Greeting of the Сommandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine on the Day of the Tank Troops

Dear tank warriors!

Your weapons are armour, speed, and precision. The Tank Troops have always been and remain the backbone of the offensive power of the Ukrainian Army. Today, you not only carry on the legendary traditions of your predecessors but also write a new history of modern battle — a history where determination, engineering skill, and courage intertwine with the latest technologies.

A tank is not just a machine — it is a symbol of breakthrough, protection, and forward movement. It is you, warriors of steel, who open the way for our troops, cover the infantry, and change the course of battle.

We bow our heads in memory of the fallen tank warriors who gave their lives for Ukraine. Their bravery and courage serve as a guiding light for current and future generations.

May your hearts always burn with unshakable faith in Victory, and may your hands wield the most advanced equipment. I wish you strong health, brotherhood, and unwavering confidence in your mission.

Thank you for your dedication, courage, and professionalism.
Glory to Ukraine!

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