Freedom and democracy have always been important to me. That’s why I studied history (World War II) and why I now teach students to be conscious citizens. So when the invasion began, I supported Ukraine without hesitation. And when I heard about UNITED24 in the media, I immediately sent my contribution.

During a visit to Kyiv, I donated a book I wrote in honor of President Zelenskyy to the Yaroslav Mudryi National Library. I am currently working on a new manuscript, and the copyright for this book—like the first—will belong to UNITED24.

I sincerely hope that in the near future I will be able to visit your peaceful country as part of the European family of the EU and NATO.
