Dear brothers in arms!

I congratulate you on the 31^st anniversary of the creation of the SSU Special Operations Center ‘A’ – a unit that not only destroys the enemy, but carries out the vital mission: ensuring the protection of our state, its citizens and future! Today, we are fighting for the very existence of Ukraine.

The adversary wants more than just to seize our territory. They want to wipe our country off the face of the earth, eliminate our language, culture, and history. However, we will not allow this!

We are using our entire arsenal – all the experience we have gained over the years of independence and especially since 2014!

The results of these efforts are clear to see: dozens of unique special operations have been carried out, applauded by the whole world and proudly celebrated by Ukrainians.

A recent or latest, as they say in the military, example is the destruction of 41 russian strategic aircraft. I emphasize the word latest because this special operation is definitely not the last. Right now, we are planning new surprises for the enemy, which will be carried out by the Special Operations Center ‘A’ and our comrades-in-arms.

We inflict losses on the occupiers every day. We destroy the invaders and their equipment without hesitation. Every sixth tank hit by the Ukrainian Defense Forces is the result of the SSU’s work, and the Special Operations Center ‘A’ alone has already destroyed 1 610. And this number will only grow!

Military depots, bases, airfields, and enterprises working for russia’s defense industry are constantly burning and exploding deep behind enemy lines. We are working systematically to reduce the aggressor’s military potential and are achieving significant results.

The personnel of the SSU Special Operations Center ‘A’ are true Ukrainian warriors, combining Cossack traditions, patriotism, professionalism, and modern technology. You have already made your mark in history, and I am sure you will write many new pages in our glorious struggle.

Unfortunately, war is impossible without losses. This is not an easy path, and along the way we have lost our brothers who gave their lives for Ukraine. We remember each and every one of them. We will do everything to ensure that the enemy gets what it deserves!

God is with us! Ukraine is behind us! And we will definitely rid it of the enemy! I thank each of you for your service!

Life for the Motherland! Honour – to none!

Glory to Ukraine!

Lieutenant General
