I would especially like to thank today the fighters of the 115th Separate Terror Defense Brigade of the Sever Operational Command, who distinguished themselves by their courage and the results needed by Ukraine in the battles in February-March, when they stopped the advance of the enemy, and who continue to defend our state in the Northern direction.

The occupation of the North: the main thing
On February 24, Russian troops from the territory of Russia and Belarus invaded the territory of Sumy, Chernihiv, Kyiv and part of the Zhytomyr region. The main goal of the infidels was to advance in the direction of Kyiv.
At the end of March, Ukrainian defenders and defenders drove the infidels out of the northern regions. At this time, the world saw the true face of the Russians in the form of atrocities in Bucha, Irpen and Gostomel. The invaders tortured and killed civilians, they left many bodies right on the roads. Also, many victims were found in cellars and mass graves.
