"Glavkom" joins the minute of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who died fighting for the Motherland. We remember those who died at the hands of Russian invaders, light candles of memory, and bow our heads in grief during the national minute of silence, honoring the bright memory of the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: all the military, civilians, and children, all who died in the fight against Russian occupiers and as a result of the enemy troops' attack on Ukrainian cities and villages.
