Dear Ukrainians! Dear colleagues!

I congratulate you on the upcoming holidays, which are a true embodiment of family affection and comfort, hope for the best and faith in the fulfillment of dreams.

These dreams are different, but they are united by a common desire: to live freely in our country, progress and face the future with confidence.

Every day, the Security Service of Ukraine is working to make sure that this desire becomes reality.

I thank all the staff of the SSU - those who defend our country in the East, those on combat missions or guarding the peace of citizens in the cities. Thanks to you, 2021 was a year of systematic protection of the state’s interests.

I believe that new victories await us in 2022. I sincerely wish you a year full of new successes and positive emotions.

May the coming year bring many happy moments to make it unforgettable and special.

Happiness, joy and peace to you and your families!

Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine

Ivan Bakanov
