This was emphasized by the deputy head of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Volodymyr Karpuk, at a literary and artistic evening marking the Day of Remembrance of the Heroes of Kruty, which took place on January 29 at the initiative of the Public Center of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization "Nasha Ukraina" in Lutsk.
Volodymyr Karpuk noted: the greatest weapon of the Student Battalion of the Sich Riflemen who died near Kruty was love for Ukraine. This was not an army; it was that offshoot of society that knew the future of the state's independence depended on them. Today Ukraine again looks with hope to the youth and needs their courage and determination. Kruty is not only a symbol of the courage and resilience of all generations of Ukrainians, but also a lesson for politicians. Only through joint efforts, despite ideological differences, can an independent Ukraine be built.
