When we, Ukrainians from different regions, work together, fight the invaders, create something significant and important, then we are united. This is what our country and our Defenders are fighting for, for a common goal – an independent, democratic and united Ukraine. May the memory of all those whose lives were taken by the war be eternal,” said Stepan Kulyniak, head of the Drohobych District Military Administration.
