"Tse nashe" translates to "it's ours" in Ukrainian, a phrase that embodies a sense of ownership and connection. It signifies not just physical possessions but also the profound bonds that tie a people to their homeland. It's about our land, our cities, our soldiers who defend it, our artillery that protects it, our homes where we find solace, our families who provide strength, our culture that defines our identity, our freedom that we cherish, and ultimately, our beloved country that unites us all in a shared sense of belonging and heritage.
