Address by NSDC Secretary on the Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Donetsk Airport

Today is the Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Donetsk Airport.

The “Cyborgs” stood where it seemed impossible to stand — and proved to the whole world that Ukrainians cannot be broken.
242 days of defense became a symbol of a new Ukrainian army and a nation that chose freedom.

The defenders of Donetsk Airport fought for our dignity, independence, and future. Their feat is a moral compass for everyone who is holding the line today.

We remember every name. We bow our heads before the families of the fallen.
And we continue the fight, because we know: Ukraine will stand, just as the “Cyborgs” stood.

Eternal memory to the Heroes.
