"It is felt in every movement, in every breath. Every day is a new challenge, a new struggle with fear, pain and loss. But even in the darkest moments, we remember why we keep going.

This is not just a war for land. This is a fight for our homes, for our families, for the right to live freely. The enemy wants to break us. But we do not fall. We hold on, because we know that the future of our children and our country lies with us.

War changes everyone. She tests, breaks, but also hardens. From pain comes strength. New life from losses. We learn to appreciate even the smallest ray of light, because we know that darkness is not eternal.

Every day is a step forward. And although our strength sometimes seems at the limit, we know: every minute of resistance brings us closer to the goal.

We are standing. Because while we stand, Ukraine is alive."
