This video from my friend Sergei shows evacuation of wounded soldier. Imagine what this soldier must have felt: being injured, lying somewhere in the field, thinking that it’s probably his last day and then seeing Sergei’s team arrive to rescue. True angels #UkraineFrontLines 1/8
My friend Sergei and his team are paramedics in the #Hospitallers battalion. They are volunteers and it means that they are not getting paid for their work and 100% rely on donations.
We recently fundraised for a Starlink for Sergei. I asked him how much they pay for Starlink subscription (because nothing is free, no matter how much Musk wants you to believe that this is a charity, it’s not).
Sergei said: $60 per month. I asked how much they spend on gas monthly and he said: $300-$400 per month (for a car and a generator). I asked who pays for that, he said: we pay, from our savings and from money that our friends and relatives send.
He said that they have some cards that they can use at gas stations provided by Hospitallers management, but they work only at particular gas stations and not always.
This video shows their team on a rescue mission when their car was hit by landmine explosion. Luckily they weren’t injured. Just one accident among many that was captured on camera. They are risking their lives every day to save the lives of other people. #ukrainecounteroffensive
What Sergei and his team do - it’s very dangerous and very important. They save countless lives and each life is priceless. If you want to support Sergei and help him to pay Starlink subscription and buy gas: please donate via PayPal: doc.sergeiandreevich@gmail.com #UkrainianArmy
If you could contribute monthly (even a few $) - it will be a huge help for them. Thank you!
Thank you everyone who donated or is planning to donate to Sergei! He messaged me that he didn’t expect this support and that he thought that no one really cares about Ukraine anymore 🥺 Your donations and kind wishes made him very emotional. Thank you! #UkrainianArmy
Please consider donating monthly if you can, even a few $, it will make huge difference for his unit 🙏 Sergei’s PayPal: doc.sergeiandreevich@gmail.com

Talked to my mom today. She lives in 🇵🇱 and she is friends with one elderly Polish lady. She told my mom that she was 5y.o. when #russians came to her city on their way to Germany during WW2. She remembers vividly how people were shouting:“russians are coming, hide the girls!”1/3
Her grandma hid her in a closet, then covered her young aunt with mattresses and blankets. When #russians came to their house and demanded to show them daughters, grandma laid on the pile of blankets with her daughter underneath, lifted her skirt and said: “Take me instead.”
This elderly lady was crying telling this story, my mom was crying telling me about that and I was crying listening to it. This is a generational trauma caused by #russians. 🇷🇺 never acknowledged it, never said sorry. Now they are doing the same to 🇺🇦 #RussiaIsATerroristState
I want to share with you a wonderful 🇺🇦 volunteer group “Stanislavsky borsch” that makes borscht and other dehydrated soups and sends it to #UkrainianArmy. They are a 100% volunteer led initiative and fully rely on donations to buy ingredients. PayPal: vashpartner2010@gmail.com🧵
They provide warm food for #UkrainianArmy which is especially important now as the weather is getting colder. They make about 10 different kinds of soup, both with meat and without it. There are many vegetarian and vegan soldiers in the 🇺🇦 army and they make soups for everyone.
Their entire community has come together over this initiative. Residents of Ivano-Frankivsk donate produce when they can. People donated equipment (food processors, dehydrators). Every day different people drop by, take veggies to dehydrate in their own homes and bring them back.
