While Ukrainian servicemen, including members of the All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine, risk their lives daily defending the country on the front lines, in the very heart of Ukraine — Kyiv — attempts are being made to forcibly seize the Trade Union House. This is happening during a full-scale war, when the entire country should be united. Such actions in the rear demoralize, provoke outrage, and just anger among the defenders who protect freedom and independence.

A member of the All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine, Russian-Ukrainian war veteran Vladyslav “HROM” Shkolnyi, who has been defending our country since 2015 and put up a worthy resistance to the occupiers during the battles for Kyiv region in the spring of 2022, addressed the President of Ukraine in an official video message.

We continue to fight for justice and will not allow anyone to defile the names of Ukraine’s loyal sons and daughters!
