I sincerely congratulate the military on their professional holiday – the Day of rocket troops and artillery!
Probably no one of the contemporaries would think that we will live in the period when there is a necessity to defend our Homeland with weapon in our arms. However, the situation, as it has developed, makes us fight for Ukraine and shed our blood.
Due to your daily heroism and unconquerable will to victory we have stopped a severe and strong enemy.
Strengthening, modernization, as well as comprehensive development of rocket and artillery potential is a guarantee of our victory. I know one thing – the victory is with us today, right now, because it is in our hearts and in our veins. This is something that makes our guys on the frontline not to retreat; something that gives them strength and energy to answer calls of their relatives in a bright voice; and something that gives them strength to fight.
Victory is our independent, strong and democratic Ukraine that you will be able to protect against any enemies!
Happy holiday. Glory to Ukraine!
