Among the awardees were paratroopers and ground forces personnel.

"Thanks to these warriors, our northern front remains strong. Even six months into the Kursk offensive operation, Ukraine continues to maintain control over hundreds of square kilometers of the aggressor state's territory, while the enemy keeps suffering heavy losses in manpower and equipment," Syrskyi said.
