Greetings of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov on the occasion of the Day of the Tank officers

I congratulate warriors-tankers with the holiday! Powerful, effective tank units are the key to victory in modern land battles. Ukraine has one of the most powerful armored schools in the world, and our domestic tanks are among the best.

My first military occupation it the commander of a tank platoon, so I clearly understand what it means to be a tanker, what a hard and dangerous work it is.

Our brave tank officers protect their native country putting their lives at risk every day. Ukraine is proud of numerous feats, courage, and determination of warriors-tankers! We remember those who have not returned from the battlefield sacrificing their lives for the Motherland. May their memory live forever and honor to them!

I wish all the combat crews solid health and optimism, always to overcome the enemy - together we stopped the aggressor, together we will liberate all the temporary occupied territories!

Congratulations, dear friends! May God save you, your families, and our Ukraine!
