Thank you, heroes — Ukraine celebrates Armed Forces Day
Ukraine celebrates Armed Forces Day every year on December 6 — a day of courage, bravery and sacrifice of the Ukrainian military. This day is not only a symbol of honor and glory, but also a reminder of the importance to support those who stand guard over the independence of our state.
On Armed Forces Day, Novyny.LIVE has collected wishes for Ukrainian defenders from Lviv residents and guests of the city.
Armed Forces Day of Ukraine
On Armed Forces Day, Lviv residents thank all the military for their courage and promise to be there — by word, deed, support. The townspeople call on us to appreciate our heroes not only on holidays, but every day. And they wish our defenders to be strong in their actions and unshakable in their faith in victory.
"I wish that our defenders will have a lot of strength, inspiration and faith in the victory of Ukraine over the enemy in the new year," the girl says.
"Dear defenders, we sincerely thank you for your protection and for having peaceful mornings. Return home! We are all waiting for you," the woman emphasizes.
"I sincerely congratulate all the defenders. And I send a special greeting to my husband. I love and wait for you at home," the interviewed Lviv woman shares her thoughts.
"I wish that all the defenders return to their families and that everything will be fine with them in the new year," the girl adds.
"We love them, we are waiting for them. We want them to be strong and give us this strength. Let them win, and we will do everything possible for this," the woman notes.
We should add that the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was introduced in 1993, two years after Ukraine gained independence. The date was not chosen by chance: it was on December 6, 1991 that the Ukrainian Parliament adopted the law "On the Armed Forces of Ukraine". This marked the beginning of the formation of the modern army of Ukraine.
