We stand strong, because we have something worth fighting for

After the darkest night, dawn always comes. And while we are under the protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we must stand by one another and never lose faith.

No matter how loudly the enemy speaks of its so-called “desire for peace,” we were once again reminded of its true intentions last night. With heavy hearts, we read about new losses. We sincerely grieve with those whose lives have been shattered by tragedy.

We know, friends, that we must remain strong. Behind us lies a long, incredibly difficult path filled with pain and loss. And every day, so many brave and determined people make extraordinary sacrifices so that we can live, work, embrace our loved ones, and find the strength to keep moving forward.

So let us be a source of support for one another. Let us stand by our defenders. And let us hold on — no matter what.
