Today marks 35 years of an independent Ukraine 💙💛 even under fire, under missiles, under drone attacks, under partial occupation + widespread oppression, that glimmer of independence shines bright. It is in our blood, in our bones, this inherent push to keep going until we are fully free.
Today I send love to all my Ukrainian friends and family, especially those back in Ukraine who are living with the consequences of war on a daily basis. We miss you so deeply, and we live in hope for a day when we can be together again under a peaceful sky - sat in the town square with people we love, hearing music and church bells rather than sirens and blasts. That day will come, but I know the human cost for it will be even greater than what has been paid so far ❤️🩹
What can you do today? Keep Ukraine alive. Speak about it, ask about it, donate, spread the word, work towards stopping misinformation being spread. Send love to your Ukrainians. Honour the dead. Give the living hope. I truly believe we will win this war but we can only manage it with the help of friends.
Серця кров і любов, все тобі віддати в боротьбі,
За Україну, за її волю, за честь і славу, за народ!
З днем незалежності Україно 🇺🇦 слава Україні!
