February broke in the 20s. Ukrainians in social networks remember the beginning of the great war – News

The full-scale war that Russia unleashed in Ukraine has been going on for two years. Two years of murders, atrocities, abuse, looting and destruction.

Ukrainians on social networks share memories of their feelings on the first day of a full-scale war.

“Ukrainian Pravda. Life” collected the posts of Ukrainians in social networks about the day, which has been going on for 731 days.

Journalist of “Ukrainian Pravda” Evgeny Rudenko writes:

“Remembering the details and details of 02/24/2022 is all a lyric that has nothing but artistic value. It is more important here and now, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, ten years and a hundred years from now, not to forget who the Russians are. An enemy who does not deserve forgiveness, because he does not even seek it.

The longer Ukraine holds on, the more the deep Russian people will hate us. And it is probably impossible for all conscious Ukrainians to hate Muscovites more than now“.

Writer, musician Eugene Learcommenting on the invasion 2 years ago, quoted to his colleague Serhiy Zhadan:

“Nothing ended except the lives of a few thousand of the best. As Zhadan says: the worst is behind, the most important is at the end“.

Andriy Semyankivalso known as Med Goblin – Ukrainian anesthesiologist, blogger and book author – to the second anniversary of the full-scale war wrote verse:

2 years is a lot

As many as 730 days.

Turns out, I didn’t see you

730 times.

730 suns rose.

730 came.

730 mourning days

To ta-lo-go.

Life flows through the fingers.

I hope

We still have time.

However, don’t be sad.

Everything will be fine.

I kiss 730 times.

Artist and illustrator Nikita Titov published a new work on the anniversary of the full-scale war:

Co-founder of the online educational platform Prometheus Ivan Primachenko I remembered how two years ago, waking up to the sounds of explosions, I picked up the phone and saw five o’clock on the clock.

“The first thought was: “This time the Nazis let us sleep an hour longer, but they will finish the same as last time.” During these two years, we saw unprecedented heroism and ingenuity, thanks to which Ukraine defended itself.

These years will go down in history not only as a great tragedy, but also as a triumph of the dignity and freedom of our people. Eternal memory of the dead. Glory to Ukraine“, he wrote.

Writer Tatiana Vlasova admits that she does not want to remember that day, in particular because of the fear that took over her then.

“The heavy, sticky, all-encompassing fear I felt at the time. He possessed me completely and did not let go of that very first day. Since then, for two years, I have felt anything but fear. That’s why I don’t want to mention him.

Although, of course, I remember every minute of it“, she wrote.

Chief editor of “Ukrainian Pravda” Sevgil Musaeva shared a photo on February 24, 2022.

“One of the few photos in my phone for February 24, 2022. 14:59, Radio HB. It was a completely accidental meeting of two Crimeans, for whom the war began with the seizure of their native home in 2014.

And just today, looking through the photo archive from the first days of the war, I noticed that we are standing against the background of the map of Ukraine. The next day, Pavlo Kazarin (pictured) will go to the Military Commissariat.

Ukrainians will resist. Already 731 days…” she wrote.

Already mentioned Pavlo Kazarin – a journalist, and now a military serviceman – recalls February two years ago as follows:

“Before the war, I did not like February. 10 years ago, this month broke for me in the twenties. The victory of the Maidan was followed by the Russian invasion of Crimea. I perfectly remember the emotions of that time. Confusion, powerlessness and a feeling of breaking everything that I considered to be the foundation.

We hoped for documents – and they let us down. They counted on allies – but they kept silent. The army, which had always been considered a ballast for the young country, suddenly turned out to be its only hope.

Two years ago, February again became the month of the break. But the feelings were already different“.

At the same time, he is a volunteer and the founder of a charitable foundation Serhiy Prytularecalling the start of a full-scale war two years ago, emphasized that the courageous Ukrainian people accepted this challenge and destroyed the myth of “I will defeat the army of peace.”

“We are the First Army of Peace! That’s how it is and not otherwise! This war will be long. We must be strong and united. Unbreakable and merciless! We pay too high a price for our freedom! Tell your children and grandchildren that only trouble comes from the east! Let it save them in the future!

The enemy spits out blood from every tear of our children and mothers“, – wrote Shelter

In the comments under Serhiy’s post, people are asking him to “open the kernel collection”. In particular, the user Mary writes:

“Serhii, please open a kernel collection. We can call it “mushrooms”. We will collect as much as we need. Because we no longer have the strength to wait for help and receive “concern and anxiety”.
