On August 19, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy honored 25 Heroes of Ukraine and the families of fallen military personnel by presenting them with certificates entitling them to apartments. This gesture is part of an ongoing tradition of gratitude towards the brave warriors who have defended Ukraine. In his speech at the ceremony, Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of remembering each hero's story and praised the courage of various military units, including infantrymen, combat pilots, sappers, scouts, and special forces.

He stressed that gratitude is a crucial aspect of a normal state and society.
