Two years ago, on March 24, 2022, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signed a Decree awarding Mykolaiv with the «Hero City of Ukraine» award.

The mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych reminded about this.

He noted that the award was given for the heroism and valor shown by the residents during the siege.

«We call Mykolaiv the City of Heroes. The city of those who defended their families and the entire country. It is the city of those who built roadblocks, made Molotov cocktails, stood in line at military commissariats, rescued military and civilians, deployed humanitarian headquarters,» Oleksandr Sienkevych emphasized.

We will remind you that the musical travel show showed how Mykolaiv sounds.

As part of the project «How the world sounds...Ukraine», musician and composer Yevhen Filatov (The Maneken, Onuka) collects the sounds of Ukrainian cities and turns them into melodies. In the new edition, he used the sounds of everyday life in Mykolaiv: the noise of passing cars, the bells of trams, as well as unexpected moments when a trolleybus stops at a stop and a military band sounds.

Previously, the Ukrainian documentary project «Hashchi» visited Mykolaiv and filmed a film about how the city lives during the war.
