President Petro Poroshenko took part in the ceremony of taking oath by the students of Ivan Bohun Military Lyceum.
"The boys have examples to follow. Hundreds of commanders-graduates of the lyceum, equipped with profound knowledge, demonstrate a high level of professionalism and skills," the President said.
“I believe that you will become worthy defenders of Ukraine. You will selflessly serve the Ukrainian people. Maintain and multiply our glorious fighting traditions. You will become pride of your parents and relatives, every citizen of our state,” he noted.
The Head of State stressed that the aggressor was well and purposefully prepared for the aggressive actions. "The aggressor strengthened its army and destroyed ours through agents in the Ukrainian authorities. Nevertheless, by concentrating all available resources, due to the courage of the soldiers and a powerful volunteer movement, we have stopped the aggressor," the President underlined. He stressed that the army restored combat capability, gained military experience, increased operational capabilities, improved technical equipment and now it is tempered in a fierce armed confrontation with the Russian aggressor.
