Dear staff and cadets!

It is my pleasure to congratulate the entire National Academy community as we celebrate its 30th anniversary!

The founding of the Academy was vital in process of formation of independent Ukraine. Since then, it has been training professionals and patriots for Ukraine .

Performing its mission, the Academy has become a highly recognized establishment educating skilled professionals in state security.

The Academy graduates are people who have consciously chosen the path to defend Ukraine, and are now deterring the aggressor in the East, counteracting to hybrid warfare and internal threats.

They have indeed safeguarded the state!

I am grateful to the staff who are committed to improve the Academy while combining teaching with practical experience and to cadets and graduates for serving in the interests of the state and its citizens.

Today, more than ever, Ukraine needs a strong and efficient special service responding effectively to current challenges.

The keystone to success is high-quality training.

Your significant contribution to the development of state security is greatly appreciated.

May I wish you continued success in future endeavors, inspiration and progress!

Glory to Ukraine!

SSU Head
