In Odesa, efforts are ongoing to establish a memorial dedicated to fallen soldiers at one of the city’s cemeteries.
During a recent meeting with the families of fallen heroes and veteran organizations, three types of gravestones were selected, each presented in two variations.
Samples of materials for their construction, such as granite and sandstone, were also showcased. A broad discussion with the families of the servicemen is ahead.
“The mayor’s position is clear: the families of the fallen heroes have a crucial role in this process - they will vote to determine which option best reflects their expectations and the memory of their loved ones,” emphasized Odesa's Deputy Mayor Pavlo Vugelman.
In addition to memorial topics, social issues concerning support for the families of the fallen were also raised during the meeting.
The agenda for the Defender's Day celebrations on October 1 was also discussed.
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.
