"Remember every warrior": Syrskyi congratulates Ukrainians on Easter

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi congratulated Ukrainians on Easter. He called on all civilians who celebrate the Resurrection of Christ to remember our soldiers on the front line, veterans who lost their health in the fight against the aggressor, and fallen Heroes who made it possible for us to live in an independent Ukraine.

The Colonel General posted his greetings on Telegram and other social media on the morning of May 5. First of all, he addressed all the country's defenders who are on the front line and therefore cannot share the joy of this holiday with their families.

"My special words of gratitude and support go to the Ukrainian defenders who are keeping the peace of the whole of Ukraine on this holiday. On this day, I wish all Ukrainian soldiers good health, resilience, strength and courage. May the Risen Lord, who defeated death, give us the strength to defeat the enemy and strengthen us in the struggle between good and evil!" the head of the Armed Forces wrote.

"No matter how hard it is for us, we know that day comes after the darkest night. We know that after Christ's suffering and death there will be the Resurrection of Christ! We know that after this insidious, bloodthirsty Russian aggression, our Ukrainian Victory will come!" he emphasized.

Syrskyi called on his compatriots who will come to churches on Easter to pray for every Ukrainian soldier. "On this day, remember everyone who is now on combat duty and thank them for defending Ukraine," the colonel general asked.

"Don't forget and invite every Ukrainian veteran - a defender who lost their health in the fight against the Russian occupiers - to your family's Easter table. Do not leave them alone, do not leave them forgotten. Remember their heroism and courage!" Syrskyi added.

He also urged not to forget those who gave the most valuable thing - their lives - in the struggle for freedom and independence of Ukraine.

"Remember them in your Easter prayers because it is thanks to them that we can celebrate Easter in an independent Ukraine," the military emphasized.
