From the time immemorial, the holiday of the Holy Virgin Protection was considered to be special, because our ancestors believed that the Virgin Mary is the Patroness and the Protector of our courageous, indomitable and unconquered warriors. It was on this day that the famous Cossacks began to organize the Great Council, where they elected a hetman and discussed their future. Since then, this glorious day has a special historical and national meaning, especially in the context of contemporary events.

That is why today is the date when the whole country says "thank you" to our true heroes for their courage and sacrifice. We are proud to have such strong and brave Defenders who continue to fight for justice and independence. We will always remember those who gave their lives for Ukrainian peace!

Thank you!
