Years of pain, death and loss of loved ones. But these are also years of incredible heroism and valor, the fight for life and freedom. Years of destruction and loss, betrayal and lies from those who were believed and trusted. But these are also three years of victories and liberation, loyalty and struggle for truth and goodness.
Years that showed the true face of many people. Where some sided with tyranny, terror and the aggressor. And others remained on the side of the people who did not attack anyone, but simply wanted to live peacefully on their land, fighting for their future and the security of Europe, for their land and their home, for their country, for their freedom, against Russian fascism and the plague.
War is the most insane and terrible thing that people will do. And only an absolute madman or a demon in the form of a man who has long lost any human qualities in himself can wish for war.
But the fight against evil teaches us a lot. War teaches you to appreciate and love more. War teaches us to distinguish good from evil. War shows the real faces of people. War brings out the worst in some people, but it also brings out the best in others: valor, honor, kindness.
On our part, an aggressive war should never be justified, where someone else's freedom is trampled, where someone else's lands and home are seized. Where innocent people are deprived of life. But a defensive war, where people defend their freedom, their home, their future, their children, is something completely different. And such a defense of life and freedom is the duty of the entire free world, if honor and dignity are not an empty place for it.
War is not a Hollywood action movie. It is death, pain, destruction. And when some in the world seek justification for this evil, they try to close their eyes to it or justify the aggressor. When there is no determination to fight this evil. It only breeds new wars and new evils.
You can have a lot of money, you can have political and social influence. You can promote your propaganda and buy everything and everyone. But you can never buy the truth, honor and dignity for money if you don't have it. And history will forever remember those who supported terror, invaders and murderers.
And history will forever remember who was on whose side.
And I don’t believe in the proverb “History is written by the winner”.
If this winner is on the side of evil, then he can distort this history for a while by writing his own propaganda and lies.
But sooner or later the truth will come out and fall into place. This is how it has always been and this is how it will always be. The truth will always sooner or later prevail over lies.
And this real story will be remembered forever. Just as those who stand on the side of evil, who committed thousands of war crimes, genocide, terror and murder, will be remembered. Just as she will remember those who stand on the side of good, the defense of freedom and life, on the side of truth and honor. And who retained his conscience and dignity.
All the darkness of the universe cannot extinguish even the smallest candle. Always remember this.
The world is not perfect. And this world will never be perfect.
But for now there are those who are ready to fight for goodness, freedom, love, truth and justice.
Mini nukes. In Vovchansk on October 1, the Russians first used the ODAB-9000 vacuum bomb.
Such bombs are considered the most powerful non-nuclear munition in the world.
16 yo Anya gives a tour of her favorite places in Kharkiv, places that no longer exist because Russia destroyed them. One more place she never wanted to know so well — metro, where she hides almost daily from Russian missiles.
This is all a nightmare, but what’s even worse is that in many cities, there’s nowhere to hide at all. Russia wipes them out completely, along with the people who live there. And this happens every day.
Borodyanka in April, 2022.
