      • Today is a rainy day in Ukraine… Tears are flowing in the homes of the heroes, But no one is able to return them - Today is a rainy day in Ukraine. Let us all pray for their souls. Let's put candles in the churches for them; Husbands, fathers, sons and friends - For their native land in heaven. And tomorrow there will be a well-deserved revenge! For every drop of a mother's tear, For the wild pain that tears the soul, For every speck of Ukrainian land… Dorosh N.V
