Dictatorship is a huge evil! It has no nationality, and does not depend on the country! It makes people fear, tolerate oppression, suffer, be humiliated! Having strengthened itself with these things, the dictatorship may appear invincible... but it's not: every dictator is mortal! Now, as they fight for their homeland, for their families and for our freedom, Ukrainians are battling against a dictator! It's a battle of good and evil, of light and darkness, it's freedom against slavery! Dictators will go, and peace will come!
