Greetings of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov on the occasion of the Day of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Dear warriors and employees of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Dear veterans!

I would like to cordially congratulate you on the occasion of your professional holiday - the Day of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

In difficult times for the country, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are faced with new challenges, and "winged warriors" have become a paragon of service to the Ukrainian people, demonstrating indestructibility, courage, and high professionalism. Today, the Air Force of Ukraine is one of the most powerful components of protecting our State and deterring the enemy!

The history of modern Ukraine and its Armed Forces has already recorded the feats of Heros of Ukraine Kostyantyn Mohylko, Dmitro Mayboroda, Knight of the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky of the III degree Oleksandr Beliy and other servicemen who gave their lives for Ukraine so that we could make a decisive advancement towards the development of our State as a powerful democratic European country.

We bow our heads to the bright memory of the warriors-aviators, who defended their Homeland till the last breath!

Dear friends, thank you for the honest service and ensuring the reliable protection of the air borders of our country, I wish you good health, family peace, as well as professional successes and victories!
