Every time I return to Kramatorsk, it’s surprising how much closer the sounds of the front line are.

The region spends most days on red alert due to Shahed, FPVs, and KABs.
Over the last few years, volunteers in the region including myself have worked throughout air alerts because otherwise very little would get done.
Recently, however, that has become increasingly difficult as attacks have intensified.

I've talked in previous stories about how war destroys one city while preparing another for destruction, creating a seemingly endless cycle of war. Unfortunately, for cities like Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, today that has become a reality.

Shahed are not a primary concern in this region. While they can cause significant damage, it’s relatively localised and has become part of every day life for many people still living here.

FPV attacks have increased dramatically. The human safari has become a constant threat to the civilians who remain and while driving, drone detectors and jammers are very important for safety.

What most people fear most in the region are KABs.

The direct impact causes devastating local destruction, but the shockwave reaches far beyond the point of impact.
Apartment blocks, vehicles, businesses, vets, schools and hospitals are severely damaged even when they are not directly hit.

The street in the attached video is in the centre of Kramatorsk and as we walked the entire street there was not one building which had not been damaged.
The reason? The street has been hit with 15 KAB’s this year alone and after leaving only three weeks ago it has been struck a couple more times.
More noticeable though, we were the only people there!

At the top of the street in the attached picture is where 7 people were killed at the beginning of May 2026 and will now remain in ruins indefinitely like so much more of the city.

While I was there one of my very close friends needed to remove items from his apartment which suffered damage from a shock wave. It’s only when inside you see the destruction does not stop on the external face of the building. Internal doors cracked, glass and belongings everywhere leaving the apartment useless.

Even with all this devastation, the military, civilian and animal volunteers, vets, doctors, postal workers and more continue to work with what they have left.
All are import causes in Donetsk Region which needs serious help before it’s too late.

It would be amazing if you could help support my attached current fundraiser for a 4x4 to be donated to 81st Brigade in Siversk direction.

Thank you for supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

It’s a good day to say Fuck Russia!

[🇬🇧 Richard 🇺🇦 @UKRRichard]

The reality of life in Kramatorsk today is being hunted by FPV drones.
We picked up the signal of one nearby and can see the same picture as the Russian operator.

[🇬🇧 Richard 🇺🇦 @UKRRichard]

Tomorrow I go to Kramatorsk where I will be asked for help with lots of items.

Please can we push the next vehicle for 81st along a bit.

[🇬🇧 Richard 🇺🇦 @UKRRichard]

I bought the two emergency Starlinks for Liut which we managed to do yesterday.

Thank you to everyone who got involved by donating and spreading the word.

[🇬🇧 Richard 🇺🇦 @UKRRichard]

I collected the two van stickers today.
They were all laughing at your messages 😂

Met up with James today to collect the first batch of aid. ⛑️
Items include tents, camp beds, medical aid and kids clothes.

[🇬🇧 Richard 🇺🇦 @UKRRichard]

Funny story..... I put £80 of diesel into the van for Ukraine today and it filled the tank only half way.

Thanks Donald Trump!!

There have been a couple of enquiries today about one of my accounts.

I have 3 accounts linked to me

@UKRRichard
@RichardUkr
@UlFund

My @RichardUkr account was suspended and it took so long to free it, this account was doing better so it’s now my backup account.

@UlFund is the account for my British registered organisation.

Give both a follow in case the Russian bots cause an issue on this account. 🇺🇦
