The night of 24 February was one of the darkest nights in the modern history of Ukraine. We are a nation of over forty-four million people, who have seen many horrors in the past century. Now, after thirty years of independence from the shackles of communism, evil has returned.
It takes the form of inhumane and perverse attacks by Russian military forces: attacks on innocent human lives. Unprotected and vulnerable families with their children, the sick in our hospitals, kindergartens, civilians; all are targets. Kyiv, the cradle of the Slavic world and its civilization, is surrounded by rockets and exploding shells.
