Volodymyr Zelenskky: “No matter what happens, the frontline and Ukraine’s positions are always exactly where our infantrymen are. They are the foundation of the army – all those who physically hold and retake positions.

“Motorized infantry, assault, mountain assault, mechanized, and rifle units. Units that, on the ground, through their strength, their actions, and their resilience, determine whose flag flies over this land.

“I thank each of our warriors, all combat brigades that are doing their utmost to destroy the occupier and defend Ukraine. I thank everyone who delivers the necessary frontline results for Ukraine.

Happy Infantry Day. Glory to our warriors! Glory to Ukraine!
