"The warriors of the 45th separate rifle battalion are absolutely heroic. It was an honor for me to visit the defenders in Ivano-Frankivsk who are undergoing treatment there and talk to them. It was an honor to receive a chevron and add it to the chevron board in my office," Zelensky said.

He noted that the battalion had taken part in battles in the north and east of Ukraine.

"The repulsed enemy attacks and retained positions are a feat, lives saved, Ukraine saved. I am proud of you, warriors! And thank you!" Zelensky said.
