Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin congratulated Ukrainian soldiers on Armed Forces Day, adding that 268 prosecutors serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces. He also thanked the defenders for their lives, freedom, and the country they hold on their shoulders, reports UNN.
Every time I meet our military, I start with one sentence: "Thank you for being alive." We work, breathe, see our loved ones, plan for tomorrow only because they hold the sky and earth where it is most difficult.
First and foremost, the Prosecutor General addressed his colleagues who face war every day - 268 prosecutors serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Those who once entered office every day, and today enter dugouts. Those who replaced a tie with a bulletproof vest. Those who did not wait for an order to defend the country. For me, they are not just colleagues. They are our conscience. Our invincibility. Our height, which we look up to.
According to him, every soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regardless of profession, rank or origin, is a person thanks to whom Ukraine exists.
I often ask myself: do we have enough words of gratitude? Can we say something that will bring us at least one step closer to the scale of their choice? The truth is one: we will never compare to them in the price they pay. But we can and must pay our own: with honesty, principle, dignity, work without flaws. So that they are not ashamed of those they protect.
The Prosecutor General emphasized that a Ukrainian warrior is not a profession. It is the highest form of service.
And today, on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I want to say to everyone on the front line: We are with you. Not with words, but with deeds. Not with posts on social networks, but with the work that we are obliged to do as well as you hold the front. Thank you for life. For freedom. For the country that you hold on your shoulders. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Glory to everyone who stands for us. And glory to Ukraine.
