I also grew as a person in those 1000 days of tears, death, wounds, sacrifice, faith and love. It was a tough transformation in the time of challenges. But worth it.

I became responsible for my own actions, my family, my nation and our own planet Earth.

But ordinary people started helping once they figured Ukrainians will hold onto their freedom as it’s the most sacred value they have in life.

This inspired millions around the world. It was turning point in the world - people figured Ukraine deserves the right of self-defense.

People started sending drones, generators, food, trucks, tactical gear, medicine.

And governments sent weapons, so we can defend ourselves with big guns. Freedom must be well armed to defend itself.

My life changed a ton. From peaceful life of IT guy earning a fortune, traveling through the world and enjoying life with my girlfriend... To a soldier wearin uniform.

I give my everything to protect my dear ones in Ukraine and to protect the greatest value of my life - Freedom.

Day 1000. My life changed drastically since day 1.

Everyone said Ukraine will fall in 3 days. Not a single person believed in us, but we fought fiercely in 2022, against all odds, and we won the battle of Kyiv.

My thoughts on 1000 days, as a soldier of Ukrainian Army now🧵

Ukrainian story is very life-affirming.

In the times of extreme challenges, everything depends on us. I have learned this from the war - ordinary people shape the way this world functions; we shape the course of history.

As a Ukrainian soldier, I feel very impactful.

Noone believed in Ukraine.

In 2022, Ukraine was given 3 days to live - at max. Too small, too weak, defending against the “unbeatable r*ssia”.

All those world-class analysts didn’t account for Ukrainian courage, unity and unbreakable spirit. We aspire to be free and we will be.

To all supporting our Fight for Freedom—you're not just backing Ukraine's sovereignty; you're championing freedom, justice, and humanity.

Ukraine is where liberty faces tyranny, and courage confronts oppression. Thanks to our united strength, Ukraine holds.

I salute you.

Let us not be stopped. We have a thousand days, 11 years, countless battles behind us, and I don’t care how much more in front of us.

I am in it for the Victory of Freedom. I wish us courage, dedication and wisdom.

Слава Україні ⚔️🇺🇦

Here is how much Russia advanced in one year - 2023-2024.

For a country of their military might, it's nothing.

For Ukraine, it's thousands of lives lost heroically protecting Ukrainian Freedom so that war is somewhat contained.

No conclusions, just facts.

Ehmmm, Ukraine I guess, but we have our problems too…

Hello from Ukraine! Pictured from a drone :)

Going through my military training now. Very excited to learn!
