He thanked the defenders, men and women, thanks to whom Sokal lives and holds firm, and bowed his head before those who gave their lives for the community. “A deep bow to those who gave their lives for us — their feat will remain forever in the history of the community. Preserving their memory is our sacred duty,” the address reads.
