Winter on Fire Page #6

I hate myself for...

When you resuscitate one...

and people continue bringing

more and more victims...

you understand that

you might save that one,

but the others can be lost.

Bullet wounds are life-threatening.

You close someone's eyes and make

a decision to stop resuscitating him.

Then you move to the next victim.

Having to decide who was already dead,

that was the hardest thing.

-Glory to Ukraine!

-Glory to the heroes!

-Glory to the nation!

-Death to our enemies!

-Ukraine!

-Above all!

I can't accept...

after all the wars we've had in the world,

we are still resolving our problems

by killing each other.

We lost here...

the best people of our nation.

Forever in our hearts.

We paid a huge price.

I want to thank you...

Convict out!

Convict out!

We heard what our so-called leaders

agreed to with the government...

What happened today at

the Parliament was important.

...to have new elections in December.

I remember my father told me,

"This is our end...

Who wasn't killed, will be killed.

Who wasn't in prison, will go to prison."

Today was a small victory.

A small victory because of you.

I realized that

we couldn't leave it like that.

Our friends that we've lost

would not forgive us

if we accepted those terms

from the government.

-Glory to Ukraine!

-Glory to the heroes!

Here's what I want to say.

We're ordinary people, talking

to these politicians standing behind me.

Yanukovych will not be

the president for one more year!

Tomorrow by 10:
00 a.m.,

he must resign!

Resign! Resign!

My compatriot was shot down!

He had a wife and a baby!

And our "leaders"

shake hands with these murderers!

Shame on them!

Shame on them!

Shame on them!

I speak to you on behalf of my entire

Defense Unit that my father joined too.

If tomorrow by 10:00 a.m.

you do not make a statement

about Yanukovych's resignation,

I swear, we will go on

an armed offensive!

I ask you, dear colleagues,

to vote.

The Ukrainian parliament,

expressing the will

of the Ukrainian nation, declares,

first, the President of Ukraine,

Viktor Yanukovych,

has resigned in an unconstitutional way,

and will not be fulfilling

the duties of the president.

Second, schedule early

presidential election

for May 25, 2014.

Third, this resolution comes into effect

from the moment of its adoption.

328 lawmakers voted in favor.

The resolution is adopted!

For 23 years, we only had

our independence on paper.

But now, so many people sacrificed

their lives that it has become real.

Maidan was a small territory

that held great bravery.

For the future of our children,

people were prepared to die.

Even those who had

no children of their own.

The people came out

and showed that we have the power.

Muslims. Jews, Christians

of different denominations, Buddhists,

and people who don't

subscribe to a particular faith,

treated each other with respect.

And I can say that

a new society was born.

-Glory to Ukraine!

-Glory to the heroes!

We were born in the '90s,

we were born in

an independent Ukraine,

we know the borders of our country,

we understand the meaning

of word "patriotism".

Glory to the heroes!

It's an amazing generation

that grew up during the independence.

They grew up as free people.

No one can make a free person kneel.

Maidan was a singular experience,

when everyone felt real unity,

real patriotism,

and felt the presence of God.
