Three years of full-scale war. Eleven years of resistance to Russian aggression.
How did it change us?
👉 We realized even more the value of our right to be Ukrainians. We felt what it means to have our own state - free, independent, unconquered.
Yes, we continue to fight for every piece of our native land, but with gratitude in our hearts to God, our heroes and the Defense Forces. Because despite 11 years of war, we exist. We are Ukraine.
💪🏻 Over the years, we have become stronger. We learned what resilience is not from books or the Internet, but from our own experience.
Pain and loss are our reality. But in the midst of it all, we learned to trust God even more and put our hope in Him (1 Samuel 30:6).
🫴 We became closer to each other. We have learned not only to sympathize, but also to act - to support, help, and be a response to other people's needs.
🙏 Today, on the Day of Prayer for Ukraine, we turn to the Lord with a request: Keep our soldiers safe. Give peace to our land. Give strength to those who fight for our future every day. Amen.
