Zelensky recognizes several military brigades, border service units

The head of state said this in his nightly video address, Ukrinform reports.

"A few things are worth mentioning today. First of all, gratitude to all our warriors. To everyone who is now in positions, in combat, at combat posts, on combat missions along the entire front line – from Kuiansk to Krynky. To everyone who is recovering from wounds. And to everyone who trains to join the ranks of Ukraine's Defense and Security Forces. Today, I would like to especially recognize our border guards – the warriors from the units of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine, who are not only defending our state border, but also fighting alongside everyone else in various areas of the front," Zelensky said.

In particular, he noted the Steel Frontier Brigade, which protects the Kharkiv region on the Kupiansk axis.

"I would also like to mention the efficiency of Soldiers Artem Tsapliuk and Ihor Kamenetskyi, Junior Sergeants Yurii Popish and Yaroslav Sholom, and Lieutenant Colonel Valerii Havryliuk. Thank you, guys, for your skillful actions!" Zelensky said.

He also praised the warriors of the Luhansk Border Guard Detachment – the Revenge Brigade – who "are back on the front line, in the Lyman and Bakhmut directions."

"I am especially grateful to Soldier Yevhen Serdiuk for his courage and Senior Sergeant Kyrylo Chumachenko for his personal efficiency," Zelensky said.

He also thanked the soldiers of the Rapid Response Border Commandant's Service of the Zhytomyr Detachment who work in the Marinka sector.

"I thank all of you, our warriors, for your accuracy and destruction of Russian equipment. And I would like to especially recognize Junior Sergeant Pavlo Shevchuk and Sergeant Radion Blashko – well done, guys! Each personal result in this war is the result of the whole of Ukraine. Because it is the personal results that make up the resilience of our state, our joint state capabilities and the success of Ukrainian defense," Zelensky said.

Zelensky said the warriors of the 95th Separate Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces deserve special gratitude. In particular, it is worth mentioning Senior Soldier Yevhenii Kuchmenko and Soldiers Mykola Mantula and Vitalii Kurdin for their combat operations.

In addition, he thanked the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade – Soldiers Anatolii Vlasiuk and Mykola Chubyk – for their dedication and ability to become role models for others, as well as the 100th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade and, in particular, Senior Soldier Mykola Panasenko and Staff Sergeant Oleksandr Bereznyi.

"These guys are so brave, so conscious, so selfless that it is due to such warriors that the world keeps the faith in Ukraine, in our ability to finish this war in the way Ukraine needs," he said.
