A Symbol of National Memory at Maidan Nezalezhnosti. The memorial on Maidan Nezalezhnosti has become a constantly growing, living testament to the price of freedom. This place of remembrance, visited by the loved ones of fallen and missing soldiers, is never empty. Thousands of small, individually signed flags have replaced the initial few dozen, vividly demonstrating the tragic scale of losses. The memorial has become a powerful national symbol: it unites the personal grief of every family into a collective national memory and serves as an unbreakable reminder of the courage of those who gave their lives for the independence of Ukraine.
