Dear servicemen of the Russian Navy, dear veterans! I congratulate you on one of the most significant holidays for the Far East!
It embodies the greatness and power of the Russian fleet, its heroic history and traditions, symbolizes courage and honor, impeccable training and selfless love for the Motherland of the personnel of the submarine and surface forces, marines, artillery and aviation.
The Pacific Fleet is one of the largest and best-equipped operational-strategic formations in Russia. It played a significant role in the Great Patriotic War - Pacific Fleet servicemen participated in key battles as part of various formations, made a significant contribution to the fight against militaristic Japan, and helped liberate Korea and Northeast China from its troops.
Honoring the memory of their heroic ancestors, Pacific Fleet sailors stand guard over the eastern borders of our country, ensuring security and maintaining the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region. Many are back in combat today, protecting the world from neo-Nazis, defending Russia's interests in the Special Military Operation.
No matter what difficulties we face, no matter what stage of our historical path we find ourselves in, you always remain a reliable support for our country. Thank you! Russia is proud of you! Together we will definitely win!
Good health, happiness, good luck and all the best to you!
Yu.Trutnev
