We will not obey, as we have obeyed for centuries, because each of us is dedicated to our work: we are brave, kind, compassionate, friendly, hardworking, ambitious, honest, purposeful, wise, loving…
We have support from friends, help from the world, shelter from those who care, inspiration from like-minded people, warmth from those closest to us; we have hope – we know that very soon, a peaceful and new Ukrainian present will come…
We will win! Yes, as only Ukrainians can – with their courage and kindness!
