We see how the military power of our country has grown, its defense capability has strengthened. We are proud of the new generation of Heroes of the Fatherland - participants of the special military operation, who worthily continue the glorious patriotic and spiritual-moral traditions of the army of our country. Congratulations to all of us on the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland! Health and well-being - to our veteran heroes, strength and fortitude - to the heroes of our days, faithfully serving the Motherland at their combat post!
