Our Faces

The people of Ukraine and the government of Ukraine want peace.  But if we come under attack, if we face an attempt to take away our country, our freedom, our lives and lives of our children, we will defend ourselves.  When you attack us, you will see our faces, not our backs.

-- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an overnight address, speaking in Russian in a direct appeal to Russian citizens, on the brink of Russian military aggression, 24 February 2022
