Every morning at 09:00, a national minute of silence begins in Ukraine, dedicated to honoring the memory of all citizens who died as a result of Russian aggression.

Initiative Purpose

This important tradition was initiated by the Presidential Decree to honor both military personnel and civilians who gave their lives defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state.

Memory of Heroes

Every day during the minute of silence, Ukrainians remember specific defenders, including:

  • Mykola Burachok — operator of the 3rd Mountain Assault Company of military unit A3715, killed on January 12, 2024, in the Bakhmut District
  • Valerii Daly — defender from the Izmail District, who died in the Kharkiv region on November 22

Every hero remains forever in the hearts of the Ukrainian people.
