21.06.2024

Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov spoke at a ceremony honoring the best graduates of military universities in the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace.

Esteemed officers!

The representatives of the new generation of the Fatherland defenders, those on whom we have special hopes when we speak about the present and future of our Motherland are in this room.

Russia is now at the forefront of the fight to establish a just and equitable world order. The collective West is seeking to contain the development of our country, break an independent political course, and undermine the security of the Russian Federation.

In times of adversity, the Russian Army and Navy repeatedly proved that they are able to respond with dignity to the most serious challenges and threats. Today, during the special military operation, Russian servicemen honourably fulfil their military duty, effectively defend national interests, and decisively fight against Nazi ideology. Thanks to their courage, selflessness and professional work, we are taking the initiative along the entire front line, consistently reducing the enemy's combat potential. In these difficult conditions, the personal responsibility of commanders and chiefs of all levels is multiplying.

Esteemed officers!

In the troops, you will be required to give the most of your life, your courage in making decisions, your concentration and self-esteem, your knowledge gained at universities and academies. Introduce into operational combat training the experience of the special military operation, advanced methods of warfare, show commander's care for your subordinates, take care of them, always remaining an example of military valour and devotion to duty.

Following the orders of Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov, cultivate in yourself the personality of a professional warrior, warrior-citizen, warrior-defender, warrior-victor, serve the Fatherland faithfully and truly.

The Russian people can rest assured that the Armed Forces will be able to ensure State sovereignty, protect peaceful lives, and create conditions for the further development and prosperity of the country.

Esteemed officers!

Congratulations on your successful graduation. My best wishes for your well-being, for your strong faith in yourself, and for further achievements for the benefit of your Fatherland. Way to go!
