Ukraine’s strongest pillar is our defenders – those who hold the front line every day, save their brothers and sisters-in-arms, defend our cities and villages, and give Ukraine the ability to stand firm. We thank them every day.

And today, on the Day of Defenders of Ukraine, we especially remember all those who gave Ukraine the most precious thing they had – their lives. We honor their memory – those thanks to whom we can live today and build the future of our country.

We preserve the memory of every one of them. Eternal honor and gratitude to our heroes.
