Two years of the great, grueling war behind us, Russian fascism brought tragedy to almost every Ukrainian family.
For the sake of the memory of thousands of Heroes who gave their lives for our Freedom, for the sake of supporting our defenders - let's not stop helping the front even for a minute.
We have no other choice. No one will do it for us.
Yes, this is our destiny, the mission of Ukraine and Ukrainians - defeat Russian fascism, condemn and once and for all eradicate this criminal genocidal ideology, its bearers and executors.
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to heroes!
