      Edit: This is what the Ukraine Crisis media center writes:
      Russian propaganda is still _demonizing_ the red-and-black flag to portray it as the symbol of Ukranian "fascism" and "nazism" used by Ukranian "far-right-nationalists" to kill Jews and Poles.
      In fact, the black-and-red flag is depicted in the painting "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks" by _Ilja Repin_ , which was created back in 1880-1891
      The black-and-red flag was never officially adopted as a symbol of the Ukranian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the Organization of Ukranian Nationalists. However, it was used in Ukraine's national _liberation struggle_ in the XX century
      The flag was actively used during the Revolution of Dignity and the Russo-Ukranian war as a _symbol of freedom_ and the fight for an independent Ukraine. Black means Ukranian land and red - Ukrainian blood spilled for Ukranian liberty

    Such a cool video! I visited Lviv a few months before the war. One of the best experiences of my life. So many great souls in Ukraine. I hope this conflict is over asap, and I hope to visit again one day 🇺🇦

    I mean me being an American born and raised here but both parents from Ukraine, has been odd for me. I always wanted to visit Ukraine to learn more about that place and my mom would always tell me stories. A lot of my relatives live there or have moved to America as well (some due to war). For me it's such an odd place to be because I don't really feel like America is my home but Ukraine I can't really call it home either. I try my best to support Ukraine by donating money and such. English though happened to be the third language I learned when I was young it was first Ukrainian, then Russian, then English. Also where I grew up and still am at is pretty ghetto and about the least place with Ukrainians. I actually speak African American Vernacular English and due to that people get shocked when I start speaking fluently Ukrainian or Russian, even Ukrainians I have met! 😂 I feel like it is a privilege though to get to experience both worlds and I think has contributed greatly in who I am today.
