In Lviv, Dillon witnessed the wartime effort on behalf of Ukrainian citizens firsthand, from a man leaving his family to fight the invaders to a wallet and purse-maker who is using his skills to construct vests for body armor instead.<\/p>\n<p>One man soon leaving to join the Ukrainian resistance told Dillon that Ukrainians would never accept Russian occupation no matter the result of the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Definitely no,\u201d he said when asked if Ukrainians would ever submit to Russian rule. \u201cWe are too different between each other. There is a huge difference between our peoples. They behave as slaves. We don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One woman told Dillon in broken English about one of her former students who had joined the Ukrainian military and died fighting the Russians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was in the Ukrainian army,\u201d the woman said. \u201cYesterday, we knew about, he was killed at war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe in academy [are] really proud of him because he is our hero and he was brave and he was fight[ing] for our freedom,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainians in Lviv have mobilized to join the war effort, from tradesmen lending their skills to the creation of war goods to facilities renovated into factories for Molotov cocktails and makeshift refugee shelters. One man described the transition to Dillon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn normal life, we do a lot of things here. We have a brewery here where we started with the Molotov cocktails. We have the manufacture here which produce clothing like this,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were doing festivals, we have restaurant here, we have coffee shops. This is the publishing house office we have here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, actually, everybody is doing their best just to, just to do something. To prepare the cocktails, to volunteer, to get the people who are running here from their houses in the east because Lviv is more or less safe for them,\u201d he continued. \u201cSome of them stay here, some of them move to Poland and farther into Europe. And we are preparing food for them and we are preparing something, some humanitarian assistance for them.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/now-im-just-dust-she-was-an-english-teacher-in-ukraine-then-the-rockets-hit\">\u2018Now I\u2019m Just Dust\u2019: She Was An English Teacher In Ukraine.
