In a conversation with the relatives of the servicemen, highly appreciating the heroes’ unwavering devotion to the defense of the homeland, I expressed my support to the families of the heroes.

There is no greater pain in nature than the loss of a child. The grief of your loss is for all of us and you will never be alone. Personally, both ex officio and as a person, I will always be by the side of the families of the heroes in any matter. Each of us must find the strength to live again, to live and act in a way that is worthy of the deeds of our heroes.

Eternal glory and humility to all of them.

PS Visits to the families of the fallen heroes of the region will be continuous.”
