'Glavkom' joins the moment of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who died in the fight for their homeland. We remember those who fell victim to Russian invaders, lighting candles of remembrance and bowing our heads in grief during the nationwide moment of silence, honoring the bright memory of the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: all military, civilians, and children, all who died in the struggle against Russian occupiers and as a result of the attack of hostile troops on Ukrainian cities and villages.
