Vadym Filashkin, Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, delivered an official City Day address honoring Kramatorsk and emphasizing its resilience as a central hub for the region.
He emphasized that Kramatorsk represents a shared character rather than mere geography, built by those holding the front lines, volunteering, working, and refusing to surrender.
The city serves as an enduring symbol of Donetsk Oblast: resilient, unconquered, and vital to the collective effort to secure the right of displaced residents to return home.
"Happy City Day, Kramatorsk. You are our shared home, our shared responsibility, and our shared victory, which will surely come," stated Vadym Filashkin.
