Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Freedom of Speech, noted the importance of the memorial project and expressed support for this initiative.
— I would like to thank everyone involved, in particular the MHP company, who support this project. We have a huge debt to those who died. There is a good phrase: “Heroes don’t die…”. But this phrase has a continuation: “…while the memory of them is alive”. In this case we have heroes. We name the streets after them. But, I completely agree, if we don't practice this memory… I was also in Israel, I was at Arlington in the USA — and this is a cult in the good sense of the word. They come from school. You can come to the agricultural fair, but they will take you to Arlington “for sure”, so you can see how proud we are of our heroes.
And we really need to learn this. Thank you for doing this locally — supported the initiative Yaroslav Yurchyshyn.
