The War Museum held the opening of the exhibition project “OMEGA: ACROSS THE SKY, THE LAND, AND THE SEA,” created by the Museum team in cooperation with the Special Operations Center “Omega.”
The exhibition tells the story of the combat path and unique operations of those who carry out the most complex missions every day to defend Ukraine. Its aim is to introduce visitors to the work of Omega’s special operators.

The winners of internal sniper competitions held among the servicemembers of the Special Operations Center “Omega” were also recognized. The team of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War received a Certificate of Appreciation for fruitful cooperation and the implementation of the joint project.
The ceremony concluded with a performance by singer Okhtyrchanka, who performed a song dedicated to the Omega special operations unit.
