President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel visited Moshchun, Kyiv region, on the anniversary of the village’s liberation from Russian occupation.
The leaders honored the memory of Ukrainian defenders who died during the defense and liberation of Moshchun in 2022.
The two presidents visited the “Angels of Victory” memorial, located on the site where decisive battles for Moshchun took place.
Moshchun became one of the key defense lines of Kyiv, where some of the fiercest fighting occurred in mid-March 2022. Russian invaders aimed to break through the village to reach the capital, using the Hostomel – Bucha – Irpin corridor. On March 21, 2022, Ukrainian Armed Forces completely drove Russian troops out of Moshchun.
