To military men, workers and veterans
of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday – Day of the Border Guard.
Every year May 28 unites all generations of defenders of our country’s borders who in times of peace and in times of troubled years have always been the first ones to protect our Homeland.
Today, in troubled times, when our people and our country face hardships, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine is one of fundamentals of ensuring national security of the country, a guarantee of reliable protection of the state border preserving integrity and sovereignty of our Homeland.
Ukrainian society believes that in the face of external aggression the border guards will not shudder or withdraw abandoning the sacred border, they will fulfill their constitutional duty.
I am sure that increasing the fame of veterans, border guards of independent Ukraine will further be examples of professionalism, integrity, high culture and self-dedication when upholding interests of Ukrainian people and protecting their parental land.
I wish you and your families peace, health and happiness, prosperity, the good and harmony.
I wish you success in your service for the benefit of the Homeland!
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
