First, Uzhhorod is now a calm and, without a doubt, the safest regional center in Ukraine. Secondly, our university is developing very dynamically. We are proud that UzhNU is one of the leading universities in Ukraine. We have more than 16 thousand students, and this year we are among the ten largest universities in Ukraine. We are also ranked 12th among the best universities in the country according to the TOP-200 Universities of Ukraine rating. And thirdly, and most importantly, I want to say that we value and love our students, we create an atmosphere of friendliness, mutual respect and support at the university. Friends, I have no doubt that Ukraine will win this war and become a successful developed European country. And we must contribute to this and do everything in our power to rebuild our country after the victory."
