Four years ago, the dawn of February 24th changed each of us and all of Ukraine forever. Over the course of 1,461 days of this great war, we have come to know the true price of freedom and life. Tens of thousands of fallen soldiers, thousands of civilians killed, millions of shattered lives, ruined cities… Mykolaiv has stood its ground. So did the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding. Despite the shelling, the anxiety, and the losses, we continue to teach, learn, work, support one another, and hold the educational front. Ukraine was, is, and will be. Strong. Free. Unbreakable. Glory to the heroes! Eternal memory and honor to those who remain forever in the ranks.
