The Ukrainian people have physically and spiritually supported the Vietnamese people during Vietnam’s struggles for independence and national construction. During the fierce war time, thousands of Ukrainian military advisors and experts spared no effort to help Vietnam defeat the US imperialists. Dozens of thousands of Vietnamese have received their education and training in Ukraine. We always treasure the support of the Ukrainian people."
