Today, we remember the feat of Ukrainian defenders who defended the Donetsk airport for 242 days. These heroes impressed the whole world. They were called "cyborgs" for their fearlessness and indomitable spirit.
The concrete could not stand it, the metal melted, but our Ukrainian soldiers persevered. We thank all Ukrainian servicemen, volunteers, doctors and volunteers for their courage.
Remember the heroes, remember them in prayer, and light a candle of remembrance. Honor the living. Glory to the Heroes of the Ages!
