RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin congratulated all Russian military sailors on the Navy Day. “I congratulate all military sailors of Russia on Navy Day. Today, we celebrate all generations of courageous sailors and officers who are devoted to their duty and loyal to the Motherland. On this day, we remember those who have built the glory and might of the Russian Navy over the centuries, asserting Russia as a great naval power through their military achievements, victories, hard daily work and brilliant scientific advancements,” Putin said in a video address on the occasion of Navy Day.
The President noted that since the time of Peter the Great, the fleet had been and remained an asset and a source of pride of Russia, and representatives of the naval class deservedly enjoy special honor and sincere respect of the Russian people.
“It is a well-established fact that our naval personnel have always stood for the Motherland and honour. Your fortitude and courage, knowledge and honesty, integrity and fellowship have been forged through harsh and dangerous naval service and its unique culture, the essence of which is your sincere, heartfelt and unconditional love for the Fatherland,” Putin said.
The Navy plays a crucial role in ensuring Russia’s defense and security and in protecting its legitimate interests across the globe, the Russian leader stressed. Russia’s new Navy Development Strategy has been approved this year, the first such document designed for an extended period, until 2050, Putin recalled.
