While Russia tries to erase Ukraine — our people, our history, our culture — Ukrainians keep doing the opposite. We celebrate Christmas with our own traditions: carols in the streets, the Christmas star carried from home to home, voices raised in song instead of fear. Even under fire, we don’t abandon who we are. This is how a culture survives. This is how Ukraine endures. ✨🇺🇦 | Ukraine / Україна

Even during freezing temperatures, blackouts, and air raid alerts, Ukrainians do not forget about their animals. ❤️ People take care of them, making sure animals do not stay cold or frightened, letting them inside, taking them to safe places during air alerts, keeping them warm with blankets, and buying food and treats. Whether on their own or together with neighbors and businesses, Ukrainians believe that every life matters. This is what true humanity looks like. ___________________ Навіть під
