Day of the Defender. Everything came to an abrupt halt at 0900 this morning.
Z gave a speech at Kyiv Fortress, where police were out and about for hours beforehand. The president handed out a bunch of medals, some posthumously, including to members of the International Legion.

The entire ceremony lasted about a half hour.
