Greetings of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov on the occasion of the Day of Missile troops and Artillery

Valorous warriors-gunners!

I sincerely congratulate you with the professional holiday!

Artillery and missile troops - the basis of our Ground Forces - are the power and might, without which it is impossible to win any battle. Everyone saw your professionalism and courage during the protection of Ukraine from invaders. May the memory and glory of those heroes-gunners and missilemen, who gave their lives for our country's chance to develop freely and independently, live forever!

Today, one of the priorities of the State is implementing the missile program and building a reliable missile shield of the Motherland. Our producers and scientists are doing their best to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with powerful domestic missile weapons. Step by step, consolidating the efforts of inventors, scientists, manufacturers, Ukraine will regain its lost positions in the global market of missile technology!

Dear friends! Your feat of arms is the linchpin of peace of our citizens, of a clean and peaceful sky.

Congratulations! May God bless you and Ukraine!
