It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
Today's parade in honor of the 25th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence was very touching and
a patriotic event. For the first time without any "equivocation" the aggressor was named, for the first time
not builders of general's dachas walked along the main street of the country, but Defenders of the Motherland, for the first time awards were received not by "parquet" military leaders, but by Great Warriors.

I think that many people watched the "Live" parade, so I will simply supplement the picture of the holiday with several of my video impressions:

Very sublime and pleasant sensations in the soul from the fact that your army protects you! It is difficult to convey the impressions from the moment when it was announced that a column of ATO veterans was marching along Khreshchatyk. The audience clapped, shouted "Glory to the Heroes", some even cried.
This photo conveys the general atmosphere of the holiday. Everything around turned into a sea of colors of the Ukrainian flag.

Returning from the parade, we attended the grand opening of the basketball court in Krukovschina. Since this kind of sport is the most beloved, we were gladly accepted that the Basketball Federation of Ukraine is holding here one of the stages of the national championship of the 3 * 3 format.

We enjoyed watching the battles of athletes on the basketball court
and even took pictures of some future champions. The photos below are clickable.
