Lukashenko congratulates engineering troops on their professional holiday

Dear comrades!

I congratulate you on your professional holiday - Engineering Troops Day.
The army's fighting ability, its victories and defeats are largely determined by the training, technical equipment and endurance of engineering troops. This was exactly the case during the Great Patriotic War, when military engineers, bringing the Victory closer, under the gunfire and bombardment, arranged positions, set minefields, made crossings.

Just as selflessly military engineers participated in the post-war restoration of the national economy, liquidation of the consequences of natural disasters and the Chernobyl catastrophe.
And today military engineers are successfully fulfilling responsible tasks on neutralisation of explosive objects, prevention of natural threats, ensuring safe life of our citizens.

I am convinced that the engineering troops of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, equipped with modern weapons and machinery, will continue to be a reliable link in ensuring the military security of the Belarusian state, peace and stability in our society.

Special words of gratitude to the veterans who have made a significant contribution to the formation and development of the engineering forces.
I thank you for your service.

I wish you good health, peace, kindness and new achievements in your work to strengthen the defence capacity of the Republic of Belarus.

Alexander Lukashenko
