On December 12, we annually celebrate Ukrainian Ground Forces Day —the backbone of our army, the largest branch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a formidable and victorious branch.

Dear combat-sworn brothers, we greet with honor and respect everyone who is now in combat — holding positions, counterattacking, and destroying the russian occupiers.

In the hand of a land warrior - wiry like the roots of an oak tree planted by our ancestors - is the future of Ukraine, its strength and glory.

Over the three years of the full-scale invasion of russia's ten-year war against Ukraine, the Land Forces have earned our nation the respect of the whole world with blood and sweat - they have shown us how much our land means to us!

We remember all those who are on the shield - eternal honor.

We stand in one line with all those who continue to fight!

For Ukraine, for its freedom, for its honor, for its glory, for its people!
