“Women of the Third Millennium” was awarded in Kyiv.

This is an all-Ukrainian award marking the special contribution of women to the development of society. As always, the “partner” was the international charity fund of Alexander Petrovsky “Solidarity”.

The ceremony took place in a symbolic place, under the monumental sculpture of the Motherland. As the organizers say, the purpose of the event is to affirm and recognize the role of women in modern society. As Yana Ivanylova, vice president of the Alexander Petrovsky Charitable Foundation, says: “These are different women, they are different in terms of professions and characters, but they all have one goal and one desire, so that victory will come sooner rather than later.” Therefore, they are all very worthy of this award.”

Also, at the current ceremony, funds were “collected” for a house for a large family of the Serbyns from Svyatogorsk. Their house was destroyed by the Russians, after which the family was forced to go to the Dnipro on the last evacuation train. Iryna Serbina was also awarded with the iconic “Women of the 3 Millennium” sign.

Therefore, any measures that can take you out of a state of depression and bring you into balance are extremely important,” summed up Oksana Bylozyr, a participant in the ceremony and winner of the “Women of the 3 Millennium” award (2008).
