The leadership of the Vitebsk region congratulates veterans and soldiers of the Armed Forces on Defender of the Fatherland Day

Dear veterans and soldiers of the Armed Forces, residents of the Vitebsk region!

Congratulations on Defender of the Fatherland and Armed Forces Day of the Republic of Belarus!

This holiday symbolizes the might and glory of the Motherland, its unforgettable past and worthy future. It embodies a special moral meaning, the personification of courage and honor, a symbol of patriotism, citizenship, and loyalty to military duty.

The residents of the glorious Pridvinye region have always defended the Fatherland with honor. In the year of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, we recall with deep sorrow the tragic events of those years and express boundless gratitude to those who defended the independence of Belarus and ensured its prosperity.

We are grateful to the veterans, whose feat serves as an example for the education of new generations, and to those who today, in peacetime, stand guard over the borders of our Motherland.

We sincerely wish you, dear soldiers and veterans of the Armed Forces, residents of the region, success in your work and service for the benefit of the country and your native region, health, happiness, and well-being!

May there always be a peaceful sky and secure borders for our beloved Fatherland!

Sincerely, A. M. Subbotin, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee
