Every year on the first Sunday of October, the soldiers of territorial defense celebrate their professional holiday: the Day of Territorial Defense of Ukraine. With the beginning of the large-scale invasion of the russian federation, the territorial defense forces accepted more than 100,000 Ukrainians into their ranks, who, together with other types and branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stood up for the defense of the state. Ukrainian troops continue to carry out combat missions and liberate new settlements. This was the subject of an educational hour in group of the I year  of the department  "Medical business" (11) B, where students shared memories of their fellow villagers from territorial defense.
