“Today, we once again thank the Heavenly Hundred Heroes. We remember their sacrifice. But memory is not words, memory is action. Therefore, we must act in such a way as not to disgrace the memory of our Heroes. Glory to Ukraine,” said Adriana Dygdalovich, the daughter of Heavenly Hundred Hero Andriy Dygdalovich.
The annual silent action “Angels of Memory” was initiated in memory of the shooting of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes on February 18-20, 2014, on Instytutska Street in Kyiv.
