People are the basis of our resilience. Over the 9 years of war, we have become stronger than concrete and steel - Zaluzhnyi 

The appeal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valerii Zaluzhnyi was published on the official telegram channel.

"The basis of our resilience is people. Ordinary people. Ordinary Heroes. Among us. With us in the ranks. These are the people who took up arms to protect their families, their homes and their country from the enemy's unprovoked and unjustified aggression. These are the people who are now, at this very moment, beating the enemy, holding their positions, freezing in the cold but native land, saving the lives of their comrades, helping the army in any way they can," said Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ukrainians have become stronger than concrete and steel over the nine years of war because we "remember the examples of the indestructibility of the defenders of Donetsk airport and Azovstal."

"Thank you, Ukrainians! To all those who serve in the Armed Forces and other units of the Ukrainian defense forces, I express my respect and deep gratitude. To all those who help, support, and believe in us, I bow my head. Eternal memory and honor to all those who have fallen for freedom. We will survive. And we will win!" Valerii Zaluzhnyi summarized.
