A huge shoutout to @BlueYeti72, @newman_ross, @LegendaDiggers and friends for bringing all this amazing humanitarian aid to us in #Ukraine.
We may not be fundraising for aid but we are grateful to have supporters like you who give us the aid the front needs.
Laptops will be handed out to children who have been forced from their homes along the front and the school supplies are already being put together for places like #Kherson and #Donbas.
Thank you so much for being here with us, YOU #StandWithUkraine

The Legenda Ukraine patch is now being been seen regularly in areas where dangerous ordnance has been discarded.
EOD First Responders who work for the Ukraine government proudly wear the patch while doing this difficult and dangerous work.
Ukrainian soldier Sergei's unit asked us for two drones, but Legenda raised money for the third one as well - with night vision and other useful functions.
The 3 drones are now on there way to Ukraine with one of members Rita.

Legenda just donated a Starlink to the Ministry of Reintegration - this Starlink will be used by the Cargo200 Teams in the East of Ukraine.
For those that donโt know what Cargo200 it is the code used to signify those killed in action.
Teams will now be able to work in the field.
Thanks to you all for following and supporting us in 2022 .
A very happy Christmas and new years you to everyone and we look forward to reporting on our ongoing work in Latvia and Ukraine in 2023.
From all of us at Legenda.
This week we celebrate Latvian soldiers and Latvian Independence Day, so we publish here the story of our soldier, who was torn to pieces by an artillery shell in 1919 during our independence struggle! His comrades wrapped him in a soldier's tent and buried him in the forest.
After his death, this soldier was awarded Latvia's highest military award for this battle! After 100 years, this burial site could only be found thanks to a small cross carved into a tree trunk. In cooperation with the Latvian Brethren Graves Committee, we, Legenda, found him.
During the expedition we exhumed 52 Soviet Army soldiers. This number corresponds with the number in archive, meaning that in 1977 nothing has been done. The soldiers were reburied "on paper".
This Soviet Army cemetery was officially reburied in 1977. In this place was left only the monument, which local municipality wanted to remove. In 2022 we checked the area around the monument and found out that there are still human remains.
Legenda working in Ukraine, helping and advising where we can, with our many years of experience in this kind of difficult and dangerous work.
