Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has greeted women with the 8th of March.

"Dear women, our darling, kindhearted and always beautiful women! We again meet the Holiday of Spring, and we greet Ukrainian women – our mothers, wives, daughters and sisters, the domestic goddesses," the president’s press service reported on Saturday, citing Yanukovych.

"We love you. We are enchanted with you, dear women. We respect you for your tolerance, wisdom and faithfulness, for love in your heart," reads the president’s greeting.

Yanukovych said that there is nothing more sacred in the world than a woman, who gave birth to children and learnt them to do first steps.

"We all owe you dear women. The state owes you, but we’ll change the situation for better," reads the greeting.
