10 March is the Day of the National Anthem of Ukraine.

Nowadays, the anthem of Ukraine is sung from the bottom of the heart, both in bomb shelters and on the front line. Because they know:

Our enemies will perish like dew in the sun.

But they will not perish on their own, but thanks to our struggle.

The first public performance of the song "Ukraine's Glory and Freedom Have Not Yet Died" took place on 10 March 1865 in Przemysl as the final number of a concert dedicated to Taras Shevchenko. However, 10 March was designated as the Day of the National Anthem of Ukraine by the Cabinet of Ministers only recently, in 2021.

The national anthem is one of the main state symbols of Ukraine, along with the flag and coat of arms. Its official musical version was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on 15 January 1992, and the text was approved by the Law of Ukraine "On the National Anthem of Ukraine" of 6 March 2003.

Respect for Ukraine's national symbols is enshrined in the Constitution in the same sentence as the duty of citizens to defend the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
