Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, presented parliamentary honours to Ukrainian professionals in the fields of medicine, education, culture and sport, as well as to volunteers and local government representatives.
The presentation of these awards is far more than a formal recognition of merit. According to Ruslan Stefanchuk, each award symbolizes the heartfelt gratitude of the entire Ukrainian Parliament for their tireless daily labor during these challenging times.
"A state's strength lies in the people who honestly and devotedly carry out their duties for the sake of Ukraine. Each of them has their own story of service to the people and the nation. Thanks to their resilience, hospitals and schools remain operational, communities develop, our identity is preserved, champions are raised, new ideas are born, and vital initiatives are brought to life," emphasized the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
