Greetings of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov on the occasion of the Day of Missile troops and Artillery

Dear warriors, missileers and artillerists! I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday!

Today, missile troops and artillery are the main firepower of the Land Forces, without which it is impossible to effectively counteract the enemy.

During the hostilities in Donbas, heroic artillerists and missileers, committed to military duty, have proven their high professionalism and combat mastery. For their work and feat, the missile troops and artillery were awarded orders, medals, and honors.

I would also like to express gratitude to the specialists of the domestic defense-industrial complex, who step by step strengthen the defense capability of our state. Scientists, designers, manufacturers, and the military managed to accomplish the most difficult tasks in the short term to enhance the combat potential and capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, creating the latest models of missile weapons and artillery.

On this holiday, we bow our heads in the memory of those heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine.

Dear warriors, without your professionalism, courage, no weapons and military equipment can carry out combat missions. I am convinced that you will continue to fulfill the constitutional duty to protect Ukraine.

I wish you and your families a peaceful sky, good health, happiness, and well-being. Happy holiday!
