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."
We've got cosmic news for you💫:
👨🚀 @StationCDRKelly, became a #united24 ambassador, presenting🇺🇦with a gift!
Scott Kelly is famous not only for 4 space flights and for setting 2 records, but also for trolling at least 2 kremlin propagandists into oblivion on #Twitter😏 #Space
Scott also has a medical background: he will promote the Medical Aid direction and raise funds for C-class ambulances.
The astronaut has discussed his ideas for supporting🇺🇦during an online meeting with @ZelenskyyUa
To make the fundraiser more interesting, Kelly announced he will be presenting the first ambulance himself, right during the Zoom call.
Welcome to the team, Rocket Man!
We told you we’ve got a cosmic ambassador, didn’t we?
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
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.
We’ve made another 1000 bracelets from the last pre-war batch of #Azovstal plant💪🏽They are inscribed with "I BELIEVE IN THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE," specially for #DefendersDay. 100 of them are personally signed by the Commander-in-Chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi @CinC_AFU, himself.
We will give 80 autographed bracelets to the first participants who donate 100,000+ UAH. The other 20 bracelets with the signature of the Commander-in-Chief, as well as the other 900 without it, will be raffled off among all participants.
Today🇷🇺launched 84 missiles and 24 kamikaze drones on🇺🇦. The enemy is taking its own weakness on the frontline, and turning it into spiteful revenge towards peaceful people.
This is a list of targets that🇷🇺"high-precision" weapons have hit in Kyiv alone👇🏽 #UkraineUnderAttaсk

We'd like to say that no rockets or shelling will break the Ukrainians. They can take away our houses, but not our will for freedom.
We will defend🇺🇦. We will sing under shelling, as the people in Kyiv did today in the subway. We will fight until we win. #UkraineWillWin
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"
