Today marks three years of Ruzzia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine and I’m reminded of the Ukrainian toast “budmo” - “let us be.” It’s said to have originated from the times of the Cossacks - leave us alone. Stop trying to take over our land and kill our people. #fuckrussia #russiaisaterroriststate
