00:00:00,025 --> 00:00:03,842


2
00:00:03,842 --> 00:00:11,576
Hello everyone! I'm not a media person, but the
catastrophe in our country forces me to make this video.

3
00:00:11,576 --> 00:00:16,133
My name is Volodymyr and I live in
the Lviv region, in western Ukraine.

4
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:22,837
Last week on Friday, August 21, there was another drone attack on
another shopping mall in another city in Ukraine,

5
00:00:22,837 --> 00:00:29,812
in which dozens of civilians were killed and more
than a hundred injured, including dozens of children.

6
00:00:29,812 --> 00:00:36,233
I want to ask: To what degree of
destruction will we still tolerate this war?

7
00:00:36,233 --> 00:00:42,399
As long as I personally am still alive and healthy, as long as I
have electricity, gas, heat, and water at

8
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:49,023
home, I can still advocate for the "war until
victory" and "peace from a position of strength."

9
00:00:49,023 --> 00:00:56,056
I can still rejoice when "our" drones destroy
"their" storage facilities or oil refineries.

10
00:00:58,431 --> 00:01:06,720
But many people in Ukraine who have lost their possessions and
were forced to leave their homes as refugees, to move somewhere

11
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,509
and now live under I don't know what
conditions, without hope of ever having any home of

12
00:01:12,509 --> 00:01:18,691
their own in the future, see all this differently.

13
00:01:18,691 --> 00:01:24,451
I myself, too, if I have to get by next winter without
electricity, without heat, without water and

14
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:32,553
sewage, will most likely think somewhat differently
about "the war until victory" than I do right now.

15
00:01:32,553 --> 00:01:41,500
And this scenario is absolutely realistic, because not only do
"our" drones attack "them," but "their drones" also attack "us."

16
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:49,220
Moreover, "their" ballistic missiles are currently terrorizing us
mercilessly, against which we have no protection at all, about

17
00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:56,397
which we have been told since the first weeks of the war that the
enemy supposedly "has only enough missiles left for a

18
00:01:56,397 --> 00:02:04,548
very few weeks," because sanction package No. 38 is now
really working and the enemy would bleed out at any moment.

19
00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:06,465
How long is this supposed to go on?

20
00:02:06,465 --> 00:02:12,527
How many people still have to die, how many power plants, shops,
food warehouses, waterworks, and entire cities in

21
00:02:12,527 --> 00:02:20,036
general still have to be destroyed before we finally
understand that a "bad peace" is better than a "good war"??

22
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:28,193
At the moment I have a legal exemption from mobilization.

23
00:02:28,193 --> 00:02:32,963
But even if this exemption should
end, I will never go to the front.

24
00:02:32,963 --> 00:02:41,986
I would rather go to prison than to the front, because I have
not the slightest desire to fight and die for foreign interests.

25
00:02:41,986 --> 00:02:47,028
This is not a war for the "fatherland," because
millions of hectares of our fatherland were already sold

26
00:02:47,028 --> 00:02:50,512
to foreign agricultural corporations before the war.

27
00:02:50,512 --> 00:02:56,068
Even the largest Ukrainian landowners
and "owners" in general are not fighting.

28
00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:59,329
Neither their children nor their
closest relatives are at the front.

29
00:02:59,329 --> 00:03:05,390
Very often, precisely those who call on others to fight the
loudest on television programs have already

30
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:12,000
ensured outside the program that neither they
nor their children have to go to the front.

31
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,953
Member of the parliamentary committee for national security
and defense Venislavsky sent his son to Hollywood (USA).

32
00:03:18,953 --> 00:03:24,596
His son is not rushing back to reinforce the
ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces of Ukraine.

33
00:03:24,596 --> 00:03:34,599
Of the 4 children of former president and member of parliament
Poroshenko (including 2 sons of draft age), none went to war.

34
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:41,151
The former head of the presidential office Yermak publicly
promised after his dismissal in November 2025 to go

35
00:03:41,151 --> 00:03:48,387
to the front and fight, but appears there only
sporadically for a short time and only for PR purposes.

36
00:03:48,387 --> 00:03:50,860
Far more such examples could be cited.

37
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:56,933
Why must the common people be mutilated and die at the
front while the "upper caste" can go about their

38
00:03:56,933 --> 00:04:00,960
business unhindered during this time and line their pockets?

39
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:08,310
Do you remember the so-called "Mindich Gate," "Operation Midas,"
the current "Forrest Gump" affair (these are various corruption

40
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:15,087
scandals of recent months) and the sums of money involved, as
well as the fact that so far NO ONE has really been held

41
00:04:15,087 --> 00:04:21,920
accountable for them, even though it concerns the
embezzlement of funds intended for protection against the war?

42
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:28,375
In the past, those involved faced a military
tribunal and often execution by firing squad.

43
00:04:28,375 --> 00:04:33,853
We have become guinea pigs for foreign weapons
manufacturers and IT corporations, who test

44
00:04:33,853 --> 00:04:37,135
their latest military and IT technologies on us.

45
00:04:37,135 --> 00:04:40,766
I will not die for them.

46
00:04:40,766 --> 00:04:44,219
This war seems very strange to me for many reasons.

47
00:04:44,219 --> 00:04:51,503
I ask only one thing: Why, in 4.5 years of war, do most attacks
hit civilian infrastructure, causing the common

48
00:04:51,503 --> 00:04:58,348
people to suffer, but there has not been a single
attack on the so-called "decision-making centers"?

49
00:04:58,348 --> 00:05:04,195
There has not been a single attack on the
elite villas of government members near Kyiv,

50
00:05:04,195 --> 00:05:09,637
while the homes of ordinary people burn every day.

51
00:05:09,637 --> 00:05:13,305
The residents of Kyiv notice a strange pattern:

52
00:05:13,305 --> 00:05:21,803
The most massive missile attacks come precisely
when Zelensky is on yet another foreign tour.

53
00:05:21,803 --> 00:05:27,303
That means: "Zelensky abroad = brace yourselves for impacts."

54
00:05:33,188 --> 00:05:42,704
On August 24, Ukraine's Independence Day, the heads of government
of the so-called "coalition of the willing" came to Kyiv again.

55
00:05:42,704 --> 00:05:46,536
They were not afraid of a missile attack during their visit.

56
00:05:46,536 --> 00:05:54,452
They once again promised us to support us and to
pass the 150th sanctions package against the aggressor.

57
00:05:54,452 --> 00:05:57,866
But this will definitely not make things easier for us.

58
00:05:57,866 --> 00:06:03,513
This war seems to benefit the leaderships of
both conflicting parties as well as very many

59
00:06:03,513 --> 00:06:07,540
others, but certainly not us ordinary people.

60
00:06:09,735 --> 00:06:14,322
Summary I raise my voice for peace.

61
00:06:14,322 --> 00:06:19,653
This slaughter and this senseless
bloodshed must be stopped NOW IMMEDIATELY.

62
00:06:19,653 --> 00:06:25,793
Not to continue the war, but to immediately
declare a ceasefire and begin negotiations on a

63
00:06:25,793 --> 00:06:29,717
long-term peace – that is the only right way.

64
00:06:29,717 --> 00:06:37,915
Every man in Ukraine should refuse to go to the front
and not be afraid to openly stand by this position of his.

65
00:06:37,915 --> 00:06:43,136
There is a famous saying: “It is war, but nobody goes.”

66
00:06:43,136 --> 00:06:49,442
May these words now come true for us
in Ukraine precisely at this time.

67
00:06:49,442 --> 00:06:52,785
We will not fight for foreign interests.

68
00:06:52,785 --> 00:06:59,110
And precisely that is true patriotism nowadays:
to stop the war immediately and rebuild Ukraine.

69
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:00,626
May God help us in this.

70
00:07:00,626 --> 00:07:03,225
Thank you for your attention.
