Please accept my sincere congratulations on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

For the 286th day Ukraine has been waging a national and liberation war against the rashist horde for own freedom, identity and culture that goes back about ten centuries.

Due to its achievements, the Armed Forces of Ukraine has shown the whole world that we able to fight and win. Despite fire superiority and great number of troops, russia has not succeeded. Sun Tzu, a great strategist, wrote, "Those one who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be in danger even in a hundred battles." Through bold actions, we are destroying the kremlin’s plans. Massive missile strikes only harden us, and pain and rage add strength. We are effectively countering, destroying the enemy and liberating our territories step by step.

Today, the history of Ukraine and the whole of Europe is written on the battlefields with the blood of our heroes. Eternal honour and memory to all those who gave their lives, defending their native land!

I am confident that with joint efforts we will defeat the insidious and cynical aggressor as well as restore the territorial integrity of our country! All russian executioners and criminals will be punished!

Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Glory to Ukraine!
