The monument was installed at the place where the heroes of the 24th separate mechanized brigade were perished. This day, the brigade’s command, local residents, volunteers and relatives of perished scouts come for the second year in a row to honor the memory of the Ukrainian defenders who laid down their lives for Motherland.
