According to Ukrinform, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov shared this view on Facebook.
"Unity is the foundation and the guarantee of the state's survival. Today, there is much debate about what unites us and what divides us. But in reality, the choice is simple: either we are a single whole, or we simply cease to exist. This is exactly what I spoke about at the Unity Forum. I thank the organizers for the invitation and for their work on issues important to the country," Budanov said.
He noted that war does not cancel reality – it exposes it.
"We must honestly answer who we are, what our goal is, and where we belong. We must understand that without history there is no future. This is a fundamental issue, because we cannot allow the enemy to impose false narratives on us," he said.

"To avoid losing those returning from the front, respect and real action are needed. Veterans have already answered for themselves what the state is, having risked their lives. Now it is the state's turn to ensure them a dignified future. Unity either exists or it does not," Budanov added.
