President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that during the full-scale war, more than 110,000 Ukrainians from various branches of the Defense and Security Forces have been awarded state honors.
The head of state said this in a post on social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.
“To date, over the course of the full-scale war, over 110,000 Ukrainians from across the various components of our Defense and Security Forces have been honored with state awards. And this is only a fraction of our people’s courage, just a part of the heroism that allows us today to say with confidence: Ukraine has earned its rightful place in the world. Our task is to never lose what we have already achieved,” Zelensky said ahead of another award ceremony.
