(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Zelensky reported this on Telegram , according to Ukrinform.

“Today, we thank all the soldiers, sergeants, and officers of Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces for their service and dedication to Ukraine – all those who have really proven themselves in defending our state, our independence, our people and communities,” Zelensky said.

“On Territorial Defense Day, it is my honor to present state awards to our warriors of the Territorial Defense units and to express my gratitude. Thank you for fighting for Ukraine, holding your positions, standing by your brothers-in-arms, and delivering real results in battle – this matters greatly,” Zelensky emphasized.
