Defender of Ukraine Day: Gratitude, Support and the Power of Unity
On Defender of Ukraine Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to all those who defend Ukraine.
Words are truly not enough to express our appreciation, respect, and the sincere hope with which we await your return. We dream of the day when we can embrace you under peaceful skies — without air-raid sirens, danger, or the need to carry weapons.
While you defend our country, our responsibility is to strengthen it from within: to support communities, foster mutual assistance, and contribute to the resilience and unity of Ukrainian society.
The Ukrainian Academy of Mediation is grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work, including through free initiatives designed for service members, veterans, and their families.
Mediation for Defenders and Their Families
Free mediation support is available to Ukrainian service members and their families, helping create more space for clarity, support, dialogue, and mutual understanding in situations marked by exhaustion, stress, and difficult experiences.
“Mediation: The Power of Change” Programme
The Ukrainian Academy of Mediation also provides veterans with an opportunity to train as professional mediators through the “Mediation: The Power of Change” programme.

Your experience, resilience, and strength in facing challenges are examples of courage and responsibility that inspire us.
Each of us can become a source of support. Please share these opportunities with service members, veterans, and their loved ones and support initiatives that make a meaningful difference. Together, we can build a community where people can rely on one another and feel supported and safe.
