Poroshenko Foundation reported the dismantling of boards with the inscription "Army. Language. Faith. Independence" which were placed on the Independence Day of Ukraine.

"On this day, it was important for us to emphasize that the foundations of Statehood and Independence are the Army. Language. Faith. EU. NATO. Ukraine. However, not everyone liked our congratulations, and the authorities, due to pressure on the companies that printed and placed the boards, due to the involvement of law enforcement agencies, forced these boards to be removed," the foundation said on its Facebook page on Friday.

The foundation believes that "it is difficult to interpret this as anything other than anti-state activity" and that "the truth of Poroshenko's state formula "Army. Language. Faith." is proven by life itself today. "Poroshenko's fund has already helped the Ukrainian army with more than UAH 5 billion. It is filled exclusively with money from the Poroshenko family and paid for the congratulatory boards in accordance with the concluded agreements," the foundation said.
