Greetings of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov on the occasion of the Day of radio, television and communication workers

Dear friends! Please accept my sincere congratulations on the occasion of the professional holiday!

In the current difficult times, your profession becomes especially important. You are the soldiers, the warriors who operate on the information front line, countering the war waged by Russia against our country and on the information front. A great responsibility is laid on you as the objectivity and impartiality of presenting information ensures democratic development of the country. Your assessments and comments influence state decisions, you are the chroniclers of the modern history of Ukraine who care about its future.

The best way to counter Russian propaganda, which is a part of the undeclared hybrid war, is truth. Therefore, a professional, impartial, objective, responsible and principled coverage of events taking place in Ukraine and the world is extremely important for our citizens as well as for the creation of the image of our country abroad.

So I wish you encouragement, inspiration, courage, devotion to your duty, impartiality and optimism!
