The words war, occupation, and genocide are often thrown around as abstract concepts, but they always mean people - human suffering, not just statistics or numbers, but humans with names, stories, and loved ones. This is why we do what we do to help 🫂⛑️🇺🇦 As always, a huge thank you to @vitalik.eth and @endaoment donors for supporting @crystalhearts and helping us make things happen. Because of your donations, we can continue supporting and supplying our medics (who do everything in their power to keep people alive), our defenders (who keep fighting back and resisting despite being extremely outnumbered and outpowered), assist local NGOs with evacuating civilians and helping them during the most vulnerable time, when they make the hard decision to leave their homes and everything behind just to have a chance to survive, and support independent journalists on the ground who aren’t afraid to report from places where no major media is willing to send people anymore 🙏

aside from all the abducted children, adults get kidnapped consistently (many are still in russian captivity). no political and media outrage worldwide over civilians being held captive for years, of course. not that anyone is surprised. https://kyivindependent.com/50-civilians-in-sumy-oblast-abducted-and-forcibly-taken-to-russia-ombudsman-says/

Another day, another russian war crime. Yesterday, russians targeted a clearly marked evacuation vehicle belonging to the UAnimals team that was rescuing animals in the Donetsk region with an FPV drone. Luckily, the volunteers were not injured, but one of the dogs was wounded and taken to a clinic ❤️‍🩹 I continue speaking about this because people outside of Ukraine truly don’t understand the conditions aid workers are operating in, and that absolutely anyone is a target. None of this ever makes international news, so of course people keep saying that “it’s not that bad,” when it fucking is - people just don’t hear enough about it.

This deserves more attention. Yesterday, the UN has voted 153–1 on a resolution ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers and UN personnel. russia and israel predictably abstained, as two countries actively killing aid workers and UN personnel with zero consequences. And the only country that voted against the safety of aid workers was the United States 🤦🏻‍♀️👹 fucking shame.

lol that’s how you do it. russians have been lying about occupying Kupiansk for a while. everyone in Ukraine knows it’s not true, but foreigners don’t. @crystalhearts works with many medics and military on that direction, and I dropped off supplies to them while we were out there. Nice move for Zelenskyy to show up and show the entrance to the city, dangerous as fuck too. That whole road is swarmed with FPV drones and being attacked by aerial bombs consistently. so huge fucking respect for making it out there. https://united24media.com/latest-news/putin-invites-journalists-to-surrounded-ukrainian-forces-in-kupiansk-zelenskyy-shows-up-instead-14230

So many frontline towns and villages in Ukraine are pretty much cut off as the roads are being blown up by guided aerial bombs and FPV drones. Civilians can only rely on medical help from the military, police, and volunteer medical battalions (the same goes for aid workers and press working in the area, as if they get attacked, medical evacuation might take a long time when conditions are bad and attacks are consistent) and I hope the supplies we manage to consistently provide will help save the lives of those wounded in combat and those who become victims of russian war crimes 🫂⛑️ It’s also important to me to be able to see things firsthand and talk to those on the ground and know exactly how we can continue helping effectively as things change drastically very fast, and certain things aren’t needed anymore (medical supplies are needed all the time, of course, and we will keep working hard to provide high-quality medicine).

Some of the photos captured during the delivery in the Donetsk region 🫂⛑️ We are grateful to our defenders and medics for continuing to push back the occupying forces and save the lives of those wounded.

While in the Donetsk region, we personally delivered life-saving medical supplies, as well as a Starlink and power station, some miscellaneous requested supplies (heavy-duty cable ties) and energy drinks to the eastern frontlines on Kostiantynivka direction. This wouldn’t have been possible without @vitalik.eth’s donation 🫂⛑️ The support is so much appreciated, especially while the fundraising is fully stalled, and we continue doing our best to provide supplies where they are needed the most.
