Q: Anything else you would like to share?
A: As far as you know my country is fighting a pure evil that wants to swallow the whole nation with our own traditions, language and centuries old history. Remember: if we fail – the whole democratic world will fail. You can support our struggle by donating at https://www.ComeBackAlive.in.ua
