The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, congratulated the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Day of the sisters and brothers defending Ukraine.
Congratulations on the AFU Day from Zaluzhnyi
On the day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhnyi thanked everyone who did their hard work.
I bow my head before your feat! In front of every soldier, sergeant and officer. Especially in front of those who today, in the heat of battle and under fire, in cold, frozen trenches and ruins, firmly hold the defense and destroy the insidious enemy.
It is you, regardless of titles and positions, who stand for the future of our children. This is what we fight for, not having the right to lose. Proud of everyone who is in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine today.
Ukraine does not give up — thanks to you. And thanks to you, I am convinced again and again — no matter how difficult it is for us, there will definitely be no shame! Thank you for your service! Happy Armed Forces of Ukraine Day!
The December 6 is the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
On December 6, Ukraine celebrates the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It was on this day in 1991 that the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law "On the Armed Forces of Ukraine", "On the Defense of Ukraine", and on December 13 — the Concept of Defense and Construction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which determined the main principles and directions of the development of the Ukrainian army.
The commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Oleksandr Syrskyy, congratulated the Ukrainian military on their professional holiday:
On this day, we especially remember our brothers who gave their lives for Ukraine. Eternal and bright memory and glory to them. A big thank you to their parents and families.
Defense Minister Rustem Umierov noted that the Ukrainian military has symbolised the world's military prowess and indomitability.
Each of our trenches, each of our speedboats, each of our landings rests on your shoulders. Your rallying cry "This is our land!" children are already shouting when they play in the yards. It is an honor for me to be with you side by side in these defining days for Ukraine!
