On August 29, 2025, on the mournful Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine who gave their lives for our freedom, the "From Heart to Sky" campaign took place in Dnipro. About 50 young people from Donetsk region came together to plant plants near the Museum of the Russian-Ukrainian War and honor the memory of the fallen Heroes.

The event, organized by the Department of Family, Youth and Mass Events of the Regional State Administration in cooperation with the Center for Unity and National Resistance, was not just a tribute, but a living history lesson. The participants immersed themselves in the atmosphere of the museum, where each exposition told the story of the modern struggle of the Ukrainian people for their freedom.

The young people also had the opportunity to be among the first to watch the documentary Ark of Mercy, which is dedicated to the paramedics of the Hospitallers volunteer battalion, in particular the crews of the Austrian bus, which evacuates wounded soldiers, and to talk personally with its director Kateryna Strelchenko.

The day culminated with the planting of greenery near the Museum of the Russian-Ukrainian War, symbolizing the living connection between generations. The name of the event, From Heart to Sky, has a deep symbolism. Each planted plant is a living symbol of love and memory that goes from the hearts of the living to heaven, where the souls of our defenders reside. These plants are a living embodiment of the immortal memory of the deeds that laid the foundation for the future of a free and independent Ukraine.

In addition, the department initiated a flash mob #RememberingHeroes. It was joined by local communities, which published articles and information materials on their websites and social networks about the fallen Heroes who were residents of their localities.

Today, it is our duty to remember, honor and pass on this memory to future generations. The memory of those who laid down their lives for Ukraine is our highest value and an inexhaustible source of strength. It will live on in every flower planted, in every story told to children, and in the heart of every Ukrainian.
