The CEO, Oleg Rud, also addressed the team with a heartfelt speech:  

"It is hard to comprehend and even harder to accept. They are no longer with us, but they will forever remain in our memory as Heroes who were not afraid to give the highest value— their lives. We are obligated to continue their work here, to work even harder. The company will support their families, helping those who have lost a father, husband, son, or brother.”

The speech concluded with a call from the CEO for colleagues to honor the fallen with a moment of silence.

Following that, the Head of the "Veteran Support Center for Combatants and Families of the Fallen" unit, Yevhenii Tymoshenko, addressed the gathering:

"The core of our Center consists of veterans, our employees who once worked here, went to defend Ukraine, and after returning to civilian life, are ready to help other veterans. Moreover, the company sets an example by showing that businesses must be socially responsible – either you are in the Armed Forces, or you are for the Armed Forces. The war has touched everyone, so it is crucial to remember, to reflect, to thank, and to help".

On this day, we not only remember those who gave their lives for Ukraine, but we also express our deep gratitude to those who continue to hold the line. They are carrying on the legacy of their fallen comrades, defending our land from the aggressor.

May the memory of the fallen heroes live forever in our hearts. Their deeds will never be forgotten. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!
