by This photo was taken in Odesa, but a similar scene can be seen in any city of Ukraine. The Maserati MC20 Cielo is a luxurious supercar worth over 300 thousand euros, embodying technology, speed, and prestige. And next to it—an old, rusty “Pobeda,” which has long lost its mobility and purpose but still stands.
Eye-catching contrasts. Contrasts that speak louder than any news.
Yes, Ukraine is a country of contrasts. Perhaps only here can soldiers in uniform and TikTok stars in Prada sit at 10 tables in a restaurant. But the main thing in this picture is neither luxury nor poverty. Nor is it the contradiction between the past and the future. Because if Ukraine is waiting for some “Pobeda” today—it is definitely not this one. Not the Soviet one, not the fake one, not the rusty one.
We are waiting for a real Victory. The one we are fighting for. The one that will not be parked under a pole but earned, endured, and won.
