In February and March, the city, which is an important railway junction on the Mariupol-Donetsk and Mariupol-Zaporizhzhia lines, was the site of heavy fighting. The residents of Volnovakha, who in 2016 distinguished themselves by creating a chain of unity of more than two thousand citizens called “Donbas is Ukraine,” together with Ukrainian defenders, bravely resisted the enemy. However, during the two weeks of shelling, the city was almost completely destroyed, and local residents were forced to evacuate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn March 6, 2022, by the Decree of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the city was awarded the honorary title of “Hero City of Ukraine” to commemorate the feat, mass heroism and resilience of citizens who defended their cities during the repulsion of Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artistic card for the postal issue \"City of Heroes.
