Today, we honor the Armed Forces of Ukraine — the people whose courage holds our sky, our freedom, and our future. You stand in the darkest places so that light can live in ours. You protect everything we cherish, often at a cost no words can measure. Thank you for your strength, kindness, and humanity in the face of inhuman challenges. Wherever you stand, wherever duty finds you, please know that millions hold you in their thoughts and prayers. Some soldiers will never return, and we carry their memory in our hearts, as their sacrifice must never be forgotten. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
