UKRAINE Ukrainian (Slavic) Добрый день! Official Language(s): Greeting: Добрый день!

Ще не вмерла України Ukraine's glory hasn't perished, nor her freedom Upon us, fellow compatriots, fate shall smile once more. Our enemies will vanish, like dew in the morning sun, And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own. We'll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom, And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Kozak nation.
