Dear Ukrainians! Dear colleagues!

Today we celebrate the Day of Brave and Invincible Heroes, thanks to whom Ukraine is free and unconquered.

For centuries, generations of Ukrainians have been fighting for their right to life and freedom. And these days we have to defend our Homeland from another invasion of the russian horde.

We are well aware of how strong and devious the enemy is. But we also know that there is no room for compromise in this war. Our goal is Victory. And for its sake we have all united as a nation!

Military and civilians, young and old - we are all working together to bring the day when blue and yellow flags return to the liberated cities and villages.

The SSU personnel are destroying the enemy on the frontline, conducting major special operations that change the course of the war, exposing traitors and collaborators, detaining enemy spotters and saboteurs, and investigating russia’s war crimes.

Unfortunately, in this struggle, Ukraine is losing the best of the best defenders, who, at the cost of their lives, have shown the world that Ukrainian nation is unbreakable.

We honour the memory of our fallen Heroes and are moving forward to the coveted Victory!

‘Keep fighting – you are sure to win! God helps you in your fight! For glory and holy freedom march with you, and right is on your side!’

Greetings on the Defenders Day, indomitable people!

Major General
