The “Da Vinci Cross” is an honorary award established by the commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment to recognize Ukrainian citizens and foreigners for their demonstrated bravery during the Russian-Ukrainian war, their significant contributions to strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities at various levels, the militarization of society, and their dedicated service to the ideals of Victory.
The “Da Vinci Cross” signifies the recipient’s membership in the combatant (volunteer) community and the active ranks of Ukraine’s civil society “war hawks.” Possession of this honorary distinction underscores the individual’s commitment to the uncompromising struggle for Ukrainian values, territorial integrity, and the foundations of the nation-state.
