It is February 14. Today I just want to remind you that a deal in which dignity, freedom and human lives are measured in dollars is a very bad deal. Because there are things more valuable than dollars.
Let me remind you that the war will not end as long as there is even a single inch of occupied land in Ukraine. Because even if the guns fall silent, their torture chambers and concentration camps will not disappear. And every day, just like now, people will be tortured and murdered there. So living towns and villages
under occupation while saying that the most important thing is to prevent people from dying is hypocrisy and a lie. People will continue to die.
It's strange that it has to be repeated in the 21st century, but I will remind you anyway. Nazis are scum, occupation is a crime, and appeasement of aggressor never works. Blessed are the peacemakers, said Jesus, but he did not mean those who give the aggressor everything they desire and then call it peace.
The other day my brother in arms said that the West is now in the same position as Ukraine was during the Balkan wars of 1990s. Back when we were all going about our lives, not even thinking that one day we too
could face a siege like Sarajevo or mass executions like in Srebrenica. Right now you are not thinking about it, but the threat of war escalating is very real. I will finish today on somewhat solemn note, but forgive me for that. Before the start of Second World War, Winston Churchill said that a nation that chooses
Shame over war will get both. Shame and war. Do not choose shame. Stand with Ukraine. Stand for freedom and dignity.
