Ukrainian soldiers in Sudzha joined the writing of the Radio Dictation of National Unity. On October 25, the text of Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko was read over the loudspeakers of radios and laptops in all areas where Ukraine's defenders are performing combat missions.

A photo from the Russian Sudzha was released by the press service of the "West" Operational Command. They said that the radio dictation was written by soldiers of the 44th separate artillery brigade named after Hetman Danylo Apostol.

"The radio dictation of national unity was also written in Sudzha!" the message reads.

The OC added that the soldiers of the Ternopil 44th Air Assault Brigade are teaching the enemy to love their native language with 155 caliber, and today "they were a little distracted by writing dictation."

"Cultural diplomacy as it should be! Glory to Ukraine!" the "West" Operational Command stated.

The 44th Brigade itself noted that Ternopil artillerymen have been writing the Radio Dictation of National Unity for the third year in a row in combat areas: at firing positions, near guns, combat vehicles, at command posts, and even in a hospital.

And every year it is special in its own way, the military say. The defenders did not forget to add an exclusive this year.

The sweet-sounding and melodious Ukrainian word, skillfully generated by Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko into a reverent text, resounded from the loudspeakers of radios and laptops in all the areas where artillery soldiers perform combat missions, and they "had a hard time writing it down on paper," the brigade said.

"It reminds me a bit of how holy water is used to drive out evil spirits, and how our soldiers, using the Ukrainian word, drive out Moscow's evil spirits. And, yes, no one will ever turn off or silence our Ukrainian voice again. Language matters, language is a weapon, the weapon of our Victory. Glory to Ukraine! Fire does not bake the fierce," the 44th Brigade said.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, denied the statement of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin about the alleged encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region. Syrskyi called it "outright disinformation that does not reflect the real situation."
