Opinion There can be no real peace in Ukraine without justice (adapted from Oleksandra Matviichuk's Keynote Address)
In this war, Ukraine is fighting for freedom in all its senses: for the freedom to be an independent country, not a Russian colony; for the freedom to have its own identity; for the freedom to have a democratic choice and to live in a society where the government does not determine what you believe, whom you love, what you say, where you go and what you die for.
This war is genocidal in nature. It’s about the possibility of our existence. If we stop fighting, there will be no more us.
