This is possible not only in Ukraine.
This is possible because of 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝.
But today, this is happening on our land. 🇺🇦
Her name is 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐚.
An actress of the Lesya Ukrainka National Drama Theater.
She changed the stage for the trench.
She changed costumes for a uniform.
She traded applause for the sound of artillery.
Maria graduated from the Kyiv National University of Theater, Cinema and Television.
She played leading roles in productions such as “The Master,” “The Jacaranda Blossom,” “Behind Closed Doors,” and “The Ladies’ Tailor.”
A brilliant, talented actress.
And yet — she left it all.
She left the life she had built.
She left the world of art she loved…
to defend our world, our home, our country.
As a psychologist and co-founder of the NGO Ukrainian Psychology Center THE SOUL, I have the honor of working with women who serve in Ukraine’s Armed Forces. I cannot speak about the nature of that work. But I can say this, from the depths of my heart:
𝐓𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 — 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
Thank you for your brave hearts.
Thank you for your courageous choice.
Thank you for leaving your careers in IT, communications, law, finance, management… and choosing instead to defend Ukraine.
We will never be able to repay you.
But know this: we are 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
We pray for you. We stand with you.
Please, to everyone reading this:
𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡.
Ukrainian women, men, children, doctors, teachers, musicians are dying in this brutal war russia started.
When you stand with Ukraine, you stand for peace.
When you support Ukraine, you protect life.
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚, 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞. ❤️
We will not forget your sacrifice. We will not forget you.

Thank you Maria Agapitova, and all the men and women who are defending not only Ukraine, but freedom across all of Europe. We owe you more than we could possibly repay.

What a truly fabulous message! – underlining as it does, how Beauty can self-deploy to defeat the Beast! Europe must rise up to support ALL the Ladies like Maria, and ALL Ukrainians – for their exemplary courage and commitment!
I call upon our European Leaders to read the above note and to reflect HARD – but NOT long and hard! There is NO better time to crush the ruZZian threat than NOW. Thank you Mariya Vynnytska for your beautiful ‘call to arms’! It deserves to be seen by Ursula von der Leyen Roberta Metsola Kaja Kallas Jaanika Merilo Giorgia Meloni Rt Hon Rachel Reeves Beate Meinl-Reisinger as well as by Keir Starmer Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron.
