"I asked russians not to blow it up, there was no need for that. They did what they did. One day, we were on our way to get humanitarian aid, and I saw people from the bridge-building unit. I ran there: what are you going to do? And they said: we are going to rebuild your bridge"

Liubov Ivanivna, a district Headwoman in Kherson Oblast, recalls how difficult this year was for the community. After the occupiers destroyed the bridge across the Inhulets River in May 2022, life seemed to freeze. The residents did not believe it would be rebuilt, and many left.

However, since yesterday, the new bridge is open to everyone. This happened thanks to #UNITED24's regular partner AWT Bavaria as well as the efforts of the State Special Transport Service.
Together, we are strong.

@jfliter

Meet Julieta @jfliter, a #UNITED24 donor and #NAFO Fella . She joined the #SquaDrone fundraiser for UAVs to aid @DI_Ukraine, funded an entire drone, and named it Rosa&Moises, honoring her great-grandparents. Julieta lives in Chile🇨🇱, but has Ukrainian roots🇺🇦👇

Rosa (in the 2nd photo, the only one that survived) and Moises are Jewish emigrants from Odesa who moved to Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century. There, they opened a mirror and crystal factory. The family always told Juliet that they came from Ukraine.

“Helping Ukraine fight for their freedom and peace is the best way to honor the memory of our ancestors, and to make a good cause on itself. I long for the day that I can visit a free, peaceful, fully democratic Ukraine”

Thank you Julieta! We are looking forward to your visit!

This is Tetyana. She has been a paramedic for over 35 years, and now she is working in one of the most dangerous regions of Ukraine, Donetsk Oblast.
Her daily tasks include blood transfusions, rescuing people with shrapnel wounds, and even amputations.
#UNITED24

Recently, Tetyana’s emergency team received an ambulance purchased with your donations via U24.
Thanks to modern equipment, they have managed to save a woman in Donetsk Oblast. Due to🇷🇺shelling, her leg had been severed from her body as she was going about her daily business.

This life-saving operation was made possible thanks to your contributions towards ambulances. Support our cosmic ambassador Scott Kelly’s fundraiser. Only $20,000 left to close it: donorbox.org/scottkelly

@ZelenskaUA

These are 32 C-type ambulances. The largest batch was purchased under @ZelenskaUA initiative, thanks to donations made via #united24.
One such ambulance will save hundreds of lives. And here's how👇🏽

📍The portable ALV is suitable for stabilizing both adults and infants. It provides positive pressure during breathing and has a spirometer to determine the patient's breathing capacity.

📍A modern, sensitive capnograph helps the paramedic analyze the condition of ALV-bound patients, aiding the diagnosis of potentially dangerous complications. With this level of monitoring, the ambulance is a true mobile resuscitation station.

@StationCDRKelly

Did you know that @StationCDRKelly is not only a #NASA record-holder and a #USNavy captain, but also a former medic? That’s one of the reasons he supports 🇺🇦medical workers.
Here's what the Rocket Man said himself👇🏽
#united24

"In my youth, I worked in emergency medical care as an EMT and ambulance driver and saw with my own eyes how timely medical assistance can save people's lives. Later, as an astronaut, I always performed the role of medical officer in space so medical care is important to me."

"Ukrainian doctors and medical personnel today are real heroes, performing miracles daily and in unbelievably challenging and dangerous conditions. I consider it my duty to support Ukraine as they defend democracy against Russian aggression."

What is Armtrac 400 capable of?🤔
Here are some facts and numbers about the largest and most efficient demining vehicle in its class, which was purchased thanks to your donations via #united24 👇🏽

✅ Armtrac's 3-meter hydraulic rotor allows for the clearing of over 2400 m2 of territory per hour, and neutralizing explosive remnants at a depth of 55 cm.

✅ Its durable construction protects the vehicle against anti-tank mines weighing up to 10 kg.

✅ Operated remotely from up to 800 meters away, ensuring the complete safety of the operator.

✅The cost of the acquired Armtrac 400 is 18,167,723 UAH.

U24

The 1st Armtrac 400 is in Ukraine!
Thanks to your donations, the world's largest and most effective demining vehicle was purchased over the summer. Today, it started working.
Ukrainian bomb technicians learned how to drive the powerful machine from British instructors.
#united24

Armtrac 400 traveled across🇺🇦to the liberated Kharkiv region. At a presentation, operators showed the process of detecting and defusing mines, by grinding them with Armtrac's rotor. They also showed projectiles removed by deminers and carried out a demo detonation of a projectile

@dsszzi

According to representatives of the @dsszzi, bomb technicians defuse between 1,000 to 1,500 munitions every day. The new demining vehicle will help to do this faster, better and, most importantly, with less risk to life.

Meet Lill Irene Simonsen, a radiographer at University Hospital in Oslo and one of 24,000 friends of Ukraine. She donates via #united24 monthly for $24, as she believes Ukrainians are fighting not only for their own country, but also for the values of the democratic world.

"During these 7 months this war has raged, I have had the privilege to get to know more Ukrainian people and they are all wonderful. I have supported a family in Kyiv for months to help them in life with rent and food. They got a baby 9 days before the war began"

"Such a lovely family. They help me learn Ukrainian language and culture. I have also collected some hospital equipment and sent that through the Ukrainian Embassy in Norway to Kharkiv and some boxes of hygienic articles and food through the postal service"

We've been waiting for this project for several months, and now we are proud to present 'Azovstal. A Symbol of Perseverance', a bracelet made from the last pre-war batch of steel manufactured at the legendary Azovstal plant. #Azovstal #united24

In the spring of 2022, the Azovstal plant of the Metinvest Group became the last defensive fortress of Mariupol, and was nearly destroyed by the enemy. But this didn't break the will of Ukrainians. Today, Azovstal is a symbol of perseverance of an entire people.

By buying this bracelet, you're helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 100% of profits from their sales will be transferred via #united24 to the #ArmyOfDrones to strengthen Ukraine's defenders on the front lines.
