“Over two thousand of our employees are fighting the enemy at the front,” said Director General Yurii Bolokhovets.

“Many of them have received the highest state honours.

Today we warmly congratulate our forest master from the Drohobytske Forestry Management Unit of SFE “Forests of Ukraine,” Dmytro Khomin, on being awarded the “Golden Cross” distinction.”

Dmytro is one of those who, on the very first day of the full-scale invasion, voluntarily took up arms to defend Ukraine. He is currently carrying out combat missions with the 80th Air Assault Brigade.

He stopped the enemy in the Mykolaiv Region, took part in the counteroffensive in the Kherson Region, participated in the defense of Kreminna, in the operation in the Kursk Region, and in the defense of the Sumy Region.

On more than ten occasions, together with the Union Of Forestry Warriors Of Ukraine, they have sent Dmytro aid—radio stations, Starlink terminals, generators, charging stations, thermal imagers, quadcopters, an off-road vehicle, and other equipment.

This is not his first award. Last year, for the successful execution of combat missions and the preservation of his unit in challenging situations, Dmytro was honored with the “Cross of the Brave” distinction.

“We are incredibly proud!” said Yurii Bolokhovets.
