\u201cMany Canadians have volunteered to fight for Ukraine\u2019s freedom in the ranks of Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Legion. Several have heroically given their lives or been wounded. The Ukrainian Canadian Sacrifice Medal is our community\u2019s opportunity to honour their bravery and valour,\u201d stated Taras Jackiw, Chair of the Medal Committee and Treasurer of the UWVA. \u201cGenerations of Canadians have courageously defended freedom against tyranny \u2013 today, many do so valiantly in Ukraine, and we are forever grateful for their service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Established by a Resolution of the XXVII Triennial Congress of Ukrainian Canadians in Winnipeg in fall, 2022, the Ukrainian Canadian Sacrifice Medal will honour Canadian citizens who have been killed or wounded in action serving with Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces in defence of Ukraine\u2019s freedom against Russia\u2019s genocidal war.<\/p>\n
