This group is dedicated entirely to the Ukrainian people who suffers from the WAR that Russian president Valdimir Vladimirovits Putin started on thursday Feb. 24th 2022 (24.2.2022).

"Glory to Ukraine!" is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2018. It is often accompanied by the response "Glory to the heroes!".

The phrase first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century in different variations, when it became very popular among Ukrainians during the Ukrainian War of Independence from 1917 to 1921.From the 1930s it was used by different Ukrainian nationalist groups, most notably Stepan Bandera's Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and Ukrainian Insurgent Army, and it was later also used by Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities in The West during the Cold War. In the Soviet Union the phrase was forbidden, and Soviet and later Russian authorities attempted to discredit it. The phrase resurfaced in Ukraine during the country's struggle for independence in connection with the fall of the Soviet Union, and was used by Bill Clinton in 1995. It saw renewed use during the Russo-Ukrainian War from 2014, when it became a popular symbol of democracy and Ukrainian independence. According to the Ukrainian Association of Football "Glory to Ukraine" is a commonly used greeting in Ukraine. In 2018 "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!" became the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by a decree of President Petro Poroshenko.

It has gained worldwide prominence as a symbol of resistance during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and was set to music by the Norwegian Armed Forces' official composer Marcus Paus. It has also been used in protests in support of Ukraine around the world. It has been used in speeches by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as many foreign leaders such as Ursula von der Leyen, Boris Johnson, Mark Rutte, Andrej Plenković and Jacinda Ardern.
