Awarding 'Hero of Ukraine' to Iryna Farion. The petition has gathered two-thirds of the votes.

Ukraine continues to collect signatures under a petition to posthumously award Doctor of Philology, Professor, and People's Deputy Iryna Farion the title of "Hero of Ukraine". The petition has already gathered nearly 16,000 signatures out of the required 25,000. The petition was published on the Kyiv Council website on July 24.

The petition states that Iryna Farion made a significant contribution to the development of the Ukrainian language, education, and culture, and was devoted to the cause of national identity and statehood of Ukraine. Farion's legacy should become the foundation for forming a Ukrainocentric worldview in future generations.

The petition also notes that Farion organized political poster and drawing contests, initiated a project to popularize Ukrainian books, and created television projects "The Greatness of Personality" and "The Gene of Ukrainians". Her work encompasses not only scientific achievements but also active political activity, including the initiation of bills to protect the Ukrainian language.

Collecting signatures in support of the petition will continue for another 82 days.

We remind you that deputies of the Lviv City Council supported the appeal to rename one of the streets in honor of Iryna Farion, who became a victim of an attempt in Lviv.

Farion's daughter said that her mother planned to rest with the family at the sea before she was killed. In the last few days, she was picking up her grandson from kindergarten.

Iryna Farion died in the hospital after an attempt where an unknown person shot at her. The attempt took place on the street in Lviv on July 19.

Condolences to the family and loved ones of Iryna Farion. Her loss is a great loss for the Ukrainian nation.
