Quote: "Another difficult year is coming to an end today. For people in occupied areas, it was filled with sadness, fear, Russian propaganda, searches and threats. But it was also filled with resistance, struggle and hope.

We don't need to say our cherished wish for the New Year out loud, because you all know what we dream about and why we work. That's why we don't talk, we just keep on doing."

For reference: Zhovta Strichka (Yellow Ribbon) is a resistance movement of Ukrainians in the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia.

The organisers of the movement say that the number of underground activists exceeds several thousand and is constantly growing.
