The President thanked the sailors for their service. “I am grateful for your love to native sea. I am grateful to those who love native land and believe in their Homeland; who fight with the enemy in Shyrokyne and Vodiane; who perform military tasks in the sea and in the air defending southern borders of the country. I am grateful to mothers, fathers, wives and children of sailors for supporting our defenders,” Petro Poroshenko said. “As Supreme Commander-in-Chief, I assure you that I will not leave you alone with your problems. I will make every effort to solve them. You should remember that the people of Ukraine, volunteers and the whole civilized world support you. We will overcome all the difficulties together. And we will win,” the President added.
