President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated the soldiers on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and awarded them with state awards, as well as presented combat flags, ribbons of the honorary award "For Courage and Bravery" and a ribbon of honorary title to the unit commanders.
It was reported on the site of the President of Ukraine.
The head of state emphasized that this is a holiday of the Armed Forces of the country, which knows how to defend itself and stands in such a way that there is simply no one in the world who can afford to ignore our state.
"And even those in the world who still do not believe in Ukraine or simply do not know enough about our country still have to reckon with how Ukraine will react," the President noted.
The Head of State thanked every family of Ukrainian warriors and urged them to always remember their relatives, friends, acquaintances and strangers - all Ukrainians who gave their lives for the sake of Ukraine. The audience observed a minute of silence in memory of all the fallen Ukrainian soldiers.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented the Golden Star Orders to the Heroes of Ukraine. He also handed the award to the families of the fallen Heroes of Ukraine.
The Head of State also presented other awards and honorary insignia to the military and units. Two brigades of the Ground Forces and a missile division of the Navy received the honorary insignia "For Courage and Bravery".
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the President of Ukraine published a video message in which he congratulated the military on the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
