Address of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov on the occasion of the Kruty Heroes Remembrance Day

Today, we honor the young Kruty Heroes who, over a century ago, made the impossible - they stopped for four days the Bolshevik army, which set off to Kyiv to strangle the young Ukrainian state.

Above their own lives, young Ukrainians put freedom and dignity, Independence of their state! Today, this example of will and strength inspires fighters in the Ukrainian army who, like over a hundred years ago, defended Ukrainian soil from imperial encroachments, countering arrogant invaders in the east.

Let us remember our history! Remember the patriots who gave their lives defending Ukraine!
