Ukrainian Navy Day. I thank all our naval servicemembers, marines, ship crews, coastal units, and everyone serving in the Navy. It is thanks to your courage that our maritime area remains under Ukrainian control, our southern regions are protected from Russian attacks, and the marines, together with other units of the Defense Forces, are holding back the occupier in the most difficult sectors of the front.
The Ukrainian Navy has proven to the entire world that strength is not always measured by the number of ships or resources. Professionalism, resolve, and devotion to one’s country have delivered a result that all of Ukraine is proud of. We will continue to strengthen our fleet, our marines, and all the capabilities of the Navy.
And most importantly, we remember everyone who gave their life for Ukraine. Eternal honor to our heroes. I thank everyone who is defending our state. Happy Ukrainian Navy Day!
