Every year on March 14, Ukrainian Volunteer Day is celebrated in Ukraine.

This date was not chosen by chance. It was on this day in 2014 that the first 500 volunteer fighters left Maidan Nezalezhnosti for the training base in Novi Petrivtsi to form the first volunteer battalion. Men and women organized themselves and went to the east of Ukraine - to protect our state and its sovereignty.

On the initiative of the members of the Student Council of Rivne Medical Academy: Alina Gryn, Oleksandra Lutsyk, Illia Lehetsky, Sofiia Kokil, Balitska Solomiya, Iryna Dubynetska, Diana Niverchuk, a meeting was organized with Bohdan Khmeliar - a safety engineer of our educational establishment, who currently serves in 68 separate brigade.

Deputy director on educational work Svitlana Bukhalska and social pedagogue Nadiia Melnychuk made a welcome speech, who remembered their colleagues - soldiers of the Teroborona, Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard:

  Taras Husaruk,

  Andrii Kukurudza,

  Ihor Lysanets,

  Vladyslav Rytskyi,

  Mykola Ivaniuk,

  Oleh Redko.

Dear Defenders, thank you for your dedication and patriotism. You are a model of courage and love for the native land.

Eternal memory to the volunteers who died defending Ukraine!

Glory to the real Warriors of Ukraine!
