The truth is never pretty, but gut-wrenching,
anger of bullets, of terror, unending,
relentless, whizzing by, hitting ground,
dirt coming at them, the courageous,
those resolute against the fire,
The genocide of the Russian state…
 
We must not be complacent,
Neutral in our posture, our acts,
We are complicit in our inaction,
leaving them to the terror…
We must stand with the fighters,
all Defenders of Ukraine…
 
We must stand with the defenders,
We must give them military aid,
All those who fight evil,
Now, more than ever,
in the harrowing moments
When bullets fly…

“In just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than
800 Patriot missiles were used — more than Ukraine has
received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion,
President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a press briefing on March 5, 2026.”
