Go Ukraina

Four years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Four years of resilience, sacrifice, and national will.

At the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles, we gathered for an evening of remembrance grounded in documented truth.

An official photo exhibition, using materials provided by the Office of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights (Office of the Ombudsman of Ukraine), presented verified images from prisoner exchanges — Ukrainian soldiers and civilians returning from russian captivity. We also witnessed documented scenes of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to reunite children unlawfully deported by russia with their families. These are documented realities, not rhetoric.

American veterans currently serving in defense of Ukraine were present that evening. They came to Los Angeles to honor their fallen brother, Hayden Fischer Miller, an American veteran killed in action on October 9, 2025, while fighting for Ukraine.

His body has been located; however, it remains in a contested gray zone along the front line and cannot be evacuated at this time due to ongoing combat conditions. Recovery will proceed as soon as conditions permit.

His sacrifice reflects a commitment to freedom that transcends nationality.

We also continued the distribution of “Jingle Bellz,” the memoir of former Ukrainian POW Oleksii Anulia — a firsthand testimony preserving evidence, memory, and accountability.

We extend our gratitude to the Ukrainian Cultural Center of Los Angeles for its steadfast partnership in defending truth and preserving memory.

Remembrance is responsibility.
Truth matters.
And the work continues.

Ukraine stands strong.
Ukraine brings its people home.
Ukraine will prevail.

This Memorial Day, we honor two extraordinary American veterans — JERICHO MAGALLON and ETHAN HERTWECK — two bright souls who crossed an ocean to stand with a nation fighting for its survival.
They didn’t have to come to Ukraine.
But they did — not out of obligation, but out of courage, compassion, and a deep sense of justice.
Jericho and Ethan gave their lives not for a country of their birth, but for a cause they believed in: the freedom and independence of the Ukrainian people. In doing so, they became more than volunteers. They became heroes of two nations. Ukraine will never forget them.
Their names are etched into our collective memory — not only in monuments or on gravestones, but in the hearts of every Ukrainian who understands what true sacrifice means.
Ukrainian children will one day learn about Jericho and Ethan in their schoolbooks.
They will grow up knowing that brave souls from across the world came to defend their future. These stories will not fade — they will shape a new generation who knows what solidarity, bravery, and honor look like.
And today, we also remember and honor all American heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine. Those who left behind comfort, safety, and familiarity to walk beside us in our darkest hours. Each of them carried not only a weapon, but a message:
Freedom is worth defending — anywhere.
Their courage crossed borders. Their sacrifice transcended language.
They came as allies. They remain as legends.

May God bless their souls.
May God bless their families.
And may God bless America — for raising sons and daughters like them.

Their legacy lives on.
Two flags, one fight.
Forever remembered.
Forever honored. 🕯️🤍🇺🇸🇺🇦
