'Hlavkom' also joins the minute of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who died for their homeland. We remember those who were killed by Russian invaders, lighting candles in memory and bowing our heads in mourning during the nationwide minute of silence. We honor the bright memory of the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: soldiers, civilians, and children, all who perished in the fight against Russian occupiers and due to the attack of enemy troops on Ukrainian cities and villages.
