Among the key topics covered by the exhibition were the first days of the invasion, when the country became united to repel the aggressor; new units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, without which the army is no longer imaginable; the development of tactical medicine that saves lives and gives hope; aerial reconnaissance and the use of UAVs to ensure that the aggressor does not feel safe at any time; international cooperation and weapons of victory from our partners; military assistance to civilians in our country, because humanity is our strength and inspiration; national symbols of invincibility and struggle.

Every day, the country is protected by people who have made the choice to put on a uniform and fight for freedom. Every minute, the Armed Forces of Ukraine steadfastly guard the national interests of the country and protect our highest value - Independence.
