Dear Ukrainians! Dear colleagues!

Our country is celebrating the 31st anniversary of Independence, fighting for its freedom. With weapons in hands, we are defending what every Ukrainian family has been building for decades. But most importantly, we are standing up for the future of Ukraine.

That is why today’s holiday is a symbol of struggle, unity and faith in Victory, which we are all bringing closer on the front lines and in the rear.

Independence Day represents strength and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people. Because no matter how much the enemy tries to destroy our state, we know that we will defeat the invaders.

Step by step, we will liberate our homeland in order to throw the russian horde back to where it came from.

This is our mission. And it will be successful!

The Security Service of Ukraine, side by side with the Defence Forces, is doing everything to make Victory closer. Together, we are on a difficult path, on which, unfortunately, we are losing real Heroes – Ukraine’s best sons and daughters.

We remember their heroism. But even painful losses will not stop our fight for liberation!

Our aim is not only to return our territories and rebuild destroyed cities and villages.

We strive to live in a peaceful, safe and united country. And this dream will become reality!

Defending Independence – Bringing Victory Closer!

Glory to Ukraine!

Respectfully,

Acting Head of the SSU

Brigadier General

Vasyl Maliuk
