Anastasia was born and spent most of her life in Khmelnytskyi, a city that seemed rather passive to her. In 2023, she learned about USF (Ukrainian Students for Freedom) and decided that it could give both her city and herself a breath of fresh air. And that’s exactly what happened: Anastasia joined the community during PL-24. Now 18 years old, she is studying in Lviv, actively working on the development of the Khmelnytskyi chapter, and engaging in volunteer activities.

Freedom is a weapon, and weapons must be respected. Ukrainian students have always been the driving force behind change, as their actions often laid the foundation for societal transformation. Young people not only have the power to talk about change, but also to act on it. The Ukrainian Students for Freedom (USF) holds the largest concentration of such youth.
