The Russian invasion of Ukraine

Remembering the Anniversary of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

It has been a year since Ukrainians have been fighting tirelessly for their lives, freedom, and families. The war has had a devastating impact, with countless lives lost and many more forever changed. This anniversary is an opportunity for us to reflect on Ukranian bravery and resilience, as they have faced incredible challenges with unwavering determination. We want to honor their courge and help Ukraine in the fight for Eurpoe's freedom.

The Video that Changed Everything

On February 24th of last year, our perception of the world was forever changed by a video we saw. The footage showed an unarmed Ukrainian civilian standing fearlessly in front of a Russian tank in the small town of Bahkmach. Despite his small stature and lack of armor, weapons, or a backup, the man extended his arms toward the tank as if he could force it to come to a halt. He was driven by a higher purpose that was invisible to us, and he didn't seem to care about the potential consequences of confronting a military machine with his frail body. His courage and indomitable spirit left a profound impression on us, and we have been thinking about him ever since.

The Symbolism of Courage and Freedom

As we delved deeper into the roots of this selfless act, we stumbled upon a quote from Taras Shevchenko (famous Ukrainian poet, writer, and artist) that read, "Fight - Fight, God, help you! Truth is for you, strength is for you, and holy will!" It all made sense. We hold freedom as our highest value because, without it, life is not worth living. The Ukrainian man rushing in front of the tank was protecting his home country, his freedom, and his life.
The brave Ukrainian man lived to tell the tale, stating, "I didn’t feel fear, instead, in the middle, I was seething with anger at the aggressor." The courage he exhibited elicited a storm of emotions that had to find a way out of our feelings. We decided to create something that would match the colors of the Ukrainian flag, blue and yellow, which represent the skies and the life-giving grain growing in the wheat fields beneath. The colors of peace, hope, and freedom are displayed on buildings, in people's clothes, and worn with great pride by the Ukrainian people.

The WAR has had a profound impact on the lives of countless Ukrainians, with many losing loved ones and others having their lives forever changed.
