Dear colleagues, dear Chornobyl veterans!

April 26 marks the 35th anniversary of the Chornobyl accident. This event is recognized as a tragedy on a planetary scale.

Hundreds of thousands of people quickly joined the fight against the consequences of the catastrophe, including 33,000 employees of internal affairs bodies and servicemen of the internal troops.

But, first of all, the firefighters stopped the spread of the disaster, did not allow it to turn into a destroying tornado for Ukraine and European countries.

Service in extreme conditions for the personnel of the internal affairs bodies was a test of courage, professionalism and moral maturity. They performed their professional and civic duties with honor.

On this day, we bow our heads in memory of the fallen heroes and pay tribute to all the liquidators of the accident, who, saving their compatriots and the peoples of other countries from nuclear danger, sacrificed the most precious thing - their health and lives.

The Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and all of us will always work to perpetuate the immortal feat of the liquidators of the catastrophe, to honor the memory of the dead, to strengthen their social protection and the social protection of the members of their families, to continue the tradition of respect for Chornobyl veterans.

We wholeheartedly wish the hero-liquidators and the members of their families health, happiness and well-being, confidence in their personal safety, peace and stability!

Honor to you!

Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to heroes!

The Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine
