Also, the mayor of Kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko, joined in the greeting.

“For me, Lina Vasilievna is the personification of the spirit and dignity of Ukrainian citizens. Someone who never broke down under times and circumstances, and did not change his principles., And this is very important”, – said by Klitschko.

Line Kostenko is an honorary professor of the Kiev-Mohyla Academy, and an honorary doctor of Lviv and Chernivtsi universities. During the Soviet era, he actively participated in the dissident movement.
