After the russian invasion on 24 February 2022, fierce fighting broke out in Irpin, Hostomel, Bucha, and other towns and villages in the suburbs of Kyiv. With a view to encircling Kyiv, columns of armored vehicles and airborne troops of the russian army captured populated areas near the capital. There they destroyed a lot of housing and infrastructure and committed mass war crimes against the civilian population: looting, physical violence, and the kidnapping and killing of people, including children. On 2 April 2022, Kyiv oblast was liberated from the russian invaders thanks to the joint efforts, professionalism and heroism of all defense forces, and help provided by local residents. The liberation revealed the terrible truth about the horrific mass killings of civilians and the atrocities committed by the occupiers. These crimes shocked the global community so much that it launched an investigation of the war crimes and crimes against humanity caused by russia’s aggression against Ukraine.Obverse: above is Ukraine’s small coat of arms, to the right of which is the legend 2022/УКРАЇНА (2022/Ukraine); in the center, against a smooth background, is a stylized composition depicting maps of Kyiv oblast cities: Hostomel, Bucha and Irpin; together, the maps resemble a heart; above, to the right of the composition, is an enemy paratrooper with a perforated parachute; above the composition is the legendary Mriia plane; in the center, against a smooth backdrop, is a tear; beneath, to the left, is a stylized flower that symbolizes the revival of life.
