The Humor of Ukrainians

And I've spoken to members of my family who are just bewildered by this you know how can they be so humorous when their country is being destroyed. You know it's not the first time that someone or namely Russia has been trying to wipe us from existence and Ukrainians historically are not the luckiest nation, he says.
