FREEDOM is of special importance to every Lithuanian citizen, especially in the context of recent events. It does not matter who you are - a student, a scientist or a president - freedom unites us all, it opens the door to new discoveries, it projects our future and it is the driving force of creativity, innovation and discovery. And there is no need for great philosophies to grasp this truth, everyone understands it, for imprisonment is the greatest punishment that a man can face.
Dear members of VU community, faculty students and colleagues, LET'S CELEBRATE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE and don't be afraid of the events that are taking place in Russia, because the progress of the world is deeply related to freedom! Happy Restoration of Independence Day!
