Quote from Zelenskyy: "A new day and a new evil are coming, the very moment when the world does not notice. Some are sleepy and some are fast asleep. Some are not paying attention, while some do not care. All the while, everyone is silent.

They all think the same thing: I will not be affected. The war is somewhere far away. 

[...] We will not be affected. It will not cause damage to us. They will not come for us. Unfortunately, as a result, it becomes everyone's problem.

Sooner or later, memories of a terrible war become a terrible reality. The neighbour becomes the aggressor. The aggressor becomes a terrorist. And Nazism becomes an example to follow. It may come in a new guise, with new slogans, but with the same goal. 

Unfortunately, it is not from books that we know about it. We know how evil can break into your home.

[...] The outward form of evil has changed, but its essence has remained unchanged. Evil always begins in the same way. The invaders call themselves liberators. The invasion of one's army is called self-defence. Just like 80 years ago, the Ukrainian people stand up to defend their native land."
