In this war we stand, fight and we will win, because we are united - Ukraine, America and the whole free world;

This is a battle not only for territory, not only for the life, freedom of Ukrainians or another nation that Russia is trying to conquer.. And for what kind of world our children and grandchildren will live in. This fight can't be frozen;
