This day is significant for all of us as we honour the heroes who, at the cost of their health and lives, prevented even greater tragedies.

Among them are Lyudmila Viktorivna Kyrychuk, Halyna Dmytrivna Vorobei, Svitlana Mykhailivna Strykovska, Svitlana Ivanivna Tsalkovska, Fedir Danylovych Tsalkovskyi, Ihor Vasylovych Khalyk, Mykola Hryhorovych Zinchuk, Vasyl Mykolaiovych Vorobei, Vasyl Vasylovych Havryshchuk, Petro Hryhorovych Domanchnuk, Mykhailo Volodymyrovych Khotenchan.
Their heroism is a true example of courage and spirit. Their bravery and self-sacrifice serve as an important lesson for future generations. We thank them for this.
