Congratulations on Defender of the Fatherland Day

Dear friends! Defender of the Fatherland Day is traditionally associated with the courage, strength and heroism of our compatriots.

And today I would like to express my gratitude to all the defenders of the Motherland who stand guard over our freedom and independence and, of course, to all participants in the special military operation. Employees of the military-industrial complex, who provide our Armed Forces with modern weapons, equipment, and uniforms, make a special contribution to the fulfillment of their tasks.

Thanks to their achievements, our army is one of the strongest and most modern in the world. Every day, Russian soldiers and officers, design engineers and workers prove that they proudly bear the title of Defenders of the Fatherland! Today, every family will hear words of gratitude addressed to our grandfathers, fathers, and sons. 

May the memory of the exploits of the past years be carefully preserved and passed down from generation to generation, and the heroes of our days in battles are accompanied by luck and faith in a common Victory! 

Congratulations to all defenders of the Fatherland on the Holiday! Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
