To the personnel
and veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and express deep gratitude for your courage, firmness, and dedication in protecting our Motherland.
Today you are in the centre of attention of Ukrainian society which is proud of heroic deeds of soldiers and officers who help our country withstand by standing up against the external aggressor.
Your valour and honour are examples not only for participants of military operations but for those who work in peaceful conditions.
I sincerely wish you to go down this difficult but honourable road with dignity. May love to your relatives and friends support you, keep you warm and add courage!
I am sure that the country will further be doing everything to ensure defence capacity of its army. Ukrainian Parliament will promote it in every possible way by establishing a respective legislative basis for improvement and comprehensive development of our Armed Forces.
We bow low to you! Glory to Ukraine!
