Dear Ukrainians! Friends, colleagues and brothers-in-arms!

Every Ukrainian family awaits the New Year holidays with special faith and hope.

At this time, as never before, we feel the unshakable truth that good triumphs over evil. And that God always helps those who stand on the side of Light. Especially when you not just hope for a miracle, but make every effort to overcome the darkness.

This is the essence of the Ukrainian character: to rely on God, but also do everything you can. To fight, to hold the line and to win. That is why the Defense Forces continue to fight, showing that Ukraine is a stronghold of security for the whole world.

Side by side with our comrades-in-arms, we have gone through more than a thousand days of the Great War. And every challenge has only made us stronger, giving us impetus for new military solutions. Though, not only technology, but also the Ukrainian character will help us overcome today’s horde.

The glorious history of our ancestors shows that Ukrainians are capable of destroying the evil empire. And now – our best sons and daughters are defending every inch of our homeland to defeat the adversary and preserve Ukraine for posterity.

The Security Service of Ukraine is making a great contribution to this fight. On the battlefield, the SSU Special Operations Center ‘A’ is effectively destroying the enemy and its equipment. They are especially skilled at working with long-range drones. This year, they have hit dozens of military targets in russia’s rear: airfields, weapon arsenals and oil depots. This forced the russian army to keep its reserves away from the front line.

The SSU Military Counterintelligence has successfully used new modifications of Sea Baby drones, including in combat with aircraft and helicopters. The Counterintelligence counteracts russian agents inside the country and detains traitors, agents adjusting enemy strikes and collaborators. SSU investigators collect high-quality evidence to ensure that every culprit receives a well-deserved punishment. Our cyber specialists hold the information front.

We are doing everything to make sure the enemy knows that retribution is inevitable in heaven or on earth!

I am grateful to everyone who works for Victory and helps the Defense Forces. I wish harmony, happiness and prosperity to your families! And I wish all Ukrainians strength, inspiration and the inevitable Victory of Light over darkness.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Head of the Security Service of Ukraine

Lieutenant General Vasyl MALIUK
