What is important to know about the new holiday

Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The Head of State reminds Ukrainians that the work of soldiers is not public, but in most cases it is decisive.
What is important to understand is that we are talking about precise and clear actions deep behind enemy lines, the hottest battles on all fronts, and devastating strikes on critical enemy infrastructure.
Thank you for your strength, reliability and professionalism. Congratulations on your professional day. Glory to Ukraine! — the Ukrainian leader congratulated the soldiers.
