On 29 August, we pause to honour the memory of Ukraine’s fallen defenders. We remember their names, voices and deeds, and the people to whom they will always be dearest. May the fallen be remembered with love and respect. Respect for their lives obliges us to preserve the truth about them and support their loved ones.
