#Yuriy_Ruf dedicated several texts from his latest collection, "Vanilla or Steel?!" to #Ukrainian defenders: soldiers of the #Eastern_Front, as well as volunteers and activists supporting the armed struggle against the #Moscow occupiers.

#Yuriy had no military experience. He wanted to go to defend #Ukraine back in 2015, but at that time, his wife #Iryna was pregnant with their youngest daughter, and this held him back. But already, during the full-scale invasion, Ruf could not sit idly by.
