In a tank crew, there are no superfluous movements or accidental decisions: everyone knows their role, trusts their brothers-in-arms, and acts alongside them as a single unit.
Today, I congratulate Ukrainian tankers on their professional day.
In Donetsk Oblast, your armor operates daily where conditions are extraordinarily tough. You support the infantry, hold back the enemy, advance into areas where every meter comes at a heavy cost, and prove that even the heaviest armor relies above all on the people inside it.
Thank you to every tanker for your courage, skill, and service to Ukraine. Special honor goes to those who repair combat vehicles and return them to service after the hardest battles.
Eternal memory to the tanker warriors who died defending our state.
I wish all who are in the ranks today strong armor, accurate fire, reliable comrades, and most importantly — returning safely from every combat mission.
Happy Tank Forces Day!
