Dear colleagues, combat sworn brothers!

Please, accept my sincere congratulations on the Day of Defender of Ukraine!

This day we pay honour to courage and heroism of all those who fought and nowadays are fighting for the native land, because our people upheld the right for liberty and independence over many centuries.

The Ukrainians have always demonstrated an unwavering spirit. And today our troops, tempered in hybrid ruthless war against the Russian aggressor, are an example of victory and invincibility because we have only purpose – triumphant end of war and returning of our territories.

May this great holiday, covered with glory, add us energy and optimism in the struggle against hateful enemy. And as long as there are true patriots on Ukrainian land, no one manage to conquer our great nation!

I thank everyone for your considerable contribution to the protection of our country, for your patriotism and high professionalism.

I genuinely wish you good health, peace, well-being, harmony and new achievements for the sake of Ukraine.

Glory to defenders of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine

Colonel General Vasyl BURBA
