Being thousands of kilometres away from my native country, I want to support everyone who is now in tension in their native land, now is the time to unite. This is our country, our history, our culture, our people and our borders. I would like to thank our defenders for their courage. Glory to Ukraine??????," wrote Yaremchuk on Instagram.
