A letter from Ukraine front lines.
"I never aspired to be in the military. I am a PhD in history, a researcher, a museum worker.
But lately I’ve been in the military. Because… there’s a war in my country..."
"We sleep on crates in unbelievable cramped conditions in the backs of trucks... When it rains – we’re wet, when it swamps – we’re dirty as hell.
Beside me, thousands of historians, writers, accountants, bankers, IT workers, teachers, designers and other peaceful professions..."
"..They are being killed from the 152nd and Tochka-U, followed by bullets and VOGs, cluster munitions and phosphorus munitions.
And some will never go back to their specialty, because they are burned out. But all of them continue to fight.
Because Ukraine is behind them..."

Since 1991, December 1 has been associated with the referendum that confirmed Ukrainian Independence.
Conducted impeccably, it proved to the whole world the desire of Ukrainians to live in their state.
And December 1, 2013 testified to the world the firmness and irreversibility of the European choice.
After all, it is in a European country that people are able to put a limit to the government, which forgot about the shores, sold the country to racists, looted resources and threw overfed stormtroopers on peacefully protesting children.
We, as a nation at war, face several important tasks today. They are known.
The military - to hold positions in the Donetsk direction, continue the offensive in the Kharkiv direction, go to the Sea of Azov, cutting the "land corridor" to the Crimea.
Defensive for the whole country - to strengthen air defense, increase the stability of the energy and transport systems. Common to the population - survive the winter.
But the most important task for today is to create an effective and massive weapon to defeat enemy targets in the depths of its territory at a distance of at least 300 km. Weapons should be cheap (relatively, weapons are always expensive), mass-produced, and produced in Ukraine.
Happening now: At the Engels Air Base in russia, strategic aviation is now being actively equipped with cruise missiles. There is a 90% chance that a massive missile strike on Ukraine will be launched tomorrow.
