Hi 👋 I'm Richard Woodruff, 🇬🇧 British volunteer in Ukraine, supporting our heroes battling the russian orc horde. They've come for me in Kupyansk, Kherson & Chasiv Yar, but I'm still here.

Ain't leaving Ukraine. Never will. 🇺🇦
#SlavaUkraini
Ukraine's got this 💪 #FuckTheOrcs

@lotta_love43 I want to sincerely apologise for my initial reaction.

I reacted in a moment of heightened emotion rather than taking the time to respond with the care and clarity this situation requires.

I am profoundly sorry for your tragic loss.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

As always, there's a lot happening at Front Line Kit. We've brought the latest developments together in one place, explaining how the charity and drone company work.

See our statement here: https://t.co/nAiZt1nT9N

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

If you don't block someone you still get a notification that states you were tagged followed by whichever horrific lie is spewed, why should I be subjected to harassment and defamation?

You'll be happy to hear I will be turning off my notifications now additionally and hopefully never returning to this app.

Thank you, goodnight and goodbye.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

There will always be trash people out there trying to convince you that things happen because of money.

Funnily enough, volunteers don’t tend to do stuff for money.

I’ve left Twitter but unfortunately had to come back just to post this due to the disgusting defamation going on.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

@BeadworkbySian @pkeijlewer Good to the soldiers, yes 🫂

We have done so much together.

Will forever be grateful to every follower on Twitter, I am just sorry they have to continue using a platform infested with so much hate because I know how beautiful every follower of mine is in their heart ❤️

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

I block those who willingly and knowingly defame. You can’t be pro-Ukrainian and spew lies or attack Ukrainian charities with nonsense. I’m always happy to answer legitimate questions and point people to our extensive transparency work, but when people throw random, baseless claims to discredit us with zero evidence, I understandably don’t have time.

2. russian hacking me? I have never said russians had access to any of my accounts or tweeted on my behalf. I stated the complete opposite: that people should use 2FA to prevent such attacks.

Thanks for the questions. Have a beautiful evening.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

Go follow on YouTube too, it's a much nicer place without all these toxic people: https://t.co/e3LJVZHZjS

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

For our transparency reporting: https://t.co/47fPEbJ05Q

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

Did you know @FrontLineKit has had an entire transparency section on its website for YEARS now?

We've always been so proud to get 99%+ of all donations directly to the front lines, we show each donation and expense for FULL transparency.

I don't receive a salary from my organisation and 4+ years later, can still proudly call myself a volunteer. (German Timchik too)

You can view it at the bottom of our donation page: https://t.co/5iFuEVEGVy

And, PLEASE if you appreciate all the hard work we put into it, consider making a donation or subscribing to keep helping the military in the correct, transparent way 🫂

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

This isn’t a return. After four years, I just wanted to tell you what happened.

If you’d like to stay in touch, I'll be posting daily on YouTube: https://t.co/lgTIL1HMjY

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

I wanted to explain why I left.

I’ll leave a link in the comments if you’d like to find me.

I’m asking for a little kindness right now. It’s not often you have to bury two of your best friends in the same week, and I’m still trying to take that in.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

@D1gitalD1rtb4g Thank you sir 🫡

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

This is Goodbye from me 👋

I want to thank you all for being here with me over the past 4+ years, if you want to find me elsewhere I'll leave the links below 🫂

Peace out ✌️

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

Missile after missile after missile keep hitting Kyiv 🤬🤬🤬

A genocide is going on and the world stays quiet 🤫🤫🤫

@BBCWorld, @SkyNews ??

Have your reporters woken up?!

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

And meanwhile @POTUS is posting maps on his social media platform showing Canada and Greenland as territory of the United States.

I'm so fucking sorry to my 🇨🇦 Canadian friends for having to deal with this batshit fucking crazy neighbour.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

❗Why is this NOT on the front pages of every paper in the world?

Why do the likes of @BBCWorld and @SkyNews not cover it??

They are KILLING US ALL.

Please dear god start reporting on it, it is genocide.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

❗️24 russian missiles launched at Washington.

❗️24 russian missiles launched at London.

❗️24 russian missiles launched at Berlin.

❗️24 russian missiles launched at Paris.

🛑 The world would stop if russia attacked your capital. ✋️

So why doesn’t it when they attack ours?

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

@SteveWitkoff/@jaredkushner come back.

Your friends who want peace are killing our kids again.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

The 🇺🇲 Americans leave Kyiv and approximately 24 missiles of various types get launched by the orcs at our capital and the surrounding region in the last 45 minutes 🤬🤬🤬

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

It's normal to enjoy watching occupiers die, right? Or have I just been here too long?
