It is important to tell the world the truth about the events in Ukraine, about the genocide that Russia committed against Ukrainians. It is crucial not only for Ukrainians but for the entire democratic world, because without understanding the deep causes of the modern war, without realizing and condemning the crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine, it is impossible to establish a new European identity based on highly humanistic values.
