Soldiers of Ukraine's Ground Forces thank people of United States for their assistance
Soldiers of the Ground Forces of Ukraine's Armed Forces have recorded a video message to thank the American people for their military assistance, which allows Ukraine to resist the Russian aggressor and protect the lives of civilians. Source: press service for the Ground Forces Command on social media Quote: "The soldiers of the Ground Forces thank the people of the United States for their help in defending our land and our freedom." Details: The message was recorded in English by representatives of various units of the Ukrainian Army. Background: US Vice President JD Vance claimed that US President Donald Trump had felt little respect from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. CNN journalists documented 33 instances of Zelenskyy expressing gratitude to the US, American officials, or the American people for their support following the full-scale Russian invasion. This is only an approximate count, as many of Zelenskyy's internal statements in Ukrainian were not included. Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilots expressed their gratitude to the American people for the opportunity to effectively defend Ukrainian cities from Russian aerial terror. Ukrainian operators of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems urged Americans to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainians. The operators of a Hawk anti-aircraft missile system also joined this flash mob. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Ukrainian Ground Forces Command unveils "Infantryman's Ethos", hailing troops as "universal warriors"
Ukraine's Ground Forces Command has endorsed the "Infantryman's Ethos", a new framework outlining the moral values, principles and beliefs that guide the behaviour and actions of Ukrainian troops throughout their service. Source: press service for Ukraine's Ground Forces Command Details: During the presentation of the Ethos, Vitalii Sarantsev, a spokesman for the Ground Forces Command, highlighted the crucial role of infantry in modern combat, stressing the importance of self-identity and ethical principles in carrying out combat missions. Sarantsev also emphasised the significance of training reservists, who are essential to Ukraine's combat readiness. "We must impart not only knowledge and skills but also the spirit of our army. The training of reservists should be rooted in the values of the Ethos," he added. The Infantryman's Ethos comprises several sub-sections, ranging from a brief history of the Ukrainian infantry to the definition of the infantryman's mission and purpose and established standards. The Ethos notes that infantrymen are the backbone of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. "They are universal warriors who perform the most difficult combat missions on the front line, directly facing the enemy," it states. "The infantry is a symbol of steadfastness and courage, with its soldiers forming the foundation of Ukraine's defence. Their contribution to the modern struggle for independence is invaluable, and their spirit serves as an example for the entire nation," the Ethos also adds. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
