Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine thanked Nick Vujicic for "an inspirational sermon energizing with faith and hope".

"Your example and your word are significant for everyone, especially for our soldiers who were seriously injured in the ATO zone, losing their limbs or being bound to a wheelchair. Your example inspires people all over the world not to surrender and to find the inner strength in order to take an active stance in society overcoming obstacles and trials of fate", - Mr. Turchynov noticed.

In his turn, Mr. Vujicic noticed that despite all the troubles, "there is always a place for faith, hope, and love". "This is what I want to convey to Ukrainians: your fate, the fate of your loved ones and your country depends on you", - he said adding that Ukraine is a special country with a great future.
