Well said. Most Americans stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦. As far as I am concerned the rest of them can get on a spaceship and go colonize Mars and never return.
This was WONDERFUL, Viktor; and of course you are completely right. I would add the amazing truth - again incomprehensible to the trumps of this world - that people are actually very much happier when their life is less full of “stuff”, but more full of meaning… when they know that they can find the strength within themselves to achieve things that might seem to the lay outsider to be impossible.
You have much to teach us that we have forgotten in much of the Global North, and the world will be a better place when we learn it again. Thank you, all of you, but especially you dear Viktor. What you tell us is very inspiring, and will strengthen our resolve… certainly here in the west of Europe, but I hope in the US as well, as they learn they must actively fight…
Such a well written and passionate piece Viktor, you can tell it comes from the heart. Having worked for a Ukrainian company I know what you have said to be so true and will always stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
I am reading here in the US that Zelensky wants to "make it right." He has done absolutely nothing wrong. He should NOT deal with Trump. I don't understand why he wants to deal with the US, at this point, we are completely corrupt.
He understands that keeping Trump’s attention on the possibility of reaching a “deal” can give Ukraine time to put in place a fairer trade with Europe or other nations and screw both Trump and Putin.
A powerful truth! As a non-MAGA here in America I remain baffled how anyone could have voted for this evil, corrupt felon. We are protesting his betrayal of Ukraine in the streets and town halls. I call my congressmen everyday demanding his impeachment. The American people are with you. We see his agenda is to destroy democracy and rule as a dictator. To quote one of our patriots, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Stay strong, dear Viktor. 💕
Dear Viktor, thank you. I hope the majority of Europeans turn out to have a Ukranian soul. Be safe and thank you for sharing your stories. A hug from the Netherlands,
You’re so right. Those that are truly rich are those that know that money and material possessions are not the route to happiness. Having family and friends that you love and who love you is what makes us happy. Being kind and paying that forward brings joy. Money? Pah!!
Trump wants to steal Ukraine’s resources and then hand Ukraine over to Putin. There is no deal Zelensky can hope to make, because Trump has no honor. That’s something which is difficult for an honorable man like Zelensky to realize.
Most Americans are appalled at Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine, and of his betrayal of democracy in the US.
Actually, Trump could not build his empire, but for the money the Russians and Putin's crminal bosses pumped into his businesses. They own Trump. Keep up the good fight, Victor. Help is coming.
Victor you need to make sure that Zelenskyy does not enter into any deal with the devil Trump. He will screw him and he has made this very clear in multiple ways with multiple other people.
People can badmouth Zelensky as much as they want. We see again and again that he does what is necessary for the people of Ukraine. I wish we could say the same about our president. Slava Ukraini.

If only they would, I'd volunteer to help load the ship (with headphones on, of course)!
Mars is too close for comfort.
Next solar system, maybe?
Send Musk to Mars

As Kurt Vonnegut related from a personal conversation with a friend on a millionaire's private island, "I have something he'll never have. Enough."
As long as individual Americans can donate funds to your country, there is hope that your people can continue to resist.
I just posted this on Facebook.
WE MUST NOT ABANDON THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE TO BE MURDERED BY PUTIN
This morning, I received this emotionally intense substack article from Viktor Kravchuk.
He is one of the key people I depend on to understand the lived experience of our Ukrainian sisters and brothers – to understand how they FEEL.
I cried a lot while feeling Viktor’s words.
Yesterday, Trump cut off all American taxpayer aid to these brave people defending OUR freedom and democracy.
We are all people.
I love the people of Ukraine.
We abandoned the people of Eastern Europe in our past more than once.
Millions were then killed by Nazis and Communists.
We must deeply feel the two words:
NEVER AGAIN
Blessings for Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏💔

He will do absolutely anything for his people, that's why he posted that comment.
He definitely will. I am just concerned Trump will screw them over.
He understands that keeping Trump’s attention on the possibility of reaching a “deal” can give Ukraine time to put in place a fairer trade with Europe or other nations and screw both Trump and Putin.
Hmm, I hope so. Zelensky really is very intelligent and Trump is too dumb to be awake, so...
Because he is the bigger man.
Most definitely.
