The President’s congratulatory telegram reads, in part:
“You can truly be proud of your rich history of service, which spans over 200 years and includes many generations of soldiers and officers who always demonstrate professionalism, commitment to their duty, valour and personal bravery in times of peace and years of war.
Today, the interior troops’ service members are commendably continuing the best traditions built by their predecessors, resolving important challenges in maintaining constitutional order, ensuring the interests of the state and the security of our citizens.
I am confident that you will continue to demonstrate an excellent level of training, the ability to competently and efficiently act in the most difficult circumstances, strongly defending the law.”
