Dear brothers in arms!

I congratulate you on the Day of the Airborne Assault Forces - a holiday of courage, heroism, and bravery.

Airbornes are always at the forefront of war, fearlessly going into battle and performing the most difficult tasks, regardless of the circumstances.

A Ukrainian air assaulter's presence is a nightmare and a verdict for the russian occupier. And no matter how elite the enemy opposes the Air Assault Forces, a meeting with Ukrainian paratroopers on the battlefield is the last for the foe.

At the cost of heroic efforts, you are reclaiming Ukrainian land and inspiring others to fight.

No matter what difficulties arise along the way, nothing is impossible for the Air Assault Forces. You are always there where it's hottest - where the fate of our country is decided.

I wish you good health, unbreakable will, and the path to our victory!

Glory to Ukraine!
