Megaphone :verified:Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom: A Struggle Centuries in the Making<br>
<br>
Three years ago, <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Russia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> launched its full-scale invasion of <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Ukraine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>, but as <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/CharlesMcBryde?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharlesMcBryde</a> eloquently explains, this war did not begin in 2022. It is merely the latest chapter in a long history of Russian <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/imperialism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imperialism</a> aimed at erasing <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Ukrainian?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukrainian</a> identity.<br>
<br>
In his powerful video, McBryde traces this oppression back more than a century—from <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Lenin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lenin</a>’s suppression of Ukrainian sovereignty, to the devastating <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Holodomor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Holodomor</a> famine that starved millions, to the Tsarist-era bans on the Ukrainian language and culture. Each era has seen new attempts to subjugate Ukraine, but also unwavering resistance from its people.<br>
<br>
Today, Ukraine continues to fight, not only against Russian aggression but against the world’s indifference. McBryde highlights the hypocrisy of those who blame Ukraine for the war while turning a blind eye to the centuries of oppression that led to it. He calls on all who believe in freedom to stand in <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/solidarity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solidarity</a>, not because Ukraine owes the world anything—but because the world owes Ukraine a debt of courage it can never repay.<br>
<br>
Charles McBryde is a historian and commentator known for his incisive analysis of global conflicts and historical narratives. His work often focuses on debunking misinformation and amplifying the voices of those fighting for self-determination. In this video, he reminds us that Ukraine was expected to fall in three days—but three years later, it is still standing, still resisting, and still fighting for a future free from <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Moscow?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moscow</a>’s rule.<br>
<br>
If you believe in freedom, now is the time to stand with Ukraine.<br>
