February That Does Not Pass…

There are months that leave a mark on memory forever. For Ukraine, it is February. February 2014 — the first pain and the first awakening of the nation, when freedom revealed its true price. February 2022 — the beginning of a new struggle, when every day became proof of the strength and resilience of Ukrainians.

Today, in the virtual hall of the Faculty of Psychological and Pedagogical Education and Arts of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, we remembered those who gave their lives for dignity and freedom, and those who are holding Ukraine’s sky today. In the words and in the pauses, there was sincerity, the light of remembrance, and faith in the future.

Especially touching were the stories about children’s faith, which, even in bomb shelters, remained a ray of hope, inspiring adults not to lose their strength. Small joys became sources of support: children’s laughter, blue-and-yellow flags in the streets, people standing by one another even in the hardest moments.

It is from such rays of hope that the resilience of a nation is built. Every act of steadfastness, every gesture of help, every day lived is a step toward Victory.

We remember. We believe in Victory and in returning home.

Light always overcomes darkness. And as long as we carry it in our hearts and actions, Ukraine remains unconquerable.
