Remembering the Feat of the Kruty Heroes

January 29th is the day to honor the Kruty Heroes.

This date went down in history as a symbol of the courage of Ukrainian youth, who in 1918 stood up to defend the independence of our state.

What you should know about this day:

The battle took place near the Kruty station, where approximately 300 students and cadets opposed the Bolsheviks army of many thousands.

The youth fought to detain the enemy and give Ukraine a chance to strengthen its independence.

This event became a lesson in courage and self-sacrifice, reminding us that our freedom is always a struggle.

Let us honor the memory of those who laid down their lives for Ukraine then and now.
