Petra has always been one of the most sincere supporters of Ukraine, in every sense and on every level. The situation with the tourniquets is genuinely painful, and she has learned from it.

So much filth, bullying, and abuse has been thrown at her. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Why can’t people simply give constructive advice and politely explain what the problem is? Why does everything have to descend into humiliation and personal attacks???

I want everyone who bullied Petra to apologize to her immediately. She did not deserve to be treated this way.

That is my word on this.

Petra, I will always be there for you. I will always stand with you.

In my humble opinion, NAFO should stay the fuck out of internal Ukrainian politics and concentrate on the big picture of harm, at all costs, to russia.

Allow Ukrainians space to deal with domestic issues. They don’t need NAFO to step in here.

Our efforts are needed elsewhere.

To teraz Wam opowiem o tym, jak jest dzisiaj na Ukrainie, jak ja ją zobaczyłem, moimi oczami. Ukrainę, o której ignoranci mówią, że „nie ma tam wojny”.

Pierwszy szok:
Przejeżdżam granicę polsko-ukraińską i już na pierwszym mijanym cmentarzu widzę las powiewających ukraińskich flag, zatkniętych przy nagrobnych krzyżach żołnierzy, którzy oddali życie w walce z ruskim okupantem. Ten widok powtarza sie na każdym mijanym cmentarzu.

Cala masa grobów ludzi, którzy zginęli, zatrzymując rosyjską armię wiele kilometrów od polskiej granicy.

Drugi szok:
Ukraina jest jak ul. Wszędzie trwają prace. Tu budują nowe drogi, tam prace w polu, gdzie indziej z ciężarówek sprzedawane są wielkie arbuzy.

Jakże inny jest to kraj od tego, który odwiedzałem przed wojną. Jakby wszyscy byli w ciągłym ruchu i jakby wszyscy wiedzieli, że mimo wojny trzeba żyć dalej.

Trzeci szok:
Zameldowałem się w hotelu, odebrałem kartę do pokoju, rozpakowałem się i zorientowałem się, że nie mam kabla do telefonu.

Wróciłem więc do recepcji zapytać, czy może mają jakiś kabel, który mogliby mi pożyczyć?

Pani z recepcji oddała mi swój.
Chwilę porozmawialiśmy. O tym, jak teraz jest z gośćmi, że mają głównie Ukraińców, że Polaków jest jak na lekarstwo itd.

I na koniec powiedziała coś, co mnie zwyczajnie zawstydziło.

Zaczęła mi dziękować.

Za to, co Polacy zrobili w 2022 roku. Za to, jak przyjęliśmy Ukraińców uciekających przed wojną. Powiedziała, że nigdy nam tego nie zapomną. Że zawsze będą pamiętać dobro, które wtedy od nas dostali. I że to nieprawda, że Ukraińcy nie są Polakom wdzięczni.

Serio, zrobiło mi się głupio.
Bo nie trzeba być geniuszem, żeby wiedzieć, dlaczego czuła potrzebę powiedzenia mi właśnie tego. To efekt tego, co dzieje się dzisiaj w Polsce.

Czwarty szok:
Poszedłem wieczorem coś zjeść i napić się piwa. Naprawdę tego potrzebowałem.

Usiadłem przy stoliku w jednej z restauracji i po prawej zobaczyłem dwóch młodych chłopaków.

Jeden bez prawej ręki.
Drugi z protezą lewej nogi.
Weterani.
Siedzą, piją piwo, rozmawiają.
Dwa stoliki dalej podobna sytuacja. Tylko tamten facet stracił rękę nie przy łokciu, ale znacznie wyżej, przy ramieniu.

Przyszła kelnerka odebrać moje zamówienie, więc zapytałem chłopaków obok czy mogę postawić im piwo?

Popatrzyli na mnie zdziwieni i zapytali skąd jestem?
Odpowiedziałem, że Polski.
No i usłyszałem, że to oni postawią piwo mnie.

Przysiadłem się bliżej i pytam: dlaczego? Przecież to ja jestem wdzięczny im. Za to, co robią. Za to, co poświęcili.

I wtedy usłyszałem, że oni nigdy nie przestaną być wdzięczni Polakom za 2022 rok.
Bo żona jednego z nich i narzeczona drugiego mogły znaleźć schronienie w Polsce.

I znowu zrobiło mi się wstyd.

Nie za nich.
Za to, co dzieje się teraz u nas.

W ciągu jednej doby usłyszałem podobne podziękowania cztery razy.

I powiem Wam, żże to wszystko nie świadczy o nas dzisiaj najlepiej.

Bo przyzwoici ludzie nie pomagają po to, żeby później wystawić rachunek i domagać się wdzięczności.

Pomagają dlatego, że ktoś potrzebuje pomocy.

Pomagają, bo tak trzeba.

A ci, którzy dzisiaj najgłośniej domagają się wdzięczności od Ukrainek i Ukraińców, zapewne w 2022 roku nie pomogli żadnemu z nich.

Ja po tej podróży wiem jedno jeszcze mocniej niż wcześniej.

Byłem, jestem i będę po stronie Ukrainy i Ukraińców.

[April Huggett @AprilHuggett]

I woke up today excited.

I’m outside of Poltava, and I feel amazing.

My 50 km mark today is on the other side of Poltava, out of the city, which means Poltava is 100% doable.

And I cannot explain how excited I am to see stores. To know that, for at least one day, I’ll have easy access to water. To know that every kilometer is taking me closer to Kharkiv Oblast, and closer to the end of this journey.

We are now just $562 away from our $50,000 goal.

https://t.co/6d3TNP169B

That feels incredible.

We’ve had a lot of losses over the course of this journey, and you are making it possible for us to replace some of that equipment.

In the nonprofit world, we call this “earmarked” money. Every single dollar of that $50,000 already has a purpose. I have a list of equipment that needs to be replaced, things my soldiers need, and things we have lost along the way.

And I have another list.

A list of names that keeps growing while I walk this walk.

The names of boys who didn’t get to see me finish this story.

Boys who have now been added to the long list of soldiers I walk in honour of.

That is the part of this journey that is much harder to put into words.

Every kilometer brings me closer to the finish, but not everyone who was there when I started is still here to see me reach it.

So I keep walking for them, too.

Please keep helping my boys.

And if you can’t donate, please like, comment, and share.

It genuinely makes a difference.

Poltava is only the beginning of this story.

If you stay with me, there is so much more I need to show you.

There are incredible moments ahead.

There are heartbreaking ones too.

There are people I want you to meet, places I need you to see, and stories that deserve to be told.

We’re getting closer.

Help me honour the ones who didn’t get to see the end.

And please help me take care of my soldiers.

Still my favorite comment on this platform. 😂

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

❗@BBCBreaking should be fucking ashamed of their coverage, claiming an intentional 🇺🇦 terror attack on 🇷🇺 russian beachgoers.

I hate occupiers more than anything, but we all know Ukraine would never waste a drone on a civilian, so PLEASE, BBC, don’t try to sensationalise this attack just because you aren’t getting enough clicks lately.

Your coverage affects public perception of Ukraine; you are FEEDING russian propaganda down 🇬🇧 British throats. Sort it out.

Une vidéo que personne ne veut voir 🇷🇺

Dès l'âge de 16 ans, des milliers de jeunes russes rejoignent des lycées et écoles militaires ou ils sont formés à la guerre.

C'est toute une génération d'étudiants qui se militarise et se forme, notamment dans le domaine des drones. Des dizaines de milliers de jeunes russes se préparent pour la prochaine guerre, avec tous les enseignements de la guerre actuelle.

Ces jeunes ne seront pas forcément déployés immédiatement en Ukraine, à moins que la guerre ne dure plusieurs années de plus. Ils seront le cœur de la future armée russe, qui sera évidemment plus forte que celle d'avant guerre, avec des technologie et une doctrine différente.

Cette militarisation accrue de la société commence dès l'école, avec des formations sur le maniement des armes, des cours de patriotisme et un encouragement à rejoindre les centres de formations, comme celui de Rubikon.

[April Huggett @AprilHuggett]

Today is a very special birthday.

@Berrveld has sacrificed an extraordinary amount of his time, money, and resources to help Ukrainians fight russian terrorism.

He has built an exceptional team that provides support in some of the most meaningful ways, and he has helped my battalion, the 93rd Brigade’s Alcatraz Battalion, more times than I can count.

Renaud, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, your encouragement, and everything you have done for us. Not only during this war, but as a true friend. You have personally helped me find my way out of some very dark places, and I will never forget that.

I am also incredibly grateful to your wife, who sacrifices so much to make the work you do possible.

Thank you both.

I did not have enough time to translate every message from my soldiers, but please know that each and every one of us is thinking about you today. We are grateful to have a friend like you standing beside Ukraine.

Happy birthday, Renaud. We are lucky to have you on our side.

Again: here, on Telegram and Instagram, you can see all of our reports. We are an official charity organisation, and the amount of reporting we do, including reports to the tax authorities, is immense.

Who does all of it? We do, ourselves, in our free time. In the evenings, late at night, because we all have regular jobs too. Believe it or not, we also need to earn money to live.

We don’t have the funds to build a fancy website where everything is displayed in real time. If that’s something you’d like to see, let’s do a fundraiser for it, and another one to cover the monthly maintenance costs.

We spend all of our time showing literally everything. We even spend our own money on many things related to logistics and paperwork, without even thinking of asking you to cover those costs. Every time before a trip, Jana worries whether her boss at work will give her money for fuel, because we don’t raise money for logistics at all.

I sleep only 4 to 5 hours a day because, maybe you don’t know this, but I have a full time job at a startup. I get home around 8 p.m., have 30 minutes to eat, and then spend the rest of my free time volunteering.

Do you want us to have a fancy website and a fancy reporting system? That costs a lot of money. We spend absolutely nothing on organising our volunteer work. None of us receives a salary or literally anything for it, apart from some T-shirts that soldiers sometimes send us. You cannot even imagine how happy I was to receive three T-shirts from soldiers, because most of my clothes are already years old. I avoid buying new clothes because I consider them an unnecessary expense.

And yes, we publish every possible report. I have no problem explaining anything, but I simply do not have hours to sit and translate every sentence of every invoice into English on each request. Google Translate exists.

And yes, there are scammers out there. But what does that have to do with us?

For years, we’ve been telling people to check invoices and reports. Then, every time another scammer is exposed, everyone suddenly starts demanding, “You don’t have a fancy website. Explain every single invoice to me. Translate everything.”

Do you want us to have a fancy reporting system and a professional website? That takes money. We would have to pay someone to build it and maintain it. A handful of volunteers simply can’t do everything on their own. We’re already struggling just to get enough sleep.

I have a family. I want to spend time with them too. I can’t spend every waking hour either at work or volunteering. Can I have at least one hour a day with my family?

This is what my schedule looks like. I wake up at 7 a.m., go to work, and get home at 8 or 9 p.m. My husband and I have about 30 minutes to eat together, and then I start scheduling posts and updates for social media because I can’t do it during working hours. I usually work on that until around 2 a.m. Then I go to bed, but I often can’t sleep because of the stress, and I wake up again at 5 or 6 a.m.

And then the next day is exactly the same.

I’m tired. I’m a human being too. I deserve to rest just like everyone else.

I don’t even remember the last time I had time just to talk to my own sister, apart from the day she messaged me asking me to take care of her kids if something happened to her, because it’s war and “anything can happen.”

Anyway, that’s enough of my whining. I’m going to the supermarket with my husband now. Sorry that I’m even buying food instead of living like a homeless person.

Your whining, ungrateful bitch,
Oksii

A missing Ukrainian child listed in the national Children of War registry has been identified as a soldier in the Russian army.

According to the Back to Ukraine team, Oleksandr Mustiatse from the Kherson region — officially recorded as missing since Russia's occupation — appeared on social media wearing a Russian military uniform marked with the "Z" symbol, posing with the Russian flag and sharing photos from positions where he was fighting against Ukraine.

Many people may see this as an individual choice, but I see something very different.

This case demonstrates the long-term consequences of leaving Ukrainian children under Russian occupation.

At Save Ukraine, we speak with children and families who have escaped occupied territories almost every day. Their stories reveal a systematic process that begins long before military service. Children are introduced to militarized education in kindergarten and school, encouraged to join Yunarmiya, taught to handle weapons, and repeatedly told that Ukraine is their enemy while military service to Russia is their duty.

When this becomes the only reality a child knows for years, propaganda stops feeling like propaganda. It becomes identity.

This is why time under occupation is one of the greatest threats facing Ukrainian children today.

Russia is not simply occupying territory, but deliberately investing in reshaping an entire generation — erasing Ukrainian identity and preparing children to see service in the Russian military as a normal and honorable path.

Every month a child remains under occupation makes this system harder to reverse.

That is why rescuing children is about far more than bringing them to safety, but about protecting their identity, preserving their future, and preventing the weaponization of an entire generation.

You can help make that possible.

Please share this story to raise awareness about what Ukrainian children face under occupation. And if you are able, support Save Ukraine's rescue missions so we can bring more children and families home safely.
