Their protests are expanding,
their demands are escalating...
Hear the cries of your Future
to the leaders of Ukraine...
 
Like Maidan they saw in their youth,
Like their protests for NABU last year...
the cardboard signs they hold at 9:00 am...
Replaced with protest signs at 9:01 am...
 
Their protests are louder, strident,
while the Rada is empty
Their demands are escalating -
Their future is in the breach...
 
A 21st-century war...
demands a 21st-century leader...
Innovation will save them
for an enduring peace...
 
Their protest are for justice,
for reforms to the system...
The Soviet way of war
will not defeat the Russians...
 
Attrition will not prevail...
Asymmetric war is essential...
The battlefield is on the screens
of thousands of drone operators...
 
You must reinstate Minister Fedorov!
Now, President Zelenskyy!
Listen to your Future -
Protesting, crying in the street!

Fedorov is the face, the fulcrum
He is the catalyst, the innovator,
the critical change agent
forming a strategy for victory
away from attritional war...
 
Asymmetric warfare, innovation,
A rising drone army on sea, on the land,
and drones in their azure sky
relentlessly stalking the enemy,
beyond the front lines...
 
Taking the war to Russia,
on the Black and Azov Seas,
widening the no man’s land
giving time for allies
for sanctions to work...
 
Magyar’s Birds are flying beyond
the Urals, striking everywhere...
attacking Moscow’s means
of war, of funding, its economy...
Making Crimea a peninsula...
 
Six months is not enough
to implement radical transformation,
but the tide has been turned...
Ukraine is on the offensive
and Russia is on the back foot...

Stopping daily, the nation gathers,

Grabbing cardboard signs

For their fallen, for defenders,

Those still held by Russia...

Standing together at 9:00 am

For a Moment of Honor...

But gathering again

With new signs of protest

Over an unwise decision

In the heat of conflict,

Forced to choose sides,

A tragic choice...

Joining in protest,

The young, the veterans,

Chanting slogans, praying,

Singing the national anthem...

In the middle of war standing

For what they believe...

Yearning for that future

When they will be at peace

Seeing a victory in

Innovation over attrition,

The risk of meat assaults,

The loss of each human life...

We pray now for wisdom

For a change to the decision

For the cost of war to fall

On the aggressor, not the victim

For unity to rise once more

For the defeat of the enemy...

he protesters' determination has increased. President Zelenskyy needs to consider the protesters' ages...

The Future of Ukraine is crying for Minister Fedorov to retain his position.

Reinstate Minister Fedorov.

Keep innovating. Keep reforms going.

A 21st-century war demands a 21st-century leader.

Russia will be defeated by innovation and asymmetrical war, not more men in the grinder in the Soviet way of war...

They stand in pain, in protest,
continuing this tradition, their way...
more than a moment of honor, of silence,
a shadow on their lives
Their loss is so profound...
Hand-written signs, something tangible,
their prayers, their petitions,
They're honoring the dead...
They cry for each one held prisoner,
captives of Moskal’s horde...
 
Pain is palpable in these witnesses
these words about their loved ones...
Their faces paint their sorrow
signs they hold so tightly...
Their loss is so profound
shattering hope, their lives,
their pleas written boldly
imprinted words of power
held high to honor
all those they love...

hand-written signs – v2

https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2026/07/hand-written-signs-v2.html

signs for the Moment of Honor,

seen on Instagram and elsewhere

written by Ukrainians, for their loved ones

killed and held prisoners still...

&

Employing the same way of protest used

by Ukrainian peoples in the dismissal of 

Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov

and in the Maidan Revolution in 2013/2014

and in the NABU protests in 2025
