Our Darkest Hour
By: Giorgio Provinciali
Live from Ukraine ????????
Before this message reaches its recipients, electricity and a decent connectivity will have to be restored.
I write it anyway, as do many others who have become accustomed to this darkness, hoping that our good Medium friends will be able to share it.
Ukraine has withstood bombardments of up to 1,000 bombs at a time for 1,370 endless days and nights. As its President, the leader of the Resistance, stated, from then on and throughout this entire period,those who fired at us saw not our backs but our eyes. Proud, free, and resilient.
By discrediting him and pressuring him to give in to blackmail, todaynew hostile forces are pushing Ukraine into even greater darkness.
Seriously, they come from that so-called free world that Ukraine defends, withundeserved accusations and threats.
Since arriving in Ukraine,I have met heroes. Among civilians, soldiers, and even clerics people who encounter every day and, faced with extraordinary events, find courage and strength greater than the challenges themselves. People of all ages, genders, and backgrounds who defend the same values for which my grandfather fought among Italian Resistance fighters opposing nazifascism.
Bearing his name and testimony,I could only find their modern size here.
It has been an honor for me to share the journey of these people, of which I am now proud to be a part, toward the affirmation of the same values my grandfather fought for.
Independence and freedom are non-negotiable.
However,some people from afar have become so accustomed to those absolute values that they take them for granted. When facing colluding criminals trying to force a mans surrender, there are even those who blame the victim, reserving words that should be theirs.
Being on the side of Ukraines, that is, of the free world, today means knowing how to look beyond. Remaining united, knowing how to walk through times of war at a different pace than those living in peace.
Facing existential challenges requires cohesion and capability. Using common sense to define priorities and then act. Strong, resolute, unfailing.
A united Ukraine supported from outside is a defeat for those trying to subjugate it. Feuds, divisions, and accusations strengthen the divisive forces on both the Ukrainian and Western fronts.
Staying on a ship during a storm is hard. Keeping a steady helm is even harder. And yet, a multitude of external spectators dispense instructions from safe harbors on how to do so. If they had shown the same enthusiasm in defining the correct coordinates for their crews, maybe such dangerous changes in direction wouldnt be needed today.
With their vote or by abstaining from exercising that right altogether American and European citizens have shaped much of the course of events. Much could have been prevented by investing in information so that propaganda would not contaminate it.
Day and night, Ive walked miles to prevent this from happening, but Ive seen fewer and fewer people willing to do the same around me.
I believe that,in their own small way, everyone can contribute by preventing fake news from spreading. Everyone has the tools to do so, even without coming here.
On the day Ukraine celebrates dignity, freedom, and independence, my plea from the trenches of democracy is to remember how these values are shared victories in a world whose borders are protected here with weapons, but which each of us can and must defend, even from afar, with the tools we have.
Слава Укра?н?????????????

我們最黑暗的時刻
作者：Giorgio Provinciali
烏克蘭前線報道????????
在這條信息到達接收者之前，必須先恢複電力和良好的網絡連接。
和許多已經習慣於這種黑暗中的人一樣，希望我們在Medium上的好朋友能夠分享我們的文字，所以我還是要寫下這段話。
烏克蘭已經經曆了1,370個高達1,000枚炸彈同時轟炸的無盡的日夜。正如其總統、抵抗運動的領袖所說，從那時起，在這整個過程中，襲擊我們的人所看到的不是我們的背影，而是我們的眼睛，驕傲、自由且堅韌不拔。
通過抹黑他並施壓迫使他屈服於敲詐，今天新的敵對勢力正在將烏克蘭推向更深的黑暗。
說真的，他們來自烏克蘭帶著不應得的指控和威脅所捍衛的所謂自由世界，。

自從來到烏克蘭，我遇到了許多英雄。無論是平民、士兵，還是神職人員這些人每天都在麵對非凡的事件，找到超越挑戰的勇氣和力量。他們來自各個年齡、性別和背景的人們，捍衛著與我祖父在反對納粹法西斯主義的意大利抵抗運動中所奮鬥的相同價值觀。
承載著他的名字和見證，我隻能在這裏找到他們的現代意義。
能與這些人的共享一段旅程，我感到非常榮幸，現在我為能成為其中的一部分而自豪，朝著我祖父所為之奮鬥的相同價值觀邁進。
獨立和自由是不可妥協的。
然而，遙遠世界的一些人已經習慣於這些絕對的價值觀，以至於將其視為理所當然。在麵對勾結的罪犯試圖迫使一個人投降時，甚至有些人責怪受害者，把本該屬於他們的話語留給自己。

支持烏克蘭，也就是支持自由世界，意味著今天要懂得超越眼前的局限。要團結一致，學會在戰爭時期以不同於和平時期的步伐前行。
麵對生存的挑戰需要凝聚力和能力。善用常識來定義優先事項，然後采取行動。堅強、果斷，始終如一。
一個得到外部支持的團結的烏克蘭是試圖征服它的人的失敗。內訌、分裂和指責隻會增強割裂烏克蘭和西方陣營的力量。
風暴中留在船上是很難的，保持穩定的舵則更難。然而，眾多的外部觀眾卻從安全的港口裏發號施令，告訴我們該如何做。如果他們在為自己的船員確定正確航向時表現出同樣的熱情，那麽今天就不需要在如此危險中改變航向了。

通過投票或者完全放棄行使這一權利美國和歐洲的公民塑造了許多事件的發展。通過投資於信息避免宣傳混淆事實，很多事情本可以避免。
日複一日，我已經身體力行、防止這種情況發生，但我周圍願意這樣做的人卻越來越少。
我相信，每個人都能以自己的微小努力，為防止假新聞傳播作出貢獻。每個人都有能力做到這一點，甚至不需要親自來這裏。

在烏克蘭慶祝尊嚴、自由和獨立的日子，我在民主的戰壕中懇求大家記住，這些價值觀在這個世界上是共同的勝利，而這個世界的邊界正在用武器來捍衛著，但我們每個人都可以並且必須，即使是遠遠地，也要用我們擁有的工具來進行捍衛。
榮耀屬於烏克蘭????????????
