Andriy Parubiy, the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, extends his greeting word to rescue workers, lifeguards and veterans of the civil protection on the occasion of the Rescuer Day
Dear friends,
I am sending you all my best wishes on this special Day of Rescue Workers. Celebrating the Day, we address words of gratitude to those who, putting their lives and health at risk round-the-clock, guard the security and peace of Ukrainian citizens. The society highly appreciates dedication of those who are always ready to act and sacrifice their own lives in order to safe others. Courage and self-sacrifice are the distinctive features of many generations of rescuers. In your service associated with alarms and danger, you have repeatedly displayed stamina, fortitude and courage.
Under the
ongoing Russian aggression in Donbas, Ukrainian rescuers, through their highly
specialized skills, audacity and heroism, are doing their due with dignity. I do appreciate your bravery, patriotism
and faithful service to the People of Ukraine.
On this holiday I sincerely wish you every success in your responsible service. I also wish strong health, happiness and wellbeing to you and your relatives.
