OCTOBER 1, 2024 DEFENDERS DAY

OCTOBER 1, 2024 DEFENDERS DAY

I wrote these words
to the people
who took the streets
and defended
Ukraine's freedom
back then during
the Revolution of Dignity.

There are heroes who
sacrifice themselves and fight for
everything we hold dear.

Yanukovych's escape
with a suitcase full of
stolen money
was also the starting shot
for the Russian invasion.

Anyone visiting Ukraine
should stop by
the Memorial Wall.

It is the wall of heroes,
the Heavenly Brigade
of defenders
who have paid the ultimate price
for Ukraine's freedom.
At 8 AM Danish time,
I will hold a minute of silence for
all the fallen.

It is also for you, the living,
sitting out in the trenches
waiting
for new Russian attacks.
You are the newest generation
of defenders of Ukraine's
existence.
But do read
the history—
there are so many of you
who have fought against
Russia's attempts to
wipe out Ukraine.

Honor to you all.
Slava Ukraini
Heroyam Slava
