What Ukraine would look like without the war: a video from the 'Liut' brigade for Independence Day
The National Police of Ukraine's 'Liut' (Fury) brigade has presented a touching video dedicated to the 35th anniversary of our state's independence. In the clip, the creators attempted to imagine what a festive day in 2026 might have looked like if Ukraine had never faced aggression from the Russian Federation.
In the video work, the authors showcased an alternative reality where Ukrainian culture and art develop freely on the world stage. Specifically, viewers were shown scenes in which paintings by the prominent Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko are exhibited at the Louvre in Paris, and film director Oleksandr Dovzhenko receives a prestigious Oscar award.
This project became a way to honor Ukrainian identity and remind everyone of our country's enormous potential. The video emphasizes that Ukrainians are a people with a rich history who strive for creativity, development, and a peaceful life in their own independent state.
Despite the fact that reality today is significantly more difficult due to the full-scale war, such initiatives help Ukrainians maintain faith in the future. The video from the 'Liut' brigade has become a symbol of resilience and a reminder of exactly what our defenders are fighting for on the front lines.
