On October 1, we honor all defenders who defended Ukraine in the past and are fighting for it now. It is thanks to their victories that we can study and work, rebuild and develop our country.
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute held celebrations to mark Defenders of Ukraine Day. As every year, KPI students laid flowers in their honor and bowed their heads in respect for their heroic deeds.
Our university community has paid a high price for the right to live freely in our country. More than 130 Kyiv Polytechnic students, including 19 undergraduates, have given their lives in this war. Seven of them were posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine.
We express our deepest gratitude to all Kyiv Polytechnic students who are currently defending our country!
May the memory of the fallen live forever!
Glory to Ukraine!
