Dear educators, cadets, students, and trainees of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and the National Guard of Ukraine!
The Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and I personally sincerely congratulate you on Knowledge Day — a holiday that unites the large community of those who have dedicated their lives to learning and serving Ukraine. This is at the same time a family holiday, as educated, talented, and patriotic youth is the pride of every family and the hope of the state.
For first-year students, this day is special — it marks the beginning of a new life stage, when the foundation of their professional future is laid. Your perseverance and diligence will determine whether your dreams of becoming defenders of law and order, life and health of citizens, the state border, and the territorial integrity of our country will come true.
34 years ago, Ukraine made its historic choice — to be a free and independent state. Every day, the right of Ukraine to independence is defended at the cost of their own lives by our Defenders and Defendresses. Every day, thousands of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system, through their tireless work, make the country safer, more modern, and better.
Remember: your knowledge and successful studies are a contribution to the cause of our Heroes and a worthy continuation of their feat.
Dear first-year students, study with faith in Ukraine, with respect for those who laid down their lives for the freedom and independence of our state, and with responsibility before those who entrust you with their future.
I want to express words of gratitude to teachers and mentors for their tireless work, wise advice, and dedication to the noble mission of educating young generations.
I wish everyone strong endurance, inspiration, and faith in their own strength. May the new knowledge gained this academic year become a reliable foundation for your future achievements in the name of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
