Some of us can't stop. Believe me, even when I try to take a day off, some new outrage draws me back. We can't comply, we can't capitulate, we can't turn away. Personally, my God won't allow me to accept such blatant inhumanity without a whimper. It's a duty to bear witness. Slava Ukraini ๐บ๐ฆ ๐๐๐
It is very hard work keeping a resistance alive. People get tired and just fall into line eventuallyโฆ as you say, thatโs what they count on.
But this is different. America and much of the free world faces the total loss of not only freedom, but often life itself.
I have said many times that Ukraine๐บ๐ฆ doesnโt have the luxury of surrender or apathy. Putin is glorifying Stalin, a man who a generation ago murdered millions of Ukrainians.
The world has allowed genocide in Gaza and this has emboldened the evil, power-hungry authoritarian leaders of the world to add that to their bag of tools.
We canโt allow battle fatigue to cause surrender! Not in Ukraine, not in America, Canada, EUโฆ. Not anywhere because letting evil go unchecked will make this world hell.
The fascist war criminals win when those who can fight against them become apathetic. You are doing more than your part to keep that from happening, Viktor.
Viktor your words are always so on point and help us to remember to never give up of kneel. Our country has survived 250 years and the people who fought before us knew we would always have to fight to keep democracy. We love you and Ukraine and I thank you again for sharing your great writing with us!Slava Ukraine ๐๐๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ๐ป
Feeling very exhausted & just disgusted by the inhumanity of it all. It feels like the insanity is everywhere & no one or nothing can or will stop it. Needed to hear your words today. And every day. ๐๐๐บ๐ฆ๐๏ธ
Rest, Margaret. You're allowed to rest, recharge, and try again another day. Every action you take is resistance, big or small. It all counts. Sending love from ๐จ๐ฆ โค๏ธ
Rest Lina, you're allowed to recharge. Try again tomorrow. Rest again. Try again the next day. Every action you take, is an act of resistance. Even the rests in between, as you ready yourself for the next action, are acts of resistance. Sending love from ๐จ๐ฆ โค๏ธ
I read about your country every morning through Ukranian-based writers like you. I will not forgive or forget what is happening to beautiful Ukraine every day of this war. You have every reason to be exhausted in every way. ๐ซ my friend. One day, Russia will be defeated.
Viktor, you are so correct. The evil forces play on tiring us in the Resistance. Your words are so important to keep us awake, shocked, angry, empathetic, supportive and present.
Viktor, this is so beautiful. It really gripped me and expressed the multi-layered never ending emotions. Only one difference. It is hitting harder each day, and hurts deeper the more powerless I feel. It all is so crazy far out of any sane universe that felt safe, more secure, and definitely not like the world spinning off of its axis at times. Yet, your country is the one being so mercilessly bombed every night. And, you are inspiring and helping me. Thank you once again๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
Tomorrow, July 17, we rally once again, make our voices heard once again, and remember that getting tired is okay, but stopping is not. Let's get out there and make some good trouble. Slava Ukraini and slava democracy! (And remember to donate to United24:
Viktor we will never stop caring about Ukraine or you and all you have done for your country and itโs tired but courageous people. As someone said in a previous post, it is very hard to keep resistance alive but keeping it alive and marching forward we must. You are not alone Viktor we stand with you every day. Eva๐ธ
Thank you, Viktor. They want us to be tired, and they also donโt want us to share our feelings of fatigue with each other, because every act of taking our inner truth seriously and sharing that truth with others is an act of defiance. Ultimately they want us to fall into numbness and isolation and hopelessness. But your words always make me feel connected and give me hope. Slava Ukraini!๐บ๐ฆ

Thank you. Your words resonate with me and bring comfort.
Dear Viktor;
You do inspire me.
Today I am tired.
I will push through this.
Always,
