On June 14 a daily morning ceremony was held in the Memory Hall on the territory of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to honor the courageous Ukrainian defenders perished that day in different years as a result of the Russian armed aggression in the East

The ceremony of honoring the memory of servicemen of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine was attended by heads of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, officers and employees of border and defense agencies, structural units and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, relatives and friends of the perished.

The names of soldiers perished in the plane crash of IL-76 near Luhansk on June 14, 2014, as well as five border guards perished that day in Mariupol were read on the ceremony. All of them gave their lives defending the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

The feat of each defender was saluted with a bell and volleys from the weapons of the honor guard company. After that the participants of the ceremony put flowers to the Memorial Bell.

In addition, ceremonies to honor the heroes were held in the units of state border protection, including the Main Training Center for SBGS personnel named after Major General Ihor Momot in Orshanets and directly in Mariupol.

We have to remind that the column of cars of the State Border Guard Service has been fired that day near the Azovstal plant in Mariupol on the bridge from an ambush. During the confrontation, 5 border guards were killed, including Majors Mykola Zaitsev and Vitalii Vinnichenko, warrant officer Volodymyr Hrechanyi, first sergeant Serhiy Yepifanov and employee Oleksandr Ostrovskyi. The terrorists have not only taken the lives of border guards, they have left seven children without parents, including a girl born in 2014, who, unfortunately, will not even remember what her father looked like.

Eternal memory to the Heroes!
