Why Do I Have To Run Away From Home ?!

Hi friends. Thank you all for your support. I want to share my feelings. In my articles I talked about my country. How I love her, how I love to travel with her. I have lived in my native Ukraine since childhood. I have friends, parents, work and homeland.

Patriotism

In my opinion, a patriot is a person devoted to his people, who loves his homeland, ready to defend it in the most difficult moments, a person who lives and works for the prosperity of his land. Sometimes, and even today, a sea of ​​words about love and devotion to Ukraine is heard from high tribunes, but, unfortunately, these are just words. However, there are many examples of selfless love of Ukrainians for their homeland. Today is an example of this, because many sons and daughters of Ukraine gave their lives for it. We have witnessed this. Maidan events, the war in the East… The blood of the most sincere patriots in the war is still being shed.

History shows that Ukrainians have always been patriots. Historical songs and thoughts, fiction tell about it. It is very easy to love the Motherland when it is rich and powerful, much harder - when it is weak and unprotected. But will real sons be able to leave a sick mother to their own devices? I do not condemn those who have emigrated abroad in search of a better life, but I am sure that they are deeply unhappy, because perhaps, having material goods, they are unable to breathe the native air, see their children grow up, bow to their homes. defend your land from enemies.

True patriots are those people who do not talk about love for their homeland, but protect it even at the cost of their own lives, work and live for its prosperity, multiplying what they have acquired. My grandfather was a fierce patriot. He loved his country very much, he defended it. He was fair and brave. For him, Ukraine was above all.

I am proud of my grandfather. He unfortunately died before the war. Before the war, my grandfather dreamed of me, probably he gave me a sign that the war would begin. I think he conveys to me the spirit of patriotism that has taken root in me and I can not do anything about it, because love for Ukraine is burning even more.

Rocket attack on my city

The first attack on my city by the Russian military took place on February 24. It was morning .... I calmly woke up drinking coffee by the window and enjoying the sunrise .... And then there was a loud explosion, and then the second and third .... rockets flew to the airport, which was a little far from me, but the impression was that it was near me. I quickly started dressing my children, preparing them to flee to the bomb shelter.

Putin has repeatedly warned us about the war, but I did not want to believe it. We are a peaceful people, we do not go to foreign lands and do not fight on them. But Russia attacked .... explosions began in many cities .... We have prepared bomb shelters in which we can hide.

Men began to take women and children to safety. With tears in my eyes, I did not want to leave my home, brother, mother, father of friends. Not everyone could leave. But to save the children's lives, I had to go abroad. Without packing, we left quickly. There were many women with children at the border. Some were driving, but many were walking. It was frost -7 outside, small children froze, they were very cold, but they had to go. I was lucky, I drove 30 hours, we drove 10 km .... Men escorted their wives and children to the border and returned home to protect their land and home. It was very difficult to watch them say goodbye, cry, hurt to the core.

Czech Republic

We arrived in the beautiful country of the Czech Republic. We were very well received. They gave us food, clothes, housing. Thank you. Maybe in other countries life is better, salaries. Good and nice people here .... but I'm sick because I'm not home. I am not with my family, I am not in my Ukraine. I feel very bad because I'm more worried here, like at home under fire. I can't eat, sleep because my soul hurts when I watch the news of Ukrainians being killed.

• Why did Russia come to kill us? Russia, why are you so with us? Get out of our land. There is no America here, only Ukraine. We will not allow ourselves to kneel before you, we are a strong people and we will fight.

Russia asks for help from Belarusians. I hope that the Belarusians will not go to war with us, will not come to our homes with weapons. They are good and peaceful people. I believe they will not want to fight us. Belarusians do not shoot at our children who are in their homes. So, one hope in God. I believe he will save us. After all, we love our country, home.

We are just defending ourselves. I really want to return home where there will be peace and happiness, where there will be children's laughter, where I will be able to breathe the air to the fullest in my homeland. I believe and hope that I will raise the blue and yellow flag high in my Ukraine.

Thank you for reading my article🥰
