We Simply Take Naps— Stories from Ukraine

We would like to utilise the platform that #EYP has to share and amplify the voices of those directly impacted by the Russian-Ukrainian war. We thank Anna Lachykhina for sharing her story with us. #YoungEurope

It’s been exactly 1 month of Ukraine’s heroic resistance and fight for its freedom against Russia’s criminal bloodthirsty war. Do I feel it’s been 30 days? No. For every Ukrainian it’s been one long day. We woke up at 5:30 am on Feb 24 and we have’t had a night sleep to wake up in Feb 25 — we simply take naps. Unless we hear Ukraine won, Putin and the war is over, we do not wake up to the new day after a night sleep.

Needless to say how much everyone of us does to bring the victory closer! A huge thank you goes to all my old and new friends in Europe, the US, Canada! Together we cover humanitarian, international media, diplomatic, visual communications tracks. And this is only on my front! There are millions like myself around the globe! This is an incredible unity and solidarity the world needed all these past years. Too bad we realised the need after the peace broke. Let me pay tribute to each and everyone who is involved in those different tracks together with me and Макс Джигун in separate posts. I would love you to meet those behind the scenes.
