On October 1, Ukraine will celebrate the Day of Defenders of Ukraine, a holiday that has gained particular relevance during the full-scale Russian invasion.
This holiday is a symbol of gratitude to all those who risk their lives for the sake of security and peace in the country. On this day, we honor not only the military, but also all those who are fighting for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On the occasion of the Day of Defenders of Ukraine, we are telling you about those who defend the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The State Special Transport Service is a specialized military formation that is part of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The State Special Transport Service ensures the stable functioning of transport in peacetime and during a special period. Its main tasks include: technical support, restoration, and installation of barriers at the facilities of the national transport system of Ukraine to support the activities of the Armed Forces and other military formations.
At the same time, the military personnel are engaged in the construction and repair of new transportation system facilities, as well as in extending the service life and increasing the capacity of existing facilities. The State Road Service is engaged in the restoration of transport communications damaged as a result of man-made or natural emergencies, accidents and disasters.
"Unbroken in spirit will restore Ukraine!" is the official slogan of the service. Amid the brutal war unleashed by Russia, the servicemen of the State Railway Service are making every effort to ensure the smooth functioning of the country's transportation system. This slogan is not just words, but a clear action plan that the State Service of Ukraine for Transport is steadily implementing.
