🇺🇦 Ukrainian patriot, volunteer, environmentalist, feminist, regional sustainable development enthusiast with around 30 years of working experience in various spheres, walking my journey side-by-side with great people.

​I wasn’t searching for words for an epic tale... My body armor protects what is whole - A heart that craves silence, love, and peace. In ears of wheat, I see childhood’s hail, In eyes, I see dawns that will never cease. You witness the weapons, you witness the strain, But here in this field, it’s life I sustain. I just want to go where my home used to be, With no bitter regrets left inside of me. I am a kind soul - it’s the choice I must make, For nothing can extinguish the light I possess. I'm here for our wounded spirits' sake, To scatter the darkness, the smoke, and distress. ​Olesya Pavlyuk, soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, from Rakhiv 🇺🇦 128th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade "Wild Field"
