For dignity, existence
Safety within their borders
the right to sovereignty
for all of Ukraine...
 
They were invaded, conquered,
subjugated as before,
but this time, they are standing up
on the front lines, in the streets...
 
They stand on remembrance,
remembering their fallen -
all who have suffered
against Russia’s genocide...
 
They are standing, united,
one resolute people -
They will prevail
when dignity is won...

“Хвилина памʼяті
згадувала братів за якими дуже сумую
кожен день 9:00 честь”
“A moment of remembrance
remembered the brothers I miss so much
every day 9:00 honor.”

“to remember the dead is to appreciate the living”
Quote by defender about Cheka Fest, June 1, 2025 in Lviv,

where 2,000 participants remembered fallen
combat medic Iryna "Cheka" Tsybukh, who died May 29, 2024,
days before her 26^th birthday on June 1, 2024.
