In his view, during the existential war that Russia is waging against our country, Ukrainians must finally stop looking to outside advice and learn to firmly defend their national dignity. The main instrument in this struggle should be clear legal accountability for hatred of everything Ukrainian.
A war for the right to be Ukrainian
In his post on Facebook, Tomenko recalls Taras Shevchenko’s words that Ukraine cannot be indifferent to its future. According to the public figure, the current bloody aggression by the Russian horde is not at all about territory or mineral resources.
“This bloody war is not about territory or mineral resources; it is a war for the right of Ukrainians to be called Ukrainians, to have their own state, to speak their native language, to honor national culture and folk customs, to pray in their own church,” Tomenko emphasizes.
The politician stresses that the time for any advice from neighboring states about whom Ukrainians should revere as national heroes burned long ago in the flames of enemy shelling of schools, museums, libraries, and churches. There is no need to obsequiously adapt to others’ interests — the time has come for Ukrainians to resolutely defend their own.
