To liquidators
of the consequences
of the Chornobyl catastrophe
Dear friends!
Let me express my deep gratitude and respect for your heroism during elimination of consequences of Chornobyl catastrophe, a global scale man-made catastrophe.
Today we commemorate those who devotedly fulfilled their duty for the sake of saving millions of people and mitigating the catastrophe's consequences. In those horrible days, ignoring a threat to not only your health but your life as well, you entered an uphill battle with invisible and wicked enemy.
Unfortunately, a lot of your colleagues have passed away, but their heroic deed has forever been carved in hearts of their thankful compatriots. I want to believe that such tragedy will never happen again.
With all my heart I wish you and your families peace, sound health, vital energy, resilience, the good, and welfare.
Volodymyr GROYSMAN
