December 6 — Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The date of this holiday is associated with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On the Armed Forces of Ukraine” on December 6, 1991, and the holiday itself began to be celebrated in 1993, in accordance with the Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dated October 19, No. 3528-X.

This holiday is one of the most important in Ukraine, because the importance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as our defenders and liberators grows with each passing day of this terrible bloody war. Devoted patriots are fighting, for whom freedom, dignity, independence and the inviolability of the borders of our state are the most important thing, are fightingю Valiant soldiers, not sparing their own health and lives, perform the most difficult combat missions, knocking the enemy out of our land.

Armed Forces Day is also special for every citizen whose freedom and right to life are protected by the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Today is a holiday not only for professional soldiers, but for the entire country – for every volunteer, every family, where a son, brother, father, husband with a weapon in his hands defends Ukraine.

On this holiday, we congratulate our defenders, express our gratitude and respect to them.

We honor the memory of those who gave their lives, defending the independence of the Ukrainian state from the military aggression of Russia.

Glory to the Heroes!
