President Zelensky: "Odesa region. Our defenders. I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you for your service on behalf of all Ukrainians. You are real heroes. Our military medics. I presented you with state awards. For putting seriously wounded heroic people back on their feet. And you are our heroes too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your golden hands, endurance and your honorable profession."
