Considerable attention in the speech was paid to such important markers of identity as language and history. It was emphasized that the history of Ukraine should become a national priority in the educational and humanitarian sphere in the conditions of war. State authorities must keep in mind the experience of national unity during a full-scale war. The task of civil society and the state remains unity in freedom and diversity, the basis of which is the national identity and value of one’s own state.
