President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the personnel and veterans of the engineering troops of the Armed Forces on their professional holiday - the Day of Engineering Troops. This was reported to BELTA by the press service of the Belarusian leader.
"The combat capability of the army, its victories and defeats are largely determined by the training, technical equipment and resilience of the engineering troops. This was the case during the Great Patriotic War, when military engineers, bringing Victory closer, under shelling and bombing, equipped positions, laid minefields, and built crossings," the congratulation reads. "Just as selflessly, warrior-engineers participated in the post-war restoration of the national economy, the elimination of the consequences of natural disasters and the Chernobyl catastrophe."
The Head of State noted that military engineers are still successfully carrying out responsible tasks of disarming explosive objects, preventing natural threats, and ensuring the safe life of the country's citizens.

The President addressed special words of gratitude to the veterans who made a significant contribution to the formation and development of the engineering troops, and also wished everyone good health, peace, kindness, and new successes in their work to strengthen the defense capability of Belarus.
