The war in the Balkans was the first baptism of fire of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They were in the war zone as part of a peacekeeping contingent and played a decisive role in the fate of the inhabitants of an entire city.
In 1995, Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, had been under siege for the fourth year. Serbs committed massacres of tens of thousands of civilians in Bosnian cities, in particular they executed eight thousand men in the town of Srebrenica.
Ukrainian peacekeepers at the last moment in July 1995 did not allow another tragedy to happen, saving the inhabitants of the Bosnian town of Žepa from genocide, as in happened in Srebrenica.
In our view, this historical fact has not yet been properly appreciated. Over the past years, this episode has been overgrown with a lot of subjective speculation, interpretations and even accusations against Ukrainians. Therefore, we decided to look into this topic and remember their heroic feat.
