Good night, dear friends.Today in Lviv, the main Christmas tree has been lit. Even in the shadow of war, Ukrainians keep creating light, hope, and beauty. I believe this war will end, and Ukraine will rise to even better, brighter days. Strength, resilience, and courage-this is the Ukrainian spirit.
