Now many patriots of our state are at war  in the anti-terrorist operation zone, protecting the freedom, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. In order to instill in students patriotism, respect for the Motherland, pride in our defenders, on December 5, 2018, a meeting with a representative of a public organization took place at the Kramatorsk Technological College.  "Union of veterans of anti-terrorist operation of Donbass" by Roman Balaboyko. The meeting was dedicated to the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

    During the meeting, the ATO participant shared his memories with students, shared some of his energy, courage and optimism and showed by his example that not only words can love one's homeland, but also deeds to prove it.  His emotional story was imbued with love for Ukraine, the desire of the Ukrainian military to defend every handful of homeland.

    For a long time, students did not release the fighter, asked questions of both personal and national importance. No one was indifferent.

   Such meetings are extremely important, because they support our spirit, sense of patriotism and faith in the future.
