Embassy of Ukraine in Prague / Velvyslanectví Ukrajiny v Praze

January 16th is the day of memory of cyborgív.
16. January – the day of honoring the memory of the Cyborgs
Today we honor those who “endured their positions in moments when even concrete couldn’t”. These are living and dead Ukrainian soldiers who defended Donetsk airport for 242 days from 26.5.2014 to 22.1.2015 and became one of the most famous symbols of Ukraine’s resistance to Russian invasion.
Heroes never die !
