Horrific scenes out of Kyiv this morning as Russia used a jet-powered drone to blow up Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences. People are escaping through windows as the building burns. Just like they target kindergartens and schools, now they are bombing science.
This is a bitter sweet operation! While I’m happy we delivered some food, Russians notice and some people where injured in the action of getting the food but I guess that’s the situation we are! I wish no publicity was giving to this and was under the radar…we need to deliver home to home, better for the safety of Ukranians…under the radar……no one knowing! @WCKitchen #ChefsForUkraine
I was driving nearby when the air raid started. Minutes later, Russian drone hit this busy area. Four killed, simply going about their business. Heavy smoke still rising.
Living in Kyiv feels like a deadly lottery, you never know if you’re next.
I want to give a shout out to the people still standing with Ukraine and supporting Ukrainian causes in 2026. (and an update at the bottom)
I got burned in 2022 when I was participating, like many of you, in a very popular pro-Ukraine space.
That's where a lot of us met.
I supported and promoted fundraisers from many people, some of them raised huge amounts because people were very willing to give back then. We all seemed very motivated and wanted to do anything to help and we paid less attention to potential grifters.
Some of the fundraisers were 100% legit, usually the ones promoted by Ukrainian soldiers actually fighting and volunteers living in Ukraine. But there were a few promoted by the foreign "stars" of the space who turned out to be scams by people who used the Ukrainian cause to promote themselves while living a lavish style, chasing girls and LARPING in Kyiv.
I feel very bitter about that because there was so much money flying around while a lot of units were missing basic necessities back then.
I remember you helped me get Helena a DJI drone. It was the first meaningful thing the unit she was in back then got and she was so happy and they took care of it like a precious artifact for months... and this was at a time when her battalion didn't have enough helmets for everyone during their most recent deployment. She started her service in a unit that didn't get that famous but caught hell all over Donetsk and Luhansk. In 2023 she got transferred to the 15th Brigade.
This was also at a time when I was hearing about hundreds of thousands of dollars raised in the space by someone who turned out to be a scammer.
I think all of us got duped by one of those at one point or another and I spoke about the big one that was disappointing for me because I helped promote it.
Fortunately that person was exposed, disgraced and completely locked out of the community and from what I hear, karma has not treated him very well in the last few years.
Back then there were more of us supporting Ukraine, some very loud and looking for attention... and the ones that stayed ended up being the people I liked and respected the most in the first place.
I've talked privately to a lot of you over the years and I know that for many of you, donating to Ukraine is not a casual expense. Most of you work hard, have families to support, health issues to cover and worries of your own. Nobody would blame you if you moved on but you didn't because you are the kind of people who believe in doing the right thing.
I get angry a lot on this hell site, as you might have seen, but you lovely people give me hope that good will always prevail.
Just remember that in all the noise, Ukraine's freedom is what matters the most and those fighting for it need us to be strong and united.
Update:
In just 24 hours we reached almost 3,000 of our 5K goal for Helena's boys in the 15th Brigade. Our winter collection is geared towards radios, EcoFlows and car repairs.

I am very grateful to you all.
(pictured me, in Summer 2022 right after I purchased the first drone for Helena with your help)
This winter will be brutal, mark my words. Ukrainians know what it means to live through attacks on power and heating as we’ve endured four years of it.
After last night’s strikes on Russia’s oil and logistics facilities, many ordinary Russians may feel the consequences of the war Putin started for the first time this winter.
He can end it at any point, remember that.
This is Christianity, Judaism, and Islam without russia weaponizing them against each other.
Once you understand how much damage russia has done to world, you will understand that Ukraine's fight is your fight.
You’ve probably heard about the devastating situation in Oleshky.
Zarina explains step by step what is happening in Kherson city and region, and in Oleshky and the surrounding area.
Please read for a clear picture. There is a lot of speculation around this topic.
Why is it important to talk about OLESHKY ?
Because people there are starving, and russia is not allowing them to evacuate.
The international community needs to put prеssure on russia. And for that, we need to spread the word.
Please tag your leaders. Only together can we help.
Talk about Oleshky. Please don’t stay silent.
Please Google Oleshky. Please read about what is happening there. Please talk about Oleshky because people need to know.
There are Ukrainian civilians trapped there under ruzzian occupation and they are running out of food. Actually running out of food. There have reportedly been no proper food deliveries into the town since the end of May, people survived through summer mostly with whatever they could grow themselves, whatever they still had stored and whatever they could somehow find, but summer is ending and those gardens and supplies are running out too.
And they cannot simply leave. Roads are mined, drones make movement incredibly dangerous, bringing supplies in is incredibly difficult and evacuation attempts have not happened despite Ukraine being ready to evacuate people. There are still civilians there. There are still children there.
I don’t even know how to write this without sounding dramatic because the reality itself already sounds unbelievable. It is 2026 and we are talking about people in an occupied Ukrainian town potentially starving because food cannot get to them and they cannot safely get out.
Please don’t just take my word for it either. Google Oleshky yourself. Read what is coming out of there. Read several sources. Look at what Ukrainian officials and people connected to the area are saying.
And then please make noise about it.
The world has become so used to horrible things happening in Ukraine that sometimes I genuinely feel like we have to scream just to make people stop scrolling for five seconds, but these people cannot afford for everyone to scroll past them.
Google Oleshky.
Please.
Some MAGA supporters are so stupid that they actually believe the United States is going to own Greenland.
Greenland is not being transferred to the United States, and its sovereignty remains intact. The new agreement explicitly recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.
The agreement builds on the existing 1951 Defence Agreement, under which the United States already had broad military access to Greenland.
Our fight against Trump’s ambition to take over Greenland has been won.
The new agreement explicitly recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.
Thank you to everyone who has stood with us and supported Greenland. 🇬🇱
Have your media told you Russia bombed a Kyiv passenger train going to city of Mykolaiv this morning ?
And that Russia hit the train 3 times in a row, one after another ?
Drones over Lithuania, flares fired at Danish aircraft, the Polish border strike. These attacks are a direct result of Europe’s weak response to Leipzig & all other provocations.
It’s past time. The EU must ban Russian tourists. NATO must help defend western Ukrainian airspace.
🇷🇺🇰🇵Nous n'aurions jamais dû laisser la Corée du Nord envoyer des troupes en Ukraine.
Cela aurait dû être une ligne rouge : si Pyongyang envoie des troupes, alors nous aussi.
Cette posture de faiblesse de la part de l'OTAN est insupportable. Nous avons laissé la Corée du Nord entraîner ses troupes chez nous, en Europe, à tuer des Ukrainiens. Il faut se rendre compte quand même de l'énormité de la chose, il y a 5 ans personne n'aurait pu l'imaginer.
Déjà que laisser la Corée du Nord tester ses missiles balistiques sur les villes ukrainiennes est une aberration mais le déploiement de troupes constitue une escalade certaine et intolérable. Les rumeurs selon lesquelles ils risquent d'en envoyer à nouveau devraient nous alerter sur la réponse à apporter.
L'Europe ne doit pas accepter que la pire dictature de la Terre entraîne ses troupes en Ukraine. Et si nous ne voulons pas envoyer nous-même nos soldats pour aider à défendre l'Ukraine, alors donnons-leur au moins les moyens de se défendre efficacement et levons les restrictions inutiles.
C'est un échec moral profond pour l'Europe que de laisser faire la Russie et la Corée du Nord.
Luckily, Trump's son is not connected to the US military industrial complex and drone development in any way or connected to companies with knowledge of Ukrainian drone tech and warfare.......
Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children
Imagine if your country was hit with this many munitions every day. It’s absolutely insane what Ukraine has been dealing with recently. All these drones & missiles over the last 24 hours.
To see what Russians truly are, you must understand that the Ukrainian trains that cross the Poland/Ukraine border all day are 95% women and kids. Ukrainian men under 60 cannot without rare military exemptions.
Russia has begun targeting these trains.
