Today, January 29, Ukraine honors the memory of the young warriors who in 1918 became a symbol of the unbreakable Ukrainian spirit.
The Battle of Kruty is not just a page of history, but an eternal lesson of courage and sacrifice. Over a century ago, a few hundred cadets and students from Kyiv engaged in an unequal battle with a much larger Bolshevik army. They delayed the enemy, buying precious time for the state. **The Ukrainian people are once again defending their independence from the aggressor**.
Today, Ukraine is forced to defend its right to freedom and existence. Modern warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine bravely stand guard over the state’s borders against Russian aggression.
*On this day, we bow our heads in memory of the young patriots* who gave their lives for the freedom of their homeland. We express our sincere gratitude to all who are today bringing us closer to our Victory.
*“Kruty 1918”* is a Ukrainian historical action film based on the real events of the Battle of Kruty in January 1918. The film reveals the high price of freedom and the self-sacrifice of the young generation in the fight for Ukraine’s independence.
We invite residents and guests of our community to join in the viewing of the film. Shared memory unites us and makes us stronger in the current struggle.
