The National Bank of Ukraine introduced into circulation a new commemorative coin “State Emergency Service of Ukraine” courage, dedication and professionalism of Ukrainian rescuers.
“We embodied our gratitude and respect for Ukrainian rescuers in the new circulating commemorative coin ‘ State Emergency Service of Ukraine’. The incredible strength and deep, pure mercy that imbues the work of Ukrainian rescuers make them the best in their field. It is they who become the ‘bridge’ between life and trouble. At a time when fire, the elements and danger become ruthless enemies, they come out to meet them.
Often, when we hear another news about how the enemy has struck, the heart sinks, and then we receive a message that rescue services are on the ground – and hope returns to him again. The one who saves one life saves the whole world – this is pure truth. Thank you for every saved life and honestly completed task, – said the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Andrii
