Ukraine Honors Heroic Rescuers

In a recent address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy extended heartfelt gratitude to emergency service workers who played a crucial role in addressing the fallout from a Russian strike on Kremenchuk. The attack, which targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, involved multiple missile types and drones, posing significant challenges to the nation’s air defense systems.

Despite the complex nature of the assault, a substantial number of missiles and drones were intercepted, and no casualties were reported. However, the energy infrastructure sustained damage. President Zelenskyy commended the bravery and dedication of the emergency responders, particularly highlighting the contributions of personnel from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Poltava and Cherkasy regions.

Among those honored were Denys Mandrychenko, Oleksandr Zhuravel, Serhii Broslavskyi, and several others for their exemplary service during the crisis. The President emphasized the importance of their work and expressed profound appreciation for their efforts to protect and serve Ukraine amid ongoing hostilities.

“Thank you to everyone working for Ukraine, working for Ukrainians. Thank you to everyone defending our country,” President Zelenskyy stated, reinforcing the nation’s resilience and unity in the face of adversity.
