Book presentation

Where did Ukraine draw the resources to think, organize, maintain defense? How does one deal with armed aggression, when one has neither the best army in the world, nor economic and political power, nor a solid state? When the time came, Ukraine drew its greatest strength from its weaknesses. The foundations of the resistance of 2022 were laid in 2014 and in the years that followed, so that behind every weapon there would be a Ukrainian ready to fight, and many others ready to organize and support the fight.
