Every time I meet our military, I always express immense gratitude for being alive. We organize our ordinary lives, see our loved ones, and plan for the future, thanks to those who defend our state where it is incredibly difficult.
Today, I want to address our colleagues – 268 prosecutors serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These are people who face war every day. They are our conscience, our unyielding support, the height we must aspire to. Every soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regardless of their profession, is someone who enables our state to exist.
"The Ukrainian warrior is not a profession. It is the highest form of service."
We, ordinary citizens, always face the question – can we adequately express our gratitude? Can we come closer to understanding their sacrifice? We will never be able to assess the cost of their choice, but we are obliged to live honestly, principled, and with dignity, to work flawlessly – so they are not ashamed of us, of those they protect. We must stand with them – not in words, but in deeds, not on the internet, but in the everyday work that is carried out with the same quality as they hold the front.
On Armed Forces of Ukraine Day, I want to emphasize to everyone at the forefront – we are with you. Thank you for life, for freedom, and for the state that you hold on your shoulders. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Glory to everyone who protects us! Glory to Ukraine!
The news concludes with a poignant and grateful address to the military who bear the heavy responsibility for the defense of the state, emphasizing the significance of their service for all citizens of Ukraine.
