A nation that did not cry, scream, or take fright. One that did not flee, did not give up and did not forget. What for us is the end of the war, we used to say peace now we say victory, we won't look for a mutual understanding where the terrorist, even though we understand the Russian language you came to defend while killing thousands of people, you came to liberate. We are much closer to an understanding of Johnson who speaks English than of killers, rapists and looters who speak Russian. We won't sit at the negotiating table, forced through fear with a gun to our head, to us Ukraine means the whole of Ukraine all 25 region without any concessions or compromises. We don't know these words, they were destroyed by missiles on February 24th, Donbass is Ukraine, and we will get it back no matter how hard this path will be, Crimea is Ukraine and we will get it back no matter how hard this path will be. If you don't want your soldiers to die, get out of our lands, if you don't want your mother's to cry, liberate our lands. These are clear and simple terms. Happy Independence Day Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine
