First Parish of Sudbury’s Voices of Democracy presentation, “Eight Weeks in Ukraine: Resilience and Resistance,” was extremely informative and very well attended by First Parish members and the greater community. Sudbury resident Tania Vitvitsky, president of the Ukrainian Charitable Platform, shared her powerful firsthand experience and inspired the audience with her message of remaining determined and cultivating joy even in the face of war.
In August and September 2025, Ms. Vitvitsky spent eight weeks in Ukraine observing how everyday people are responding to the ongoing war in their homeland. Using original slides to illustrate the beauty and rich cultural heritage of Ukraine, she shared her observations of the strength and resilience of Ukrainian people at all levels of society and discussed the many ways they are waging a determined resistance to the anti-democratic forces threatening their sovereignty and way of life.
