This reminds me of the birth of the Italian state : there was a time when it was said that Italy was only a geographical expression. But with the Risorgimento it proved to be a nation. Someone said it was easy to fold Ukraine because it was not a nation. But with your ability to fight you have shown that you are”, the words of the premier in a conference with the Ukrainian head of state.
