🇺🇦 On December 8, I was invited to an official reception at the Residence of the Ambassador of the United States 🇺🇸. It was a fantastic evening. I could never have thought that here in Japan, I would have the opportunity to meet and communicate with politicians of such a level.
When Serhii Korsunskyi, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Japan, took the microphone, my body was immediately covered in ants. I didn’t even realize how much he did for Japan to actively help our country, so that in the end we were standing here.
✅”When Ukraine wins, there is nothing to return to us, we need to build a new state, that is why you are here. I hope that all students who are currently abroad will return and with the main argument “I saw, it is possible” will apply their experience and build a new Ukraine”.
💕This meeting incredibly inspired me to learn more, use all the opportunities and learn Japanese as soon as possible 🤭, which I am actively doing now.
