Hall of Remembrance

The Hall of Remembrance is a memorial site in Kyiv that contains plaques, a ceremonial bell, and a formal square dedicated to military personnel who died defending Ukraine. Several thousand names are inscribed on its walls, with three books documenting the names of fallen soldiers, service members, and volunteers.

The memorial opened on October 14, 2018, as an initiative by President Petro Poroshenko to honor members of the Armed Forces who died from 1992 onward. Its establishment reflected the military conflicts that shaped Ukraine's defensive history.

The hall holds the names of those who fought and died for Ukraine, serving as a place where visitors come to pay respects and reflect on sacrifice. The books containing these names are open for anyone who wishes to honor the fallen.

The site is located within the Ministry of Defense complex and is accessible to visitors who wish to see the names of the fallen and attend commemorative ceremonies. Regular memorial events provide opportunities to honor those who have died.

Each year on August 29, names of 223 soldiers who died on that date across different years are read aloud during a special memorial ceremony. This tradition brings together losses from different times into a single day of remembrance.
