The "DreamTeam" association in Zaporizhia initiated a nationwide campaign to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the name #ВСЕєУКРАЇНА!#ВСЕєПЕРЕМОГА!#ВСЕєЗСУ. This week, it was joined by participants in Odesa. This campaign involves carrying a twelve-meter national flag, which has been traveling from various regions of Ukraine. On the flag, Boris Voloshenkov, the acting chairman of the Odesa Regional State Administration, placed his signature before it continues its journey to Kirovohrad Oblast. The participants in the campaign include members of the public council at the Odesa Regional State Administration, students, representatives of various communities, cadets from institutions in Odesa, and mothers of fallen heroes, Svitlana Kyrylova and Natalia Rudenko. They observed a minute of silence to honor those who lost their lives in the war and the victims of recent missile strikes on Ukraine.

Earlier in Poltava, a memorial plaque was unveiled in honor of Hero of Ukraine Vitaliy Grytsayenko.

Vitaliy Grytsayenko served in the special forces unit "Azov" as the deputy commander. He faced the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Mariupol, and his unit was involved in numerous engagements and enemy eliminations during battles. On February 27, his unit repelled four attempts to land enemy paratroopers. On March 1, the Azov fighters completely defeated an enemy column advancing towards Mariupol. During a battle on March 15, Vitaliy Grytsayenko personally destroyed two Russian armored vehicles called "Tigers." The hero tragically lost his life in combat on March 19 after eliminating about a platoon of occupiers, a tank, and two enemy armored personnel carriers. For his personal courage and heroism in defending Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, his loyalty to the military oath, and his actions in combat, Vitaliy Grytsayenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine with the Order of the Golden Star.
