Today, 20 February, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife Olena paid tribute to the Heavenly Hundred.
"Ten years to the Heavenly Hundred. Ten years... Ten years ago, an attempt was made to kill Ukrainians in their own country, in their own capital, just for making a peaceful choice to be themselves and be free. Ten years later, attempts to destroy us and our independence continue. There were bullets against the unarmed Heavenly Hundred. Now it is missiles, drones and armies. But ten years ago, we stood up and we are still standing. Hundreds and hundreds are the heavenly and living defenders of our right to be! Thank you for everything! And we will stand together," the statement reads.
In his address, the President noted that today Ukraine honours the memory of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes. The memory of how Ukrainians know how to fight for their freedom. The memory that our unity has no enemy capable of defeating it. That the selflessness of Ukrainians has no limits and makes history.
