I pledge with all my undertakings to protect the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, to provide for the good of the Motherland and the welfare of the Ukrainian people, to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, to abide by the Constitution of Ukraine and the laws of Ukraine, to exercise my duties in the interests of all compatriots, and to enhance the prestige of Ukraine in the world.[2]
The new president then signs the text transfers it over to the chairman of the Constitutional Court after conducting the oath.[1] The performance of the Molytva za Ukrainu (Prayer for Ukraine) will then follow. The president will then receive state symbols and heraldry, including the seal, the collar and bulava of the president of Ukraine. Once this is done, the president will deliver a speech that will be given in the Ukrainian language, although on some occasions Russian has been used throughout the speech. After the speech, the swearing-in-ceremony is declared closed and the president walks to the nearby Mariinskyi Palace to take the salute as supreme commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
