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

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

Today we honour those who have chosen the arduous military service and remain faithful to their military oath and the Fatherland. This holiday unites all generations of our country; it is close and dear to all who have undergone military training at different times.

In every home, in every family, the memory of the heroism of grandfathers and fathers is cherished, and pride is taken in those who today reliably ensure the security of the state, stand guard over its borders, and are ready to respond adequately to modern challenges.

A defender of the Fatherland is everyone who places the interests of the Motherland above all else, whose life and work are dedicated to its well-being and prosperity. By educating new generations on examples of courage and valour, we lay the foundation for the continued preservation of a stable and peaceful life.

on this festive day, we sincerely wish you robust health, happiness, success in service and work! May there always be a peaceful sky and harmony in our society!
