"Every time I walk by the Heavenly Hundred Memorial or the Wall of Remembrance, I get a stark reminder of the ultimate price Ukrainians pay for their freedom. Every single life lost, whether on Maidan or the front lines of the war today, is precious. Today and every day, we remember them,"

said Katarína Mathernová, EU Ambassador to Ukraine.
