To the workers and veterans of civil protection
and personnel of the
Ministry of the Emergency Situations of Ukraine
Accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of your occupational holiday the Day of civil protection workers
The workers of civil protection have always been highly respected in the Ukrainian society. The introduction of this holiday acknowledges the value of self-sacrificing activity of rescuers, who maintain productive life of our cities and villages and guarantee peaceful existence to all society under extreme conditions.
It is hard to overestimate the contribution of rescuers to prevent, protect and liquidate emergency situations of technogenic and natural character, as well as their comprehensive aid to the injured.
Modern reality, that is marked with more frequent and wide scale challenges caused by climate change and risks connected with numerous factors of human activity, poses more and more serious challenges to your knowledge, skillfulness and experience. You meet these demands of time with honor and dignity.
I am convinced that your high professionalism, consciousness and commitment to what you do will continue being aimed at the realization of this noble, decent and humane mission.
On this holiday I wish you all peace, welfare and every success. May there be less emergency and as much as possible peaceful and happy days in your life.
Volodymyr LYTVYN
