Like any nation, modern Ukraine is not homogeneous in its identity or political attitudes , which can sometimes reflect regional origin, native language, and ethnic group. Along with the Ukrainian ethnic majority, the country is home to a variety of ethnic groups , including Bulgarians, Poles, Jews, Romanians, Russians, Hungarians, Moldovans, Belarusians, and Crimean Tatars.

Above all, hear our message: one that rang out loud and clear on Independence Day 2022, and will ring out until the last rf soldier leaves our territory. 'What will bring the end of the world?

The Ukrainian dissident movement embodied some of the people’s struggles. the speeches compiled expertly narrate the history, values, fight, voice, and identity of ukrainians and their nation. they are the most inspiring individuals i have ever come to know. every single ukrainian is going through the worst moments of their lives and, yet, i never heard a single person complain about their situation the entire time i was there. i went to ukraine thinking i would help out people who are in need. but, in reality, they were the ones who actually helped me by showing me what it truly means to fight for freedom and to never give up hope.i had the humbling opportunity to volunteer in ukraine for three months last summer, doing humanitarian aide and helping out the war effort. it was one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, experiences of my entire life. and this little book does a great job at describing so much of what i love about the ukrainian people. the courage of the ukrainain people has inspired the whole world. it has renewed humanitys hope... and they have shown that it is not force that wins, but truth. not money, but values. not oil, but people.’ But damn - I wish Ukraine wasn’t having to bear the burden of proving that. The longer this war goes on, the less safe any of “us” should feel. continuing my tradition of starting off the new year with some words of hope and perseverance (see previous years: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018).
