Awarded for participation in the liberation of Ukraine from the fascists or the defence of the state's interests and security.
Is it an award for veterans of the GPW only or does the last amendment also include later efforts? I got it mounted to a uniform which is post-Soviet Ukraine era and it seems strange.
