Today is the 44th day of WAR in Ukraine.
Children in Odesa sell their toys to buy body armor for Ukrainian soldiers.
Just think of it.
Children sell their toys to buy body armor.
How does it sound for you?
This war has changed our country forever.
It made us appreciate the things that were so basic, so natural and so obvious but appeared to be so fragile and so easy to lose.
The war made us appreciate the sky without Russian planes and bombs.
The water, electricity and heat in our homes. Our homes…
The ability just to walk in the streets of your city.
The meetings with our friends.
The hugs of our beloved.
The night without sirens.
The smiles.
We have lost a lot.
This war made us feel the sense of our lives stronger than ever before.
We are suffering inhuman cruelty, but we see countless examples of sincere compassion and selfless help.
We faced the enemy, but we found who our real friends are.
We lost our homes, but we gained the confidence we will rebuild them.
We live in a nightmare but we feel ourselves the strong nation that will pass it.
We have lost hundreds of schools but that will not stop us from teaching our children what it means to be free people.
We see our children giving example to adults what it means to be citizens.
We are spread all over the country and beyond but we are united in our help to our soldiers.
We have lost our theaters, libraries and museums but now we honor our language and culture like never before.
This is our Great Patriotic War. This is our War of Independence.
We will never be the same country as we were before 24th of February.
But when I look on our children, I’m proud of them.
I’m confident they will live in a great country we will build after the war.
We are the nation. We are Ukrainians!
