"The long road is behind us, the most important battles are ahead. Our country is fighting its own battle, so I want to thank our heroes who are defending Ukraine. I thank everyone who believes in me and helps me: my beloved wife, mother, children, team and friends. I also thank those who do not believe in me: you only make me stronger on my way.
