365 days. A year. Eternity 💔
On March 20, 2022, in his apartment in temporarily occupied Kherson, Nisar Ahmad made the first blue-and-yellow ribbon. Nisar tied it to a tree in the Island neighborhood. Then, residents watched as the occupiers tried to remove the ribbon, one of them fell and injured his leg. But that first ribbon became not just a symbol, but a real weapon against the enemy.
Nisar, together with his volunteer friends, started an underground resistance movement that has been working in the occupied territories for a year now.
“I dedicated all my free time to making new batches of ribbons. Then I went out on the street and watched as the residents of Kherson, with tears in their eyes, looking around so the occupiers wouldn’t see, took photos on their phones. I thought: it’s not in vain!” – Nisar shares his memories.
Now, the blue-and-yellow ribbon is a symbol of Kherson region’s unbreakable spirit, a symbol of the brave people of Kherson, known even beyond the borders of Ukraine 💙💛
Looking at the photo, one can see today’s atmosphere on the streets of the temporarily occupied left bank. If necessary, our people will fight for every meter of our native land. Because they know what they’re fighting for! 🇺🇦
Kherson region will not surrender!
You will not defeat the people of Kherson! 💪🏼
