There’s a lot I want to share about our aid deliveries, but while I’m still gathering my thoughts, I just want to say thank you to @vitalik.eth, the /degen community, and @endaoment donors ⛑️
Because of your support for @crystalhearts, we are able to work on the ground in both Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, delivering much-needed supplies 🇺🇦
The conditions in the pre-frontline areas were as bad as I expected, maybe even worse. The reality of unjammable fiber-optic FPV drones sets in once you’re there, and it becomes painfully clear why so many aid workers and medics are wounded or killed every week, and why getting into certain towns these days is so hard without being hit. At this point, the only way we can get supplies in is with the army’s help.
This war has changed so much, even in just the past few months… and now I have even more clarity on what’s actually necessary and what can really help both medics and defenders 🫂 27 replies

Accepted a big request from the medics: tourniquets, bandages, hemostatics, chest seals, survival blankets, burn dressing kits, evacuation litters, BVMs for manual resuscitation, splints, paramedic shears, medical backpacks - and the list goes on. I’ll be splitting it into parts and sourcing what I can so we can start delivering ⛑️
Something I haven’t mentioned before is every medical request we receive that I share here always includes hundreds of heavy-duty body bags for those who don’t make it, and we always deliver them. When you contribute, you’re also helping our medics, evacuation teams, and military carry out and transport bodies and remains.
What I always think about is that in times of war, receiving a body to bury is a blessing and a form of closure many never get, or only receive years later. Some bodies can’t be retrieved under heavy bombing, and families wait for DNA confirmation, sometimes a year or two later and those under occupation we may never get back. 🫂 6 replies
