The Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov awarded the servicemen of the 80th separate air assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with award pistols.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated on the official Telegram channel of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
In particular, soldier Denys Sokorchuk, senior soldier Artur Pashkevych, senior soldier Yevhen Lykho, junior sergeant Oleksandr Yehorov, and senior sergeant Mykhailo Varvarych received the award weapons.
Together with the military intelligence men, the paratroopers carried out a number of important operations at the frontline. They demonstrated high professionalism and courage, in particular, in the battles for Voznesensk, Antonivskyi Bridge, Chornobaivka. They were severely wounded in action.
"We are all honoured to receive awards from General Budanov. A good, reliable weapon is the best distinction for a soldier. We serve the Ukrainian people!" said the paratrooper.
Over the years of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Airborne Forces's soldiers have received many state awards. One of the paratroopers was unable to receive his award weapon in person as he was undergoing treatment after being wounded again.
In addition to continuing to serve and defend the country, the paratroopers also actively volunteer, organising charity fundraisings to support combat units.
You are the pride and strength of Ukraine. Each of you proves on the battlefield that Ukrainian paratroopers are always the first. This is also symbolic for me personally, as I graduated from the Airborne Troops Faculty of the Odesa Institute. Let's keep fighting!"
- Budanov said.
