On Thursday, February 24, 2022, Russia began an act of genocide against Ukrainians, as a result of which the world saw the true face of the Russian world. We will never forgive the enemy for the bloody murders, atrocities, mockery, looting and destruction.
It was hard to imagine that our reality would acquire the plots of World War II... Night bombardments, Russian tank columns on our native roads, hostile artillery wiping streets, villages and towns from the face of the earth. Gostomel, Mariupol, Kherson, Kharkov, Irpen, Bucha, Akhtyrka... Hero-cities. People-heroes. We remember every victim in this war!
Wounded, tired, but unconquered. We have survived thanks to the strength of the people's spirit, the love of freedom and the unprecedented support of the civilized world. We see how our partners from all over the world support Ukraine in this struggle, which gives us additional motivation and strength.
This has been the most difficult year of my life and the lives of all Ukrainians. I am sure that victory is ahead, but we don't know how long we will have to wait and how many more victims there will be before it happens. That is the only thing that worries all of us Ukrainians right now.
Yes, times are very hard, it can't be compared with peaceful life. But there is life... As spring comes, so does victory. Because good always wins.
No one believes in us, but we survived!
