March 26 is a special and significant date for the servicemen and women serving in the ranks of the National Guard of Ukraine. To mark the occasion, the Donetsk Regional Palace of Children’s and Youth Creativity launched the regional art challenge “Shield of the State,” which brought together over 600 young patriots—students from the region’s extracurricular and general secondary education institutions.
Participants actively joined in the creative tribute to the guards, filling social media with vibrant and heartfelt works:
- creating drawings depicting brave guards;
- posting photos and collages featuring the symbols of the National Guard of Ukraine (the shield, viburnum, and Cossack cross);
- designed wall newspapers using modern technologies, neural networks, and computer graphics.
Each work is a message of gratitude, support, and faith in our Defenders. It is a manifestation of the unity of generations, strength of spirit, and love for Ukraine.
We sincerely wish the servicemen of the Ukrainian National Guard robust health, boundless energy, resilience and endurance, an unbreakable spirit, and new victories for the sake of peace and the independence of our state!
