I think we're winning the war because we're demonstrating our full value. The country is fighting for European values, for a European direction. For this, the European Union and other countries are on our side and we feel that support. We fight for far higher, much more important values, which go beyond politics. We will fight for our land.

We're just asking for funds, because Ukraine is starting to lack food, medical equipment, medicines, all of it. We need to make moral support. We need more protests, more people talking about it, and about humanity”, Ukrainian legend ended.
