Have you ever wondered why the kingdom over his brothers was given to Judah? To understand this, you need to go back to the moment when Benjamin was accused of stealing the golden cup. And then Judah did something unusual - he began to beg to be taken as a slave instead of Benjamin. What an example of self-sacrifice! Only the one who will give his life for the sake of his brothers is worthy of the kingdom.

And now I will return to Ukraine. And I will explain why we will not stop fighting even if we have no allies. Even if they do not supply us with weapons, even if everyone turns away from us. Even if we have to fight with our bare hands. Ukrainians will not stop fighting because we are fighting for the truth, we are not fighting for territories. We are fighting to prevent hatred, genocide, mass murders, bullying, torture, rape that can spread to the rest of Eastern Europe.

Because if we surrender, we know exactly what will happen. Therefore, Ukraine will stand to the end to the death, but we will not allow the Russians to go further beyond our borders, because further - our children. And we must defend life till the death. It doesn’t matter to me and many Ukrainians what the Poles or Belarusians think now, whether they plan to help us or not, it doesn’t matter at all. Because that’s not the point. The Russians have encountered resistance and for 3 years now they have not been able to capture a single large city in Eastern Ukraine. But they still don’t know WHAT real resistance is. In order to see real resistance, they need to cross the Dnieper and come to Western Ukraine. Once the entire territory of Ukraine was called Volyn. This word comes from the word “freedom”, that is, there was freedom here. But then this word began to be used only for the northwestern regions of Ukraine.

We understand our future fate, we understand that we have to die. But can a grain germinate and bear fruit if it doesn’t die? We know what will happen next. We know that the US will refuse to supply weapons to Ukraine, we know that Moscow will establish pro-Russian governments in Eastern Europe that will block aid to Ukraine. We know that Moscow will intensify propaganda, convincing other countries not to help Ukraine, because it is too expensive. We know all this, and yet we cannot allow Russia further than our territory, our task to protect our brothers like Yudah did. With Trump’s help, the Russians will most likely advance further, they may even capture Kyiv. If they turn off the Starlinks, we will have to retreat to the west of Ukraine, but even here we will continue the war. Because we cannot do otherwise. We cannot be cowards and run away. We cannot hide behind someone’s back. Our task is to protect children so that they can continue the fight when they grow up. Only in this case Ukraine will be. What is the point of being alive but living in slavery? Freedom or death!

And the fact that we now live in a free country is the merit of our parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers who were not afraid and laid down their heads so that we could live. Therefore, we cannot be forced to surrender. This makes no sense. We cannot be intimidated, because we are not afraid, because we know that we are fighting for the truth and God is for us. We cannot be broken, because faith is unbreakable. We cannot be forced because we believe that every person is equal and free to do what they please. Even if everyone is against us, God is with us! And we cannot be defeated because we will never give up.

Does death mean anything when there is something more than death,when there is truth! That is why God placed Ukraine and Russia next to each other, so that Ukraine would not allow evil to spread throughout the world. That is why God never lets the light from Ukraine go out. When Hitler occupied Europe, he met the first resistance in Ukraine. Stalin knew that Hitler had crossed the border, but he did not care what would happen to Ukrainians or Belarusians, he wanted to see us dead just like Hitler (after all, 8 years before he himself carried out the genocide of Ukrainians and killed over 20 million people).

Nevertheless, Ukrainians, even weakened and bled by concentration camps and hunger, began the first resistance. That is why Hitler could not build a single concentration camp here. Because Ukrainians gave their lives so that this would not happen. Similarly, now Ukrainians will lie down with their bones but will not let the Russians further to the West. And we do not care whether someone will help us or not. Because we simply cannot do otherwise. And maybe tomorrow we will be gone, but Ukraine will always be!

I want you to listen to this wonderful song called “Ukraine will always be” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiWC0XGgphY&list=RDUiWC0XGgphY&start_radio=1

Like a willow tree over a pond, Like a tree stump under a roof, Like a girl in a garden, Like a piece that was gnawed away, Until God gets tired of people, Ukraine will always be! It will be great, even more than this one, On our tattoos, in our hearts, Despite death, dangers, deceptions, Despite everyone, despite everything, it will be!

        Literal Holocaust denialism, you Nazi fuck.

        Here you go:

        Historian Karel Berkhoff, among others, has shown that Bandera, his deputies, and the Nazis shared a key obsession, namely the notion that the Jews in Ukraine were behind Communism and Stalinist imperialism and must be destroyed. “The Jews of the Soviet Union,” read a Banderist statement, “are the most loyal supporters of the Bolshevik Regime and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in the Ukraine.” When the Germans invaded the USSR in June 1941 and captured the East Galician capital of Lvov, Bandera’s lieutenants issued a declaration of independence in his name. They further promised to work closely with Hitler, then helped to launch a pogrom that killed four thousand Lvov Jews in a few days, using weapons ranging from guns to metal poles. “We will lay your heads at Hitler’s feet,” a Banderist pamphlet proclaimed to Ukrainian Jews.

        Here’s another one: Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist: Fascism, Genocide, and Cult, written by a Fellow of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum

        The author notes that in a declaration in May the OUN-B called for the extermination of “Moskali [Russians], Jews, aliens, and Poles” as it began to collaborate with the Abwehr in the formation of the two battalions that entered the Ukrainian SSR in June 1941 with the German Army. The key event after the invasion from a Ukrainian perspective was the OUNB’s declaration of Ukrainian independence in L’viv on June 30, 1941—which the author contrasts with the Ustasha’s analogous declaration in Croatia, which did not glorify Hitler and the Wehrmacht. In the pogrom that followed “Germans and the Ukrainian military establishment controlled by the OUN-B” carried out the killings of Jews, and Bandera’s “moral and ethical responsibility [is] evident” (p. 239).

          Can you refer the original document of OUN-B where it is written about "extermination of Moskali, Jews, aliens and Poles’? And Bandera’s statement about “We will lay your heads at Hitler’s feet”. I will greatly appreciate your help. I want to see original documents. I do not believe articles.

            No, because I do not read Ukrainian, and I have not personally reviewed the primary sources. There are people who do speak Ukrainian and have extensively studied these sources, such as the people who work at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

            Could you do me a favor a clearly state whether you believe the historians working with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum are knowingly lying and fabricating evidence regarding the Holocaust? And if so, would you mind giving me your best guess as to why Holocaust scholars are engaging in this conspiracy?

              Please provide the full names of the documents that the authors of the articles refer to and I will find them myself and send them to you. So that you can verify the truth or falsity of the data. Agreed? This topic is very interesting to me and I want to understand and find the truth.

          I am sorry, you are making conclusions based on google search articles? Seriously? I am laughing))). GIVE ME REAL DOCUMENTS that proves your claim. There are a lot of documents in Moscow archives about Ukraine, Ukrainian, Polish, Belorussian resistance during Soviet times. Why it is problem for you to get it? Maybe because there are no such documents and your claims are empty))) I seriously wanted to accept your point of view and I wanted to believe you… but without documents it is not possible.

          Of course not, but if you can prove your statement with link to original documents of OUN - I will gladly review it. OUN’s main targets were: The destruction of Bolshevik rule; The withdrawal of Ukraine from the USSR and the liquidation of the Russian Empire in general; The liquidation of communism, the communist system and the regime; The restoration of an Independent Ukrainian State within national ethnographic borders with a democratic system of government that would guarantee democratic freedoms to all citizens of Ukraine in all areas of life, and mainly in the areas of spiritual, cultural, political and social existence.

    Wait do you unironically believe that God is real, and it created modern nation states and borders? And the divine destiny of some countries’ entire existence, the purpose of every person born into the country, is to defend against evil, something that was also created by God??

    This is unhinged. “God put a population of people here for the sole purpose of dying in a struggle against some other evil people that God also created, for the benefit of the rest of Europe, which God created to just chill out and not have to deal with this. This is in no way, shape or form mentioned in our holy scriptures, btw. In fact they don’t mention us at all, despite creating us for the sole purpose of opposing imperialism, because the scriptures were too busy condemning pork, gay people and mixed fabrics”

    I get wanting to oppose Putin, that makes sense. Resisting imperialism? Yeah, makes sense too. “God created us solely to suffer for the benefit of some other people elsewhere in the world”? You lost me there champ.

      Your understanding of God is juvenile. God cares about individual countries and people the same way you care about individual bacteria in your gut, which is to say they are hardly regarded. God would put a population somewhere with the sole purpose of fighting and dying without a second thought. God has more important things to think about than the fate of individual nations, God has more important things to think about than the fate of individual people.

      "What is more fictitious, the gods or you and I?

      I wasn’t born to just support the shit that’s palpable,

      I don’t see Earth as disproportionally valuable;

      If there’s a God, I’m sure his name is unpronounceable

      If there’s a hell, I’m sure we’ll all be held accountable."

      In fact, you understood my words very correctly. That is what being chosen means - being willing to give your life for others so that Moscow cannot throw the whole world into darkness. Maybe this sounds strange to the Western world - but we hate Moscow’s actions so much so our goal is to destroy this imperial system and free the enslaved peoples. This is the only goal of the liberation movement. And Moscow understands this perfectly well. Their tsars wrote, “For the existence of the Russian Empire, it is deadly dangerous that Ukraine becomes independent.”

    Look guys regarding OUN-UPA, Bandera etc - all manuscripts, archives are all available online, Ukraine is not hiding anything. There are dozens of published books about this. And believe me, if it were really what we are accused of, our historians would be the first to start talking about it.

    I will give only a short quote from the “Interview of the German radio station in Cologne with Stepan Bandera”. “The Path of Victory”, pp. 43 and 44 from 1954, also in: “Homin Ukrainy”, Toronto, pp. 1-2 (294-295) from 7.1.1955 p. n. “Interview of the German radio station with Stepan Bandera”. (The book Stepan Bandera: …when one says: Glory to Ukraine!). If someone wants to read this book I have pdf copy (Ukrainian) and can send it to you.

    "* In front of me sits a person whom, my listeners, I dare not describe to you. Few people know what he looks like, where he is and what his last name is today. This person is Stepan Bandera. Stepan Bandera – today a legendary figure of the national liberation struggle of enslaved peoples, like Abdel Krim – is one of the most dangerous and strongest enemies of Soviet imperialism alive today, because behind him, the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, stand 40 million Ukrainians. Bandera embodies their aspiration for national independence.

    Since 1941, when, after the march of the Germans into the Soviet Union, he proclaimed the independence of Ukraine and when the UPA, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, led by him, took up arms, the Soviet secret service has been trying to catch him. However, to this day the Soviets have not been able to reach Bandera. He lives unrecognized in a secret place. Stepan Bandera met the end of the war in 1945 in a German concentration camp. The failure of the Ukrainian people in 1941 did not suit Hitler’s own concept of Eastern policy. He invited Bandera to Berlin for political talks and ordered his arrest there. Bandera’s supporters, the famous Banderaites, continued their struggle on two fronts - against Hitler and against Moscow - further. Stepan Bandera remained their undisputed Leader.

    GOPPE: What, Mr. Bandera, are the political goals of your Organization?

    BANDERA: The anti-Bolshevik liberation struggle in Ukraine, waged by the nationalist underground, has been going on without a break for 10 years. The most important goals of this struggle are:

    1. The destruction of Bolshevik rule;
    2. The withdrawal of Ukraine from the USSR and the liquidation of the Russian Empire in general;
    3. The liquidation of communism, the communist system and the regime;
    4. The restoration of an Independent Ukrainian State within national ethnographic borders with a democratic system of government that would guarantee democratic freedoms to all citizens of Ukraine in all areas of life, and mainly in the areas of spiritual, cultural, political and social existence. "
