 One of the worst pages in human history, World War II, ended 75 years ago.  Unfortunately, the Ukrainian lands have become the site of many battles, and we have lost too many lives. 

 Victory over Nazism cost Ukraine dearly, as World War II was a personal tragedy, probably for every Ukrainian family. The war taught us an invaluable lesson and taught us that human life is truly the most precious thing we have. But when "war", "front" and "shelling" became commonplace for Ukrainians again today, it seems that not everyone has learned this lesson.

 However, World War II ended with the victory of justice and democracy, and it gives us strength and confidence. We are selflessly fighting for freedom, as our grandparents fought 75 years ago. So we will win!

 Boundless gratitude to the veterans of the Second World War and blessed memory to all those who were taken away by this war.
