Ukrainian troops to participate in Belgium's National Day parade for first time
Ukrainian soldiers will march in Brussels on July 21 for Belgium's National Day parade, marking the first such participation.
Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken announced that a Ukrainian unit will take part in the military parade in Brussels on July 21 to celebrate Belgium's National Day. Francken shared the news on social media platform X, expressing pride in the historic participation.
The same 23 Ukrainian troops who participated in France's National Day parade on July 14 will also march in Brussels. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended the French parade but will not be present in Brussels.
During the French parade on July 14, Ukrainian pilots flew Mirage fighters over Paris. This is part of broader international support for Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression.
