“Every nation and its country has a time of rise…”

* * *
Every nation and its country has a time of rise, growth and prosperity.
It is true that it is hard for us today, here at home in Ukraine, to believe it.
But it will certainly happen and much sooner than we can imagine.
The people together with our soldiers have already won this war.
They have withstood, they have not grumbled, they have shown incredible resilience and courage.
Folk isn’t just a hero, he’s an amazing romantic.
It is hard for a Westerner to understand this, especially to accept this incredible sacrifice and dedication, being in the horizontal plane of monotonous, monotonous living, when a new day is no different from the lived one.
Yes, we are different, we are different, and this is our strength, not our weakness.
