Hard times have made us strong. And the strong bring victorious times closer. Step by step. Today, tomorrow, every day, every minute. No one has or will be able to "turn off" our resilience, endurance, strength, and courage, either planned or accidentally. They do not have an expiration date, a deadline, or an end point after which we would stop resisting and fighting, except for one - our victory.

"Today we celebrate the Day of Defenders of Ukraine. The day of heroes who have become a reliable shield of the nation. Ukrainians are once again bravely repelling enemy attacks. Step by step, they are liberating every inch of Ukrainian territory. It is a titanic effort and a very high price to pay. Despite everything, we are standing and there is no doubt that we will win!"

Addressing the cadets, students, master's and adjunct students, and university staff, he said: "This holiday unites true patriots who value freedom, honor, integrity and independence of our country above all else. We glorify the sons and daughters of Ukraine who bravely defend their homeland under the blue and yellow flag. They do incredible things every day to make our country win! Be strong and unbreakable, and bring the Victory closer with your dedicated service and excellent studies.
