Today, I signed two decrees on awarding state awards to our soldiers from the units of the National Guard of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service, employees of the National Police and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. 445 state awards. 175 of them posthumously. Ukraine will always remember its heroes and will be grateful to everyone who defended our statehood and independence. Ukraine must win!
