Heroes.

Courageous and brave Ukrainian soldiers.

Each and everyone who gave the most valuable in the struggle for Ukraine.

Today, on the Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine, who died in the struggle for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, we bow our heads to all those who laid down their lives for the sake of Ukraine’s future. Those who have been defending their homeland since 2014. Those who did not see the Victory but did everything to bring it closer. Those who are with us forever.

Thank you for your heroism, dedication, strength, courage and steadfastness.

We remember and honour the names of each of our soldiers and defenders today and always.

Glory to Ukraine and its Heroes!
