Assistance, gratitude, and cooperation — that’s the only way we must act to stand strong in defense together with our military on our native Donetsk land.
“I had the opportunity to speak with the soldiers of the 18th Sloviansk Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine and their unit commander, and to present the Defense Council of Donetsk Region awards — the ‘Defender of Donetsk Region’ and the ‘Badge of Honor’ decorations.
These are more than just awards — they are a symbol of our gratitude and respect for every day of courage and heroism on the battlefield. They serve as moral support for those who defend our cities, villages, and our people.
The soldiers of the unit are currently holding the defense and destroying the enemy in the Kramatorsk sector. On our part, we continue to provide maximum support to the brigade — funds have been allocated multiple times for the purchase of electronic warfare systems, UAVs, and FPV drones. This assistance will continue, as will our support for other units of the Defense and Security Forces.
Donetsk region is grateful to its defenders — and will keep standing by them,” emphasized Vadym Filashkin.
