The Cross of Combat Merit was established by the
President of Ukraine on 5 May 2022 to recognise servicemen of the Armed Forces
of Ukraine and other military formations formed in accordance with the laws of
Ukraine for: outstanding personal bravery and courage or an outstanding heroic
act during a combat mission in conditions of danger to life and direct contact
with the enemy; outstanding success in commanding troops (forces) during
military (combat) operations. The highest military award of the UPA and UGVR,
the Cross of Military Merit, designed by the famous Ukrainian artist Nil
Khasevych, was used as a model for the award. The President of Ukraine's
"Cross of Military Merit" insignia is made of silver with gilding and
looks like a straight equilateral cross with the Badge of the Princely State of
Volodymyr the Great in the centre. Among the first to be awarded the military decoration were General
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Captain Vladyslav Kalievskyi, Sergeant Dariia Mazurenko,
Lieutenant General Yevhen Moysiuk, and Colonel Oleksandr Okhrimenko.
