The President of Ukraine also expressed gratitude to all political leaders in the world, who timely provided assistance to Ukraine in the war with Russia.

A reminder that the Alley of Courage was opened on Constitution Square in Kyiv in the presence of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and President of Poland Andrzej Duda on August 23, 2022. The names of political leaders and the representatives of the partner countries, which have been providing assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion started, will be engraved there.
