Зеленський подав у раду закон про офіційне визнання хреста за заслуги

Today I signed and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a bill – in essence, a bill about respect for the servicemembers awarded the Cross of Military Merit. This is objectively a high award, but de jure, at present, the Cross of Military Merit is an honor that bears only symbolic value. We will ensure that this award brings real benefits for the warriors, and in the award hierarchy, the Cross of Military Merit will hold a place between the title of Hero of Ukraine and the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

As of today, 318 warriors have been awarded the Cross of Military Merit. Each of them deserves our gratitude. I ask the Verkhovna Rada to promptly prepare this bill for voting.

Glory to Ukraine!
