In Dnipro, the annual charity run “I Honor Warriors, I Run for the Heroes of Ukraine” took place. The event was once again supported by the rector of DSUIA, members of the rectorate, officers, students of the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, and cadets from the Dnipro Lyceum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The event was organized by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine to commemorate the Day of Remembrance of Defenders who died in the struggle for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Participants ran one of the chosen distances – 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km.
This year, the run was national in scope: it started simultaneously at 9:30 AM in the capital and in each region. Over 70 representatives from DSUIA and the Dnipro Security and National-Patriotic Education Lyceum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led by DSUIA Rector Oleksandr Morgunov, joined the event.
Each cadet wore a sticker with the name of a fallen Hero on their shirt. In this way, the participants honored the soldiers who gave their lives for Ukraine, expressed their support, and showed gratitude to their families.
Veterans also joined the run in Dnipro this year to honor the memory of their fallen comrades.
