Greeting of the Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine on the occasion of the Day of Education Workers

Education forges Victory!

In times of war, education is not only about knowledge. It is the foundation of our defence capability, our intellectual shield. It gives the Armed Forces the strength to think strategically, to make bold decisions, and to confidently lead the country to victory.

A special role in this belongs to the National Defence University of Ukraine. Here, the officer elite is shaped — commanders, leaders, and analysts who combine professionalism with resilience. Every lecture, every class, every word of a teacher becomes a building block in the foundation of Ukraine’s future success.

Dear educators! Your work is a mission and a calling. You nurture the strength of mind and character, you provide the Army with knowledge that turns into decisive actions.

I sincerely thank you for your dedication, wisdom, and courage. I wish you good health, inspiration, and unshakable faith in the power of Ukrainian education and in the peaceful future of our state.

Together we are strong. Together we are Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine!

Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine
Colonel General Mykhailo KOVAL
