Hostomel has unveiled an installation dedicated to the defence of Hostomel airport and to the defenders of Kyiv region.
This was reported by the Hostomel settlement military administration.
At its base lies a real concrete slab from the airport. It is broken in two: a symbol of the occupiers' shattered plans.
A steel stele rises from the break. On it, defenders of Kyiv region left their unit patches — each one brought by a particular soldier.
The battle for the Hostomel airfield was one of the decisive moments at the start of the full-scale invasion.
This is where the enemy planned to land troops and open the road to Kyiv. Ukrainian forces wrecked that plan.
Hostomel, Irpin, Bucha and other communities of Kyiv region took one of the first blows of the russian army. And they held.
The installation is meant to stay open: anyone who defended Kyiv region can come and add their patch and the story of their comrades.
As a reminder, Kyiv region is where the advance on the capital was stopped.
