For the state, truth isn't someone's personal possession, it belongs to everyone

The truth is always relevant for the state.

For the state, truth isn't someone's personal possession. It belongs to everyone.

The truth in times of war undermines only the weak and deceitful.

The truth makes those who want change strong.

Changes in times of war are needed more than ever, and change begins with defining what is happening to us.

Everyone has their own truth, but the facts that shape our reality are an objective thing.

Universal recognition of the right decisions begins with recognizing the right words.

In developed countries, there are established institutions and expert centers in states and societies. They can adjust their actions through a system of checks and balances, as is now the case in the United States.

The truth is forced into government discussions due to strong political competition.

 Yes, everyone has their own truth, but the facts that shape our reality are objective things.

 Therefore, the presence of a discussion about facts and the truth that is built on them allows you to develop the most appropriate solution.

Publicity in Ukraine is the only catalyst for change.

We don't have all that. Therefore, it is impossible to realize and implement changes in silence because there are no independent institutions in our state, and everything works solely on the motivation and efforts of civil society. Publicity in Ukraine is the only catalyst for change.

If only we could count how many people we lose because of lies...

If we counted how many opportunities were lost and are being lost because instead of changes, there are empty words...

To say that this is no time for truth is to deprive yourself of a future.
