During these 6 months, the whole world learned who Ukrainians are. But in reality, our struggle lasts longer. Watch the whole truth about how long we have been fighting for our independence in a new video of
Kharkiv, the second-most-populous city in Ukraine and the gateway to the country’s east, has been under continuous attack for nearly three months. By the end of February, it was very nearly flanked on three sides as tanks, aircraft and artillery fired on the city. On March 1, Freedom Square, in the city’s historic center, was bombed. Tens of thousands of Kharkivites fled. Those who didn’t — or couldn’t — watched their city burn. But Ukrainian forces retaliated with a ferocity that Moscow hadn’t anticipated, and in the first weeks of March, they halted the Russian advance. In mid-March, the Russians had ceased trying to penetrate metropolitan Kharkiv.There was no longer a battle for the city. This was now a siege.
We are fighting for our children freedom, and therefore we will win. We will never forget what our ancestors did in the World War II, which killed more than eight million Ukrainians. Very soon there will be two Victory Days in Ukraine. And someone won't have any.
We won then. We will win now. And Khreshchatyk will see the victory parade – the Victory of Ukraine!
