Lviv is a city that has always valued courage and selflessness. Therefore, it is not surprising that the city mayor Andriy Sadovyi decided to create a new honorary award 'Iron Lion' for those who spare no effort in defending the country.
The award is intended for all who contributed to this noble cause: military personnel, volunteers, volunteers, medical personnel, and rescuers. It is a symbol of bravery, strength of spirit, and love for Ukraine, as emphasized by the mayor himself.
«This is not just a sign. This is a symbol of bravery, strength of spirit, and love for one's land», - the mayor emphasized.
Each category will receive its own award with a unique symbol that reflects each group's contribution. The design of the award was created by Lviv resident Yevhen Raviskiy, who is a serviceman in the 103rd Territorial Defense Brigade.
The decision to establish the award was made at a session of the Lviv City Council, and the first awards will soon take place.
The bright initiative of the Lviv city mayor will allow to recognize and thank all those who do not stand aside from important matters for the country, especially on the front line of defense. The new award 'Iron Lion' will become a true symbol of courage and solidarity of Ukrainians.
