Powerful Message from Ukrainian Journalist

1. I love how poignantly Ilya describes the path to glory Ukrainians are following. Paved in sacrifice for the love of their neighbours and culture.

2. We are no longer the punchline of imperial russian jokes. No longer “village bumpkins,” no longer “little brothers.” We have finally remembered who we are—descendants of the ancient Slavs, the Vikings, the Zaporizhian Cossacks. Our capital is not a provincial town but a sacred, ancient Christian city—the beating heart of this part of civilization. And its holy sites belong to us. No one else. We no longer feel ashamed of our language or our culture. No longer do we see them as “backward,” “provincial,” “second-rate,” as Moscow has insisted for centuries.
