Relatives, friends, teachers, military mentors and government officials came to support the young men. The first deputy head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Andriy Godyk, congratulated the lyceum students on the completion of their studies.
“Throughout your studies, you didn’t just study your chosen profession. You nurtured courage and bravery, hardened your fighting spirit, in order to become a strong support for your relatives and for the whole of Ukraine in the future. I believe that each of you will preserve and multiply the military traditions of the Heroiv Krut Lviv Lyceum, which for decades has been educating generations of servicemen who bravely defend our land from the enemy and are an example of fulfilling their highest patriotic duty,” said the deputy.
