Today the country is celebrating the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On this day, back in 1991, the Law of Ukraine “On the Armed Forces of
Ukraine” was adopted. The Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was established
with a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 1993. Ukraine’s top
officials have greeted the Ukrainian troops on the occasion. President Petro
Poroshenko has congratulated the soldiers with the 25 anniversary of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine. "I thank everyone who protects Ukraine!" he wrote.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense
Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said that the Armed Forces Day is a holiday
of all Ukrainians who are proud of their defenders. "You chose a difficult
profession – a dangerous and most respected one. Thanks to your courage and
professionalism, the Ukrainian army has become one of the most efficient ones
in Europe. The job of a defender of the motherland has become one of the most
prestigious ones in our country. Every third citizen trusts our Armed Forces.
Brave and strong, you are the real descendants of the Zaporizhia
Cossacks," he said, stressing that people will always remember the men who
have died for their homeland.
