Dear paratroopers! Airborne Veterans!

I sincerely congratulate you on the 92nd anniversary of the formation of the Airborne Forces!

On this day, we pay tribute to the memory of the paratroopers who died in the line of military duty. Thousands of Soviet and Russian soldiers gave their lives in the name of the interests of the Motherland, following the motto of the Airborne Forces to the end – «No one but us!».

Our special gratitude today is to the veterans of the Airborne Forces, as well as to veteran organizations, on whose shoulders fell the responsible social task of educating the younger generation in the spirit of the traditions of the national army. The current generation of paratroopers carefully preserves and enhances the military traditions of their predecessors, sacredly honors the laws of military brotherhood.

A low bow to all the paratroopers who are on combat duty today, guarding the borders of our Fatherland and ensuring the protection of Russia's national interests.

I wish you health, prosperity to your families, always peaceful and clear skies!

Happy holiday, comrades!

Head of Ufa City Administration
