Ukraine Turns 35: Still Standing and Still Not Asking for Permission
Another year, another anniversary, and yet the only thing Russia managed to do is make us even more impossible to break.
So, Ukraine just hit the 35-year independence milestone. It’s been 1,643 days of full-scale war, but if you listen to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the vibe isn't exactly 'celebratory party'—it's more 'we are a fighter, not a victim.' The whole Kremlin strategy of waiting for us to just roll over and give away Donbas has officially turned into a meme because it's never happening.
The big takeaway? Zelenskyy is calling out the West to actually act like the West, and he’s even telling China it’s time to stop sitting on the fence while dictators threaten the planet with nukes. Meanwhile, our military leadership, like Mykhailo Drapatyi, is keeping it real: the price of our independence is incredibly high, but the decision to be free is one we aren't outsourcing to anyone else.
Russia might think it can keep throwing bodies into the meat grinder, but they completely forgot that the real resource here is the people. And those people aren't just holding the line—they're hitting back.
Sometimes the most effective way to celebrate is by proving your enemy’s entire worldview is wrong.
