HAPPY UKRAINIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY! I’m not “virtue signaling” here, I truly believe in Ukrainian independence and absolutely loathe the fascist Russian assholes who are destroying a peaceful and beautiful independent nation. My Ukrainian grandmother, may she rest in peace, instilled in me a great hatred for Russians/Soviets and they have done little in my lifetime to make me like them for anything.
