Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

Congratulations on the day of creation of the Centre of Special Operations "A"!

For all these 27 years, the Center has occupied a crucial place within the Security Service of Ukraine system.

You are the best combat unit of the SBU. This is the result of the fact that you are a real team of like-minded people who can perform tasks of any complexity.

This requires not only professionalism and patriotism, but also reliability and a feeling of comradeship. In your work this is rational. Because for you there’s no difference between peace and wartime. You are always where the greatest threat is.

And it doesn't matter where it is - on the contact line in Donbass or in seemingly peaceful Kyiv. The ultimate goal is the same - to do the best to make the lives of ordinary Ukrainians safe.

Your professional way is not easy and casualties happens.

Memory Eternal to our fallen Heroes. Thank you for not forgetting your colleagues and helping their families.

I wish you to be up to the task and to gain your combat experience without losses.

May there be peace and prosperity in your families, and high spirit and support in the team.

Glory to Ukraine!

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine                                              Ivan Bakanov
