Excerpts of the speech of Kira Rudik, Member of Parliament, Leader of the Voice Party of Ukraine, at the Free Iran 2022, is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear friends, thank you so much for this warm welcome. It means a world to me. When I first spoke to you, it was one of the first days of the war. At that moment, I decided to arm myself and bore a gun as a sign of all Ukrainian people willing to defend our country, to defend it with our own lives. The war is not over right now and that we have to continue fighting, and we will continue fighting till the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m here today to share some of the lessons that we learned. The first lesson is the pain. The pain that you feel when you learn about how many children are killed every single day. And it\u2019s more than 400 children that have been killed over four and a half months of war. It is the price that we are paying for our country to exist, for our people to continue being free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is in a normal price. It is killing myself every single day. It is like crying inside and out, and I do not know what can stop this pain. The second lesson is the lesson of unity. We learned that you can only fight, and you can only win if you are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know, since the beginning of the war, we have received so much support from all over the world, from the people that we never met, from the people we do not know who were sending us their love support, from the countries who were indifferent to us, who now are sending us weapons, money, humanitarian support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
