The non-staff adviser to the mayor on veterans, families of fallen defenders and prisoners, Hennadiy Zadyrko<\/strong>, in his post on social media urged residents, businesses and municipal services of Mykolaiv<\/strong> not to ignore the daily nationwide minute of silence and to treat it not formally, reported \u201cMykVisti\u201d.<\/p>\n

The official published a copy of an instruction signed by the first deputy mayor Vitalii Lukov<\/strong> regarding the implementation of the requirements of the Law of Ukraine No. 4783-IX<\/strong><\/a> on honoring the memory of those who died as a result of Russian aggression, and also added a separate instruction with a list of measures dated 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

“Decisions on paper do not always work in real life: unfortunately, many enterprises and even ordinary townspeople still ignore this event,” \u2014 said Hennadiy Zadyrko.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He emphasized that the matter of honoring the memory of the dead cannot be reduced only to administrative orders and must rely on personal and public culture.<\/p>\n

\n

“This is too sensitive a topic to regulate exclusively with ‘top-down’ orders. Respect for the fallen is a matter of upbringing that concerns every Ukrainian, regardless of where they live: in a city or a small village,” \u2014 noted Hennadiy Zadyrko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The adviser stressed that local authorities must not only control the implementation of the decisions, but also set an example themselves and build interaction with businesses, market administrations and carriers for daily participation in the minute of silence.<\/p>\n

\n

“The authorities should not just control, but become an example and find tools for interaction with all structures. It is necessary to persuade market administrations, carriers and businesses to join the minute of remembrance. To give 60<\/strong> seconds of their everyday life to those who gave their whole lives for us. This is not a formality. It is necessary for us and our children \u2014 to remember the price of each of our mornings,” \u2014 is Hennadiy Zadyrko convinced.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the legislative level, the daily nationwide minute of silence for fallen defenders and deceased civilians was introduced after in February 2026<\/strong> the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed the relevant law, which was discussed in more detail earlier in a piece about the introduction of the minute of silence.<\/p>\n
