Hey folks—I’d appreciate a solid rally for this fundraiser! Preston Stewart fundraisers are as reliable as they get and they’ll go to support our Defenders!
“Tell me where the Ukrainians are, or I’ll shoot you.”
A russian soldier held a gun to the head of Yurii Kuznetsov, a traumatologist from Izium.
By then, Yurii had already spent six months saving lives in a hospital basement.
When russian bombs began falling on Izium in March 2022, his home was destroyed and two shells hit the hospital.
He stayed.
His brother had a Group I disability and could not walk. His 84-year-old mother was also there. She died in June.
Yurii turned the hospital basement into an operating room.
For six months, he and the nurses treated around 800 people. About half were wounded. Every serious wound meant surgery.
They operated under bombs and artillery fire.
On May 9, russian forces shelled residential buildings and 17 wounded people were brought to the hospital at once.
They even delivered four babies in that basement.
Then russian soldiers stormed the hospital.
One pointed his rifle at Yurii and demanded to know where the “Ukrainians” were.
“Search. There’s nobody here,” he replied.
Izium was liberated on September 10, 2022.
Yurii went to the local police station, where russians had tortured people. Ukrainian passports were scattered everywhere.
Then a Ukrainian SSO soldier arrived, climbed onto the roof, removed the russian flag and raised the Ukrainian one.
Yurii received the Order “For Courage”, III Class.
He still lives in Izium.
He still works in the same hospital.
They tried to break him.
He stayed and saved lives.
"Zelensky should stop striking russia's oil and fuel infrastructure to avoid a diesel shortage" - Trump
That says a lot. Means our strategy works, if orange said that.
Now we must burn down everything diesel related in Mordor.

GLORY TO THE HEROES OF UKRAINE
Support the fundraiser for 10 fully equipped ambulances for Ukraine!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has joined the UNITED24 campaign launched with former astronaut, EMT and UNITED24 ambassador Scott Kelly to raise $1.2 million for 10 modern ambulances.
Ukrainian medics work under fire and travel through damaged roads to evacuate the wounded. Russian forces also target evacuation teams, including when they are helping civilians or heavily wounded soldiers.
Unlike standard ambulances, armoured evacuation vehicles are built to withstand enemy fire. They are faster and more agile, helping medics reach the wounded quickly and safely. More protection means more lives saved.

A Russian 2S43 Malva wheeled self-propelled howitzer was destroyed near Shyrokyi in Belgorod Oblast by FPV drone pilots of Ukraine’s 22nd Mechanized Brigade.
I don't have any words 🤬
Every day now, russians post videos where they hunt children, young men and elderly women with FPV drones, posting the videos and laughing how they killed another Ukrainian civilian, celebrating the blood pouring from their bodies.
Fuck russia 🤬🤬🤬
🇯🇵🇺🇦 Japanese volunteer Shuto Fukuyama came to Ukraine to defend a country that was not his own — and gave his life for people who were not his own.
He didn’t have to come. Ukraine was thousands of miles from his home. This was not his war, not his land, not his family.
But when Ukraine needed friends, Shuto chose not to look away. He came. He stood beside Ukrainians. He fought beside them as a brother.
In 2022, Shuto Fukuyama was killed on the battlefield while defending Ukraine.
Japan lost a son. Ukraine lost one of its own.
Some bonds are not made by blood or birthplace. They are made by courage, sacrifice, and the choice to stand beside someone in their darkest hour.
Thank you, Shuto. Ukraine remembers you. We remember you.
And we always will. 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇦
Rest in peace, brother. Eternal honor and gratitude.
