Creation of a Memorial for Fallen Soldiers in Odesa
In Odesa, efforts are underway to establish a Memorial honoring the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation in one of the city's cemeteries.
During a recent meeting with families of the fallen and veteran organizations, three gravestone designs were selected, each with two variations.
Samples of materials for their construction were also presented - granite and sandstone. A comprehensive discussion with the families of servicemen is ahead.
“The mayor's position is clear: the families of the fallen heroes have the decisive voice in this process - they will vote to determine which option best reflects their expectations and memories of their loved ones,” emphasized Odesa's Deputy Mayor Pavlo Vugelman.
In addition to the memorial topic, social issues concerning the support of families of the fallen were also raised at the meeting.
The agenda included the planned events for Defender's Day, which will be celebrated on October 1.
Among the planned activities are memorial ceremonies, meetings with veterans, educational initiatives, and cultural events aimed at uniting the community around memory, gratitude, and shared responsibility.
