"Kyiv is unshakable!" Zelenska showed a motivational video for the Day of the Capital

Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska movedly congratulated the capital on its day, which is celebrated on May 28. She stressed that Kyiv, which, like the rest of the country, has been subjected to enemy shelling for the second year, remains undeterred.

Legend has it that the city was founded by Prince Kiy in 482, so today it celebrates its 1541st birthday. On this occasion, the president's wife published a motivational video (to see it, scroll to the end of the news).

The footage shows volunteers handing out large bunches of balloon "flowers" to people on the streets of the capital. Attached to the bouquets is a card with the words: "Tell me honestly, how are you?" Police officers, railroad workers, passing men and women, a little boy and more received them.

"Kyiv, how are you?" This question is answered by the people who have been defending their city for the second year of a full-scale war," Zelenska noted.

She stressed that these people go to work every morning, just as they did on Kyiv Day, May 28, after staying up all night after enemy shelling.

In particular, she said, residents of the capital continue to clean the streets, make coffee, some rush to the offices while others smile behind the cash registers, and also heal and patrol, transport and volunteer, and save others.

"Today, in spite of everything, they are also celebrating. People who do not sleep every night, guarding the tranquility of their capital. People who are as hardened as metal and thanks to whom Kyiv is unbreakable," the first lady said.

She congratulated Kyiv and all the people with whom the heart of Ukrainian capital beats in an indestructible rhythm on the City Day.

As OBOZREVATEL reported, it is noteworthy that Kyiv Day was first officially celebrated in 1982. The network showed archive photos of how this holiday took place in the capital of Ukraine.
