'Dear Women!

I would like to congratulate you on the occasion of March 8 - International Women's Day and express my best wishes.

Currently, hundreds of women serve in all types of troops of our Armed Forces, in special-purpose military educational institutions, military medical facilities and other areas and perform their duties with honor and dignity before homeland.
