‘USF aren’t just an opportunity, they are a new page in life. This is more than a community of proactive youth, it is about a real association. I am inspired to be surrounded by like-minded people with similar values ​​and I hope to continue to carry this flame of Freedom. Ukrainians know about the importance of Freedom, and for every person in the world it is the greatest value even without it. I am happy to be part of an organization that is driving change.’
