“The award is given erstwhile a year. All Polish embassies in the planet apply for this award. 1 application by the Minister is selected and awarded. This year the request of the Polish Embassy in Kiev was selected. I was the nominee. For me this is simply a very large distinction, which shows that behind us is the Polish State, which supports us, accepts us and is convinced of the legality of our actions. We work as combat medics. Media from Russia and pro-Russian channels are trying to dress us in the mercenary nature of our work. We're not mercenaries, we've never been mercenaries. We do our occupation free of charge. The fact that the Polish State stands behind us, only and only confirms it" - says Duda, head of the Foundation “In Time”, a field rescuer, Damian Duda.
