A: Hey there! Heard any news recently?
B: Not much, just been working. Why? What's up?
A: Well, I heard about President Zelenskyy's speech on the Defenders' Day in Ukraine.
B: Oh, really? What did he say?
A: He called for unity and continued resistance against Russia. It's a day to honor their armed forces, active and fallen.
B: Wow, that sounds intense. Was there any emotional moment during the ceremony?
A: Yes, indeed! Family members of those killed in battle gathered at Independence Square to pray silently. One man in his 30s lost his younger brother and said it was unbearable and a very big loss. He hopes the war ends soon so their soldiers didn't die in vain.
B: That's so sad... I can't even imagine. How long has this been going on?
A: It's been over three years since Russia invaded, but peace talks or truces seem to be stuck. Russian forces keep attacking Kyiv and other places with missiles and drones, aiming to take control of Donetsk and other parts of Ukraine.
B: That's horrible... I hope it ends soon for the sake of all those people. Let's send them our support and positive thoughts.
