 The personnel of the SSU faithfully serves Ukraine, stands in defense of its sovereignty and constitutional order, security and peace of the citizens, protects the economic, scientific-technical and defense potential of the state. From the first days of the war, the Service's representatives, together with the military, the National Guard, defended our country at the frontline, carried out dangerous and effective special operations in the enemy rear. Eternal memory and honor to the SSU servicemen, who gave their lives, protecting Ukraine!

Thanks to the diligent and selfless accomplishment of your constitutional duty, hundreds of enemy agents and subverters have been frustrated, terrorist attacks prevented, and dangerous and insidious internal enemies have been exposed. Without exaggeration, the calm and peaceful life of our citizens depends on your hard, non-public and professional work!
