“Sadness, grief, anger, but on the same hand, a great feeling of pride for my country and pride for the world. Great cost, but we managed to change the world already,” Zgurov said. “I’m proud of understanding that we have been out, we’ve been having protests for the entire year. Every weekend, people show up during hard moments, I’m not only talking about weather, about moral situations that people experienced but they still manage to find strength.
“This is a fight to choose our own destiny. And that’s why I strongly support Ukraine. And I’m very grateful to each one of you,” Kagan added.
