Today marks the 36th anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. This is a day of remembrance, courage and respect for those who honorably fulfilled their military duty. By good tradition, we gathered in the park of international soldiers, met with veterans, and honored the memory of our soldiers who remained young forever.

The Afghan war has left a deep mark on the lives of thousands of people. Many soldiers did not return home, and today we bow our heads in memory of them. We honor their feat and express our gratitude to those who returned after overcoming all the trials.

May this day remind us of the price of peace and the need to preserve stability and tranquility. Eternal memory to the fallen, honor and glory to the veterans!
