This project is called Ukraine: People's cut.
It's because that's exactly what Ukrainian people do now:
CUT A NEW DIAMOND OUT OF STONE.

Each and every cut reveals the new Ukraine and what it stands for: DIGNITY as our motivator to move forward, FREEDOM as an existential need and CREATIVITY which is indispensable for our mindset.

This website is a tool of crowd-cutting: we shape the new Ukraine with facts representing these virtues. We started with the facts we find the most important.

The project is supported by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine, and StratComUA agency. We've started it, you're very welcome to continue.
