The Hostomel community has honoured 36 veterans with awards for the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, said Serhii Smal, head of the Hostomel settlement military administration.
This was reported by the community administration.
Each of those honoured stood up in defence of the state and proved their loyalty to Ukraine by deeds rather than words, the head of the community said.
Their courage, resilience and combat experience deserve gratitude and respect — that is how the community explained the decision.
Hostomel stressed that handing out awards is not enough: the community must hear veterans' needs and help them return to active civilian life.
That is a shared responsibility not limited to commemorative dates, Serhii Smal noted.
Hostomel is one of the communities that took the first blow of the invasion in February 2022. Many of those honoured defended their own home ground.
As a reminder, Hostomel announced a recruitment drive for foster carers.
