It is difficult to understand a people, to know what they feel, to apprehend their attachment to the nation in which they live or survive.
Ukrainians have been subjected to a Russian invasion since last February 24 and rarely has “
Slava Ukraini
” glory to Ukraine been chanted and heard so much in the country and around the world.
As a rallying cry to defend Ukraine body and soul.

Despite the permanent stress of bomb threats, despite the exodus of part of the population, the Ukrainians seem more united than ever in the face of the invader.
