If I’d never been to Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it.
From afar, to those quite tired of Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until they got bored.
And I’d think the 2014 Maidan Revolution was staged by some State Department lady handing out cookies.
But up close? The truth isn’t what you’d expect. 🧵[1]⤵️
Багато років тому моя подруга Ксюша
задала мені вивчити цей вірш на наше наступне заняття з англійської. Спочатку він здавався просто набором слів. А потім став моїм спасінням. Навіть в найтемніші часи. Дякую, Ксюша. Thank you, my friend.
Our https://t.co/ab8uPSziVY created this video tribute to Ukraine’s endurance, set to the soundtrack of Sir Michael Caine reading the words of Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If.”
I was inspired to make this while delivering supplies to the frontline with American supporter Jim Gamache and Ukrainian civil society volunteer leader Max Burtsev, @McSimba , who also considers this his favorite poem, words which we recited on our Donbas roadtrip.
Notably: In the ancient and still flourishing Ukrainian language, the word for “if” literally means “how-what”: a workman like idea of how to achieve the impossible. And Ukrainian has two words for will: a basic sense of it, буде / bude, and something higher, holier: воля / volya, the deep will to be free.
“If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!” —R. Kipling
Thanks to the generous audience of Chicago’s WGN Radio, which tunes into my Ukraine report every weekday for more than two years now, we were able to deliver anti-drone protective gear to frontline Ukrainians in Donbas.
I especially thank Mr. Peter Jurgenson, whose support enabled us to buy the Oberih drone-jammer. Oberih in Ukrainian means “protective amulet,” and generous Americans are providing such protection to Ukrainians who stand at the frontline in this good vs evil struggle.

Це Джо @jplindsley та Джим. Наші американські друзі. Завдяки ним сьогодні ми відвезли хлопцям з 92ї ще один РЕБ, на цей раз - потужний шостидіапазонний Оберіг. А ще 10 додаткових батарей, які подвоять час роботи мобільних РЕБ Kvertus, які передавали раніше. Дякуємо, друзі!
