To the personnel and veterans
of the military service of Ukraine
Dear friends!
With all my heart I congratulate you on the Day of the Military Intelligence of Ukraine!
Intelligence subdivisions have united people for whom patriotism, courage and decency are not merely a motto, but a sense of their life. No wonder the intelligence officers are proud of their service that has always been deemed as an elite one.
At present, when a foreign aggressor fights an undeclared cruel war against our state, the value of intelligence activity is especially topical. I am convinced that you will decently perform your duty to your Homeland by displaying high professionalism, initiative and self-devotion.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will do its best to refine the legislative base in order to comprehensively maintain military intelligence with the latest equipment and armament and introduce efficient system of state social protection guarantees for the representatives of one of the most prestigious professions in our society.
By expressing sincere gratitude for your service and loyalty to the best military traditions, I wish you all sound health, happiness and a steadfast faith in our victory!
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
