December 6 — Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Heroism, Honor and Hope

Today, December 6, Ukraine celebrates Armed Forces Day — a holiday that, during the war, became a symbol of indomitability and devotion to its people. This is a day of honor to all those who defend our state, to those who risk their lives to preserve a peaceful sky over Ukraine.
The role of the military is especially important now, when the country is going through its most difficult test in recent history — a full-scale war. It was their dedication, professionalism and indomitability that became a shield that protects the freedom and independence of Ukraine from the aggressor. From the defense of Kyiv to the liberation of the occupied territories, the Ukrainian military became an example of resilience, courage and courage, inspiring not only their country, but the whole world.
The Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was established in 1993, but this holiday gained real importance after the start of the war. Every year adds new pages to the history of the struggle for freedom and independence. From hot spots in the east and south to international support, the Ukrainian army has proven that it has not only strength, but also an indomitable spirit. This year, the holiday has a special meaning, because every day our soldiers choose peace for their countrymen, facing new challenges on the battlefield.
Military operations in recent years have shown that the army is not only weapons or equipment. These are people who honorably fulfill their duty, protecting every corner of their native land. From the front lines to the front lines, everyone is part of a bigger cause. And while the military is protecting the country, civilians can live, work and dream about the future.
Dear defenders of Ukraine! On this festive day, the editorial staff of IA “FAKT” expresses great gratitude for your service, your courage and your love for your native land. You are our heroes, our pride and our defenders! We wish you good health, strength of spirit and confidence in victory.
