Today is the 27th day of WAR in Ukraine.
Yesterday we had first blood among protesting citizens in Kherson. The city is occupied by Russian troops but all these days Ukrainian citizens have been protesting on the central square with Ukrainian flags and stripes in their hands.
They have been protesting despite Russian soldiers shooting in the air in front of them.
Yesterday Russian soldiers besides shooting in the air threw stun grenades into the crowd. As a result one Ukrainian protester was wounded. First blood…
Kherson is a very important outpost of Russian forces in the south-western direction. So far, thanks to active pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian protests in the city, Russian occupation contingent could not feel themselves safe enough there. They didn’t manage to announce any puppet republic and have not succeed in hypnotizing our people.
Kherson resists and remains a Ukrainian territory despite Russian soldiers controlling the city.
I want to pay a tribute to all the volunteers who have supported and keep on supporting Ukrainian soldiers.
Back in 2014 Ukrainian army was week and disorganized, not prepared at all for the battle with Russian forces.
To large extent, Ukraine survived thanks to volunteer movement on a national scale.
Ordinary citizens have become the powerful machine involved in finding necessary equipment and clothes, purchase and supplies from producers to the frontline, making donations and helping to dress and equip the soldiers from own villages, towns and cities going to war.
All these connections after 2015 didn’t disappear but just were suspended.
Now we have strong, organized and motivated army, equipped with modern weapons.
And now again the whole country is volunteering and donating.
Somebody gives his car to civil forces units; another person is arranging transportation to the frontline on his own.
Some people cooperate to buy a single drone, or just one helmet or a body armor. Some people scale it up, industrialize and arrange supplies amounting thousands of units.
Helmets and body armor, optical sights and heat sights, walkie-talkie and power generators, pick-ups and armored ambulances, medical kits and camouflage, drones and footwear…
We donate and contribute to bring closer the end of this war.
We support our soldiers in every possible way.
We purchase, transport and deliver.
We will win.
We are the nation. We are Ukrainians!
