Dear colleagues!
Christmas is a special time of light, silence and spiritual warmth, when each of us has an opportunity to stop, look around and express gratitude to those around us. On these festive days, the director of the Plant Protection Institute Oleksandr Borzykh cordially congratulates you and your families on a great Christian holiday!
Last year was again a serious test for all of us. At the same time, it is precisely in difficult periods that the value of unity, mutual understanding and shared responsibility for the future is felt especially keenly. The staff of the Institute of Plant Protection continued to faithfully fulfill their mission, overcoming difficulties, maintaining scientific potential and faith in the future.
Thanks to your daily work, the country's food security is strengthened, the agricultural sector is supported, and scientific knowledge is developed, which already today helps Ukraine to survive, and in the future will become the basis for recovery and sustainable development. It is you who ensure the viability of agricultural science and its focus on the needs of society.
On these Christmas days, I express my sincere gratitude to each of you for your endurance, professionalism, responsible attitude to the matter and unwavering faith in Ukraine. For your ability to work, support each other and remain optimistic even in difficult times.
May Christmas fill your homes with warmth, comfort and peace. Let close people be near, sincere wishes are heard, and hope lives in hearts. I wish you and your families good health, peace, spiritual harmony and confidence in the future.
With respect and sincere gratitude
Director of the Research Center of the National Academy of Sciences,
academician of NAAS Oleksandr Borzykh
