The Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky congratulated the Ukrainian military on the Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine!
He posted the greeting words in the telegram.
He stressed that it is because of those who took the weapon and went to defend, live and fight today Ukraine.
“It is thanks to the defenders and defenders of Ukraine that our fellow citizens can live a habitual life: drinking their morning coffee, taking children to school, working and creating, feeling that their hearts are fighting with Ukraine. The beating country.
We have been imposed on the victim complex for many years, we were talked about tears, defeats and failures. But modern defenders and defenders of Ukraine have proven the opposite. You stopped Russian aggression, broke the myth of the “invincible army” of Russia, awakened the sleeping spirit of the military in Ukraine. This spirit is in your hearts! The spirit of Ukrainian victorious warriors! ”Syrsky wrote.
Every defender and every defender who put their lives for the independence of Ukraine and the freedom of the Ukrainian people is a strong stones in the foundation of our eternal statehood, he added.
“Dear defenders and defenders of Ukraine! You are the heirs of the Ukrainian soldiers of the past and the bearer of glory of the present. You are laying the way for the defenders of Ukraine for future generations, you become models for posterity. You create a state daily, keep a common belief in a strong, free European Ukraine, in the future of our children and grandchildren in your native land.
Thank you to every defender and every defender of Ukraine for your warrior work, your burning, your self -sacrifice. Who is forging our rush on the forefront. Who works for the front in the rear. Who is waiting for freedom in hostile captivity, ”the commander -in -chief said.
Annually October 1 in Ukraine mark Defenders’ Day and Defenders Day to honor servicemen, veterans, doctors, volunteers and all who are protecting our country, risking their lives for the sake of freedom.
The holiday was postponed from the traditional date on October 14 to October 1 in 2023. The reason for the transfer was the transition of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (PCU) and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) to the Novova Laple calendar.
The three most important holidays for Ukrainians include Easter and Christmas, as well as the Independence Day of Ukraine. This result was shown by a sociological survey of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology on the eve of the main holiday of the state. As for the fourth in the popularity of the holiday, it is the Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine – it is indicated by 58% of respondents.
