The symbol of this day was the sunflower - after all, it was through sunflower fields that Ukrainian heroes passed under bullets and shells.
Today, the head of the Chuguiv city military administration, Galina Minaeva, together with the head of the Chuguiv district military administration, Serhiy Lobodenko, representatives of military units, the National Police of Ukraine, and the State Emergency Service, honored the heavenly heroes on the Alley of Memory of the Fallen Soldiers. We will never forget any of them, their lives, and their feat!

Today, Galina Minaeva, together with the military personnel, visited the exhibition «Chuguiv Community. Damaged. Unbreakable…»

Each picture literally breaks the heart, but at the same time mobilizes for the fight. The fight for our peaceful future, for which the fallen defenders gave their lives...
