The celebration of Ukraine’s independence this year is not celebrated with the joy and joy of other years, but Zelensky devoted part of his day to paying small patriotic tributes to those considered “Heroes of Ukraine”. The President presented the “Golden Star” medal to the Ukrainian army and the relatives of those killed in the conflict.
“I want to thank you for our independence from Ukraine. Half a year of large-scale fierce war, 8 years of heroic defense of our country during the war in the east in Donbas. A generation struggle for Ukraine. Now I ask you to hold a minute’s silence with all the Ukrainians who gave their lives for us and honor them with this moment.”
A particularly important moment of silence, when exactly six months have passed since Russia sent its army to Ukrainian soil.
