At the same time, as Zelensky reported on the social network Facebook, he and Rutte visited the hospital where Ukrainian defenders are recovering from injuries. The President of Ukraine released a corresponding video.
“We talked with the soldiers. I awarded the defenders with state awards. I thank the guys for their strength, for their endurance, for protecting our people,” Zelensky added.
In addition, the president also honored combat medics with awards.
“They not only help our soldiers in the hospital every day, but also saved lives under shelling in the Kherson, Kharkiv, and Mykolaiv regions,” Zelenskyy added.
