Nothing breaks our hearts here in Ukraine more than to hear and read so many wonderful people from America coming to us and saying that they have failed us. That they are ashamed for their country.

People who are standing by Ukrainians on social media, supporting our initiatives, doing everything they can to pressure their representatives, displaying a flag of this distant Ukraine in their homes and cars.

You, my friends from America, have absolutely nothing to feel ashamed about or to feel that you failed us.

You are heroes.

You may have lost an election, but your character and spirit remain intact.
