 Celebrations are being held in Ukraine's Kursin to mark one year since the city was retaken from Russian forces. Local citizens are holding Ukrainian flag and posing for a picture while celebrating the city's recapture. As I saw that they were our soldiers, God, what a joy! I was almost falling on my knees, I was kissing, hugging them. Poor guys! And I said, God, we were waiting for you so long, one local resident said. These people here have been through pure hell and they need our support, they need our help. It's not about me, it's about her, him, her, all these people because they've gone through. You can't even imagine. I lived it with them, but they've gone through pure hell and we need to help them. That's the most important thing, Steve, a volunteer from Canada said. Benjamin Duzing, director of humanitarian operations at World Aid Runners, who had joined the celebrations, said he came down to help out after the occupation to help evacuate the ambulatory and just fell in love with these people. These people here have been through pure hell and they need our support, they need our help. You know, it's not about me, it's about her, him, her, all these people today because you know what? They've gone through, you can't even imagine, I've lived it with them, but they've gone through pure hell and we need to help them. And that's the most important thing. Slav, Ukraine! I'm here because I love the people of Ukraine. I've lived here in her son since February, came down to help out after the occupation to help evacuate the non-ambulatory and just fell in love with these people. Slav, Ukraine!
