They stopped the advance of Russian troops in the first days of the war when few believed in Ukraine’s ability to resist.
They are recapturing Ukrainian cities from the Russian invaders with lightning speed.
They learn how to use modern weapons in a matter of days, although it usually takes months.
They are fighting for every piece of Ukrainian land.
They are Ukrainian heroes.

Glory to the defenders of Ukraine!
