The Russian aim was to occupy the capital Kyiv. The Ukrainian army protects and fights with the occupants leaving them with no thought or even hope to further step on the territory of Ukraine.
While the Ukrainian army stops the enemy on the front line, we all together, being partners and being an international BIMCOfamily for all these years have to unite and stop right now the Russian totalitarian desinformation in the world!
We see and are thankful for all the support you offer us: the demonstrations in your cities, the asylum in your countries, the humanitarian and military help your governments send us. THANK YOU!
