Vadym Filashkin, together with Mykola Matviyenko, Head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Donetsk Oblast, congratulated the law enforcement officers and presented the well-deserved awards.
The police officers received honors from the Donetsk Regional State Administration and the Regional Defense Council, as well as awards from the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the Command of the "Dnipro" Joint Forces Task Force. Special recognition was given to those who destroy enemy drones.
In addition, forensic specialists were awarded on the occasion of their professional holiday, celebrated on August 19. Behind every solved crime lies the daily work of experts who notice the smallest details invisible to others.
"Police service in Donetsk Oblast has long exceeded the boundaries of ordinary law enforcement duties. Our officers work under shelling, evacuate people, document the consequences of Russian crimes, and often join the battle themselves.
I thank everyone who continues to serve in Ukrainian Donetsk Oblast. Happy Independence Day!" emphasized Vadym Filashkin.
