Comment

The commemorative medal is dedicated to the heroic, proud, unconquered Kharkiv, which, from the first days of the full-scale invasion of the Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, has been subjected to mass terror: bombings, shelling, destruction of residential buildings, infrastructure, human losses in the city and the entire region, but resists the enemy. This is a city of heroes who proved to the whole world that they endured: babies are born under the echoes of explosions, educational processes take place, the economy of the city adapts to military conditions, and many entrepreneurs have changed their activities and put them on military rails, cultural figures, artists, poets, writers, activists - everyone is fighting on their own front. The lightning counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region fulfilled its strategic goal - it changed the course of the war and became one of the first significant successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the way to the complete restoration of the territorial integrity of our state.
