The leaders honored the memory of the Ukrainian defenders who died during the defense and liberation of Moschun in 2022.

"Today, we together honored the memory of our fallen soldiers who fought for the freedom of Ukraine, and thanked all the heroes thanks to whom we are in Ukrainian Kyiv, in our independent state. And it will always be so - we will definitely preserve the independence of Ukraine," the President of Ukraine said in a Telegram message.
The President's Office recalled that Moschun became one of the key defensive lines of Kyiv, where the heaviest fighting took place in mid-March 2022. The Russian occupiers intended to break through the village to the capital, using the Hostomel - Bucha - Irpin route. On March 21, 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine completely ousted Russian troops from Moschun.
