The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, was awarded the Wilhelm Lochner Medal, the highest award of the Federal State of Germany. The award is also addressed to the entire Ukrainian people. This is reported by DW and Hessenschau. Prime Minister Boris Rein said that they decided to award Zelenskiy as a token of appreciation for "his tireless struggle for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, freedom, democracy and the integration of Ukraine into the political system and value system of the European Union." "At the same time, this award is addressed to the entire Ukrainian people, who under his leadership (of Zelensky, the editor) are defending not only the sovereignty of their country and the lives of its citizens, but also Europe and our European values for almost five years, after becoming a victim of a brutal Russian war of aggression, which is against the international prime minister's law." It is expected that Zelensky will be able to attend the award ceremony on December 1, 2026. And we are on Facebook, Instagram, X, Tik-Tok, YouTube.
