Greeting from the Commandant of the National Defense University of Ukraine on the Day of the Ukrainian Ground Forces

The warriors who bear the main burden of defense and prove our nation’s resilience every single day —
are the soldiers of the Ukrainian Ground Forces!
It is they who are the first to face the enemy’s attacks, who fight for every position, and who ensure the steadfastness of our entire defense system.

I express my sincere gratitude to all service members of the Ground Forces for their professionalism, courage, and strength of spirit.

I wish you strong health, endurance, reliable comrades by your side, and success in all your missions.

Together — to Victory!

We bow our heads in sorrow for all our fallen brothers and sisters who gave the most precious gift — their lives — in the struggle for Ukraine’s independence.

Glory to the Ukrainian Ground Forces!
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!

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