Greetings from the Head of the National Defense University of Ukraine on the Day of Missile Forces and Artillery

The Day of Missile Forces and Artillery is a tribute to the strength, sense of duty, outstanding professionalism, and heroism that are inherent qualities of our artillery warriors.

Artillery has always been, and remains, a powerful fire support pillar of our Defense Forces. Today, in the context of the full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the combat units of missile forces and artillery play a decisive role on the frontline.
Your precision, coordination, courage, and composure make it possible to hold back the enemy's advance, support infantry and armored troops, destroy key enemy targets, and ensure the successful completion of combat missions.

I extend my sincere gratitude to all who serve in the missile forces and artillery — to those who pass on their experience, mentor the new generation, and to all who, both in the rear and on the frontlines, contribute daily to bringing victory closer.
Special honors go to those who fell in battle for the freedom and independence of our country. Their heroic sacrifice is forever remembered and glorified.

May your hearts always carry unwavering faith in the strength of our weapons, in the unity of comrades-in-arms, and in the victorious spirit of the Ukrainian Army.
Wishing you strong health, family well-being, reliable support, and continued success in your noble service to Ukraine!

Glory to the Missile Forces and Artillery!
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!

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