Україна завжди памʼятатиме своїх героїв. Звернення Володимира Зеленського 07.03.2023

Today, Dmytro Kotsiubaylo, "Da Vinci", Hero of Ukraine, volunteer, man-symbol, man of courage, was killed in action. A fighter of the 67th separate mechanized brigade, a commander of a battalion. He was killed in the battle near Bakhmut, in the battle for Ukraine. Since 2014, he has been defending our independence and the dignity of our people. One of the youngest heroes of Ukraine. One of those whose personal history, character, and courage have forever become the history, character, and courage of Ukraine. For more than nine years, Ukrainian heroes have been fighting for Ukraine's future in fierce battles for the country. Peace and relative safety in the rear cities is their feat. Our confidence in Ukraine's victory is their resilience and strength. Ukraine will always remember its heroes. Our memory of them will endure, and the enemy that came to Ukraine will perish. The 67th brigade, warriors, glory to your bravery! All Ukrainians who are fighting for Bakhmut, glory to your heroism! I am grateful to all the warriors whose resilience and perseverance destroy the occupier's army in Donbas! Eternal memory to all those who gave their lives for Ukraine!
