Dear Friends!
My congratulations to the colleagues and team of the Independent Analytical Center for Geopolitical Studies “Borysfen Intel” on the 8th birthday of our Centre.
During this time — short historically but long for the public organization, which actually on the enthusiasm, professional approach and patriotism of its members, in the difficult conditions of our reality, relying on the great professional and life experience of a small but capable team, is trying to convey to our society a diverse analytical, often alternative, unbiased information on geopolitics, national security, international relations, etc.
Each of our experts has not only theoretical and empirical experience on these issues, but also many years of practical experience in these spheres, both within the country and abroad.
I would like to thank the whole expert community with which we work, as well as all our readers, who, despite our quite complicated for perceiving materials (we focus primarily on people involved in these spheres), remain with us.
We do try to persuade the general public that without geopolitical consciousness, understanding of who we are, what we do, what challenges we face, what positive and negative experiences of major geopolitical players both in the world and in region with more state-building knowledge should be taken into consideration.
But the main thing is that first of all we must respect ourselves as a nation, a country and an important geopolitical player on the political and geographical map of the world. And our way is our way. And no one will pass it for us. And without consolidation of the nation, without education of real elites, without building a prosperous and just society, it will be difficult, almost impossible, for us to pass our way.
And one more. It so happened that almost all members of the “Borysfen Intel”’s team devoted more than one decade to creation and development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, on this day, I also congratulate all our officers on the next anniversary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In this difficult “COVID time”, I wish everybody excellent health, so that peace would soon prevail on Ukrainian soil, the annexed and occupied lands returned to the Ukrainian family, and all of us, first of all, had the state-building and pragmatic common sense, no matter what positions we hold.
Praemonitus praemunitus!
Glory to Ukraine!
