Secularism is a Women’s IssueThe majority of Ukrainians see the need to continue fighting to stop further terror and annexations — at least until we are able to achieve a reasonable diplomatic conclusion. Because if Ukraine surrenders, it is not just surrendering its territories; it is surrendering millions of people who will be left under Russian occupation, where mass killings, rapes, and other kinds of violence are regular occurrences.
