Even if Ukraine is given "a few days" again, not all forecasts come true, says Orest Drimalovsky.

We did not give up when we were given three days, while the American embassy was packing its bags.

We did not surrender our capital when elite Russian units were in its suburbs.

We pushed the enemy back from Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy. We defeated them in the Kharkiv region. We liberated Kherson. And we bogged them down in battles in Donbas, which the enemy has been unable to capture for three years.

We invented FPV. And with drones costing $500, we destroyed more than half of their armored capabilities.

We paralyzed the Russian navy.

We destroyed dozens of oil refineries.

We forced the enemy to burn entire brigades for the sake of a single village, to fight with crippled units, to switch to donkeys, and to become artillery-dependent on the Koreans, while being economically reliant on the Chinese.

For the first time in history, we entered the territory of a nuclear state to compel the aggressor to peace.

And despite the difficulties, we did not crumble; we maintained our control.

We gained subjectivity.

At a high cost.

Perhaps we are the last adults in this turbulent world. And no matter how hard they try to shake our ship or undermine our inner resilience – we will write our own future.

And even if we are given just a few days again, it does not mean that all forecasts will come true.
