Greeting of the Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine on the Day of Topographic Service Specialists of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Dear specialists of the Topographic Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,

We sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday!

Modern warfare is about precision — and it is you who ensure it. Every operation begins with your calculations, data, and decisions. You transform space into a system of coordinates in which the Ukrainian military operates confidently, coherently, and effectively.

Digital maps, geospatial data, and topogeodetic referencing are no longer just tools — they are the foundation of our units’ strength. Your work often remains unseen, yet without it there is no accurate strike, no forward movement, no result.

Thank you for your professionalism, resilience, and precision that serve Ukraine.

May your coordinates always lead to the right decisions.

Glory to Ukraine!

Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine
Colonel General Mykhailo KOVAL
