"Winter 2013 changed Ukraine. 3 months of bloody clashes, tears, fear, Molotov cocktails, burning car tires and several deaths. It wasn’t just a protest in the support of EU. The Ukrainian revolution brought a new spirit, changed the people and their minds, they became one organism that fights with great passion and intensity for a happy future." (VIA FAPA)
