Comment

This medal celebrates the heroic deeds and resilience of the residents of the city of ships, Mykolaiv, which became a stronghold blocking the path of the russian invaders in southern Ukraine. From the first days of the full-scale invasion, russian troops tried to capture Mykolaiv. After several unsuccessful assaults, encirclement attempts and attempts to take control of Mykolaiv Airport and Kulbakyne Aerodrome, the invaders began to bombard and shell the city, shattering people’s lives and damaging the city – many buildings were not only damaged, but completely destroyed. By joining efforts and supporting each other, the residents are holding out, defending and restoring their city. In these difficult times, they are also protecting the city’s living landmark – Mykolaiv Zoo.
