Hero of Ukraine Honored by Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine Denounces Child Abductions

Volodymyr Zelensky praises the hero of Ukraine, one of the volunteers who has been fighting for the country since 2014, he was killed this week in a battle to defend the city of Bahmut, which is to be conquered by the Russian army.

An even more serious problem is brought to the attention of the whole world by Volodymyr Zelensky, he talks about the children kidnapped by the Russians and transferred to Russia during the war year that has passed, extremely many innocent children being taken from their parents and transferred to the territory Russian.

"Today, Dmytro Kotsiubaylo, "Da Vinci", Hero of Ukraine, volunteer, symbol man, brave man, was killed in action. A fighter of the 67th separate mechanized brigade, a battalion commander. He was killed in the battle near Bakhmut, in the battle for Ukraine.

Since 2014, he has been defending our independence and the dignity of our people. One of the youngest heroes of Ukraine. One of those whose personal history, character and courage became forever the history, character and courage of Ukraine.

For more than nine years, Ukrainian heroes have been fighting for the future of Ukraine in fierce battles for the country. Peace and relative safety in the hinterlands is their feat. Our confidence in Ukraine's victory is their resilience and strength.

Ukraine will always remember its heroes. Our memory of them will remain, and the enemy who came to Ukraine will perish.
67th Brigade, warriors, glory to your bravery! All Ukrainians fighting for Bakhmut, glory to your heroism!

I am grateful to all the warriors whose resistance and perseverance are destroying the army of the occupier in Donbas! Eternal memory to all those who gave their lives for Ukraine!

Russia's abduction, forced adoption and re-education of Ukrainian children have clear signs of a war crime and a crime against humanity. The enemy's efforts to plant its pro-Russian vision have become an instrument of genocide of the Ukrainian nation. And now his target is the most vulnerable – Ukrainian children.

These crimes must be prosecuted by law and all those involved must be brought to justice. Ukraine awaits the restoration of justice and is doing everything possible to return every Ukrainian child back home."
