Before the war, we were all musicians, singers, artists, dancers, and just people.

We are all volunteers now.
We weave nets, cook food, collect from the world by thread,
something that we have never been able to collect.
For a week now, all Ukrainians have been living in a new reality.
The reality where explosions are heard every minute,
Every minute our cities are destroyed.
The reality is where people die every minute.

But, they can’t break us.
And we will not lose the strength or the will to win.
We are on our own land and we will not give it to anyone.

In our veins flows Cossack blood and strength of all generations,
all heroes who for centuries fought indestructibly for the independence of Ukraine.


Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the APU!
Glory to anyone who believes,
Everyone who unites and helps.
Everyone who stays and does everything in their power to accelerate victories.
And she’s already around.

Let’s hold on and break through, Ukraine!


До війни ми усі були музикантами, співаками, художниками, танцюристами, і просто людьми.

Зараз , ми усі волонтери. Ми плетемо сітки, варимо їжу, збираємо з світу по нитці, те що ніколи не вміли збирати .
Вже тиждень усі українці живуть у новій реальності.
Реальності, де кожну хвилину лунають вибухи,
кожну хвилину руйнуються наші міста.
Реальності, де кожну хвилину помирають люди.

Але. Їм нас не зламати.
І ми не втратимо ані сили, ані волі до перемоги.
Ми на своїй землі і ми нікому її не віддамо.

У наших жилах тече козацька кров та сила усіх поколінь, усіх героїв, які століттями незламно боролись за незалежність України.

Слава Україні! Слава ЗСУ!
Слава Кожному, хто вірить,
кожному, хто єднається та домомагає.
Кожному, хто залишається на своєму місці та робить все від себе залежне аби пришвидшити перемоги.
А вона вже поряд.
