Today marks my 4th year volunteering in Ukraine. For those who don’t know me, I’m a British guy who left a quiet life in Spain after a good career in publishing, and understandably never abandoned our guys on the front.

Since then I've dedicated every day without fail to supporting our defenders. None of this would have happened without our dedicated volunteer team and the generous support of so many kind people worldwide.

Together we’ve delivered vehicles, medical supplies and thousands of drones to the front, all thanks to your help. On this anniversary, my main wish (apart from victory) is that more people discover our small, transparent mission to support Ukraine’s military without personal gain.

❗If you believe in what we do, please tweet why you follow @frontlinekit. Every new voice helps Ukraine.

This afternoon I even managed to steal a few hours at the beach after a very busy few weeks, we’ve just delivered another new huge batch of unjammable Starlink drones built by our non-stop team. I'm sure they’ll make a real difference soon.

For now I’m enjoying a swim with my dog, time with my wonderful partner, and the sunset over a beautiful Lviv.

Glory to our Heroes.
Glory to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

And for those suffering from very selective amnesia, let me remind you once again that Russia has been carrying out regular and systematic mass missile and drone strikes against Ukraine — including power plants and heating infrastructure, hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, supermarkets, as well as historical landmarks and national heritage sites — since 4 a.m. on February 24, the very first day of its full-scale invasion.

At that point Ukraine could not even dream of striking any targets inside Russia, let alone Moscow, and remained practically powerless to do so for many months, if not years, of the war.

So you can go to hell with your “now Russia will strike back.”

And it all began nearly 1,000 years ago, when a monk named Anthony returned to ancient Kyiv from a monastery on Mount Athos in Greece.

He was seeking solitude and the life of a hermit, and so he secluded himself in small caves among the green hills on the banks of the Dnipro, where centuries earlier Vikings sought shelter while traveling far to the south along the great river had stopped and sought shelter.

People learned of the piety of the hermit Anthony, and disciples began coming to him in the caves. Over many years, they dug entire labyrinths in those caves, where they prayed and labored in the half-darkness -- and reverently noticed that after death the bodies of the monks remained incorrupt (of course, this was due to the unique microclimate deep inside the caves).

Thus was born the famous Kyiv Pechersk Monastery (that is, the “Cave Monastery”), which would later become the magnificent Lavra -- the foremost and greatest holy site of Christian Rus'.

A real city within a city, with magnificent ancient churches built by rulers of different eras, monastic caves, gigantic crowds of pilgrims, and, in later times, the famous 97-meter bell tower, one of Kyiv's calling cards, visible for many dozens of kilometers along the banks of the Dnipro.

Over its 1,000 years, the Lavra survived the internecine wars of the princes of Rus', the Mongol invasion, long years of decline and rebirth. It was the foremost center of learning and printing, and it was in its caves that the legendary monk Nestor wrote the famous Primary Chronicle -- the principal book of historical memory of the East Slavic peoples.

It survived the barbarity of the Bolsheviks. It survived destruction during World War II. It survived centuries during which Moscow priests, having seized it, lorded over it.

It will survive Putin and his fascist Russia as well -- no matter how the monster pukes blood in powerless rage because it cannot defeat Ukraine, and no matter how hard it tries to wipe from the face of the earth everything it cannot seize.

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

France's Foreign Minister put it well:

A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.

This is what russia calls defending Christianity.

You can help to keep Ukrainians safe. By contributing, you are allowing people to survive and helping people to persevere. You are also letting them know that they are not alone, and that you can see a better future, and want to part of it.

This week marks the 2-year anniversary of the incredible UNITED24 ambassador: Hollywood star @HilarySwank!

For 2 years, Hilary has supported Ukrainians via UNITED24, using her voice, platform, and popularity to draw attention to russia’s ongoing war.

Here, she shares exactly why she committed to the ambassador role and why global support is more crucial now than ever before.

Thank you both, for everything you have done and continue to do!

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones.

Russia calls them “retaliatory strikes.”

I call them what they are.

From the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Kyiv to Kramatorsk station and the apartment block in Dnipro, this article breaks down how Russia has spent years bombing civilians while hiding behind propaganda and diplomatic silence.

Now even UN warehouses and humanitarian convoys are being hit, while the international response grows weaker and civilian casualties rise sharply across 2026.

This is one of the most important pieces I’ve written in months.

Please read, share and restack. 🇺����

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

A reminder that Russia is waging a terrorist war on Ukraine, and a reminder that standing by and watching are the richest nations on Earth, controlling the most powerful military alliance in history, an alliance created specifically to stop Russia in Europe. Sickening.

❤️ A story that will break your heart

The male stork died.

The female was left alone with the chicks. She couldn’t leave to find food — the babies were too small to be left unattended.

So the neighbors started feeding her from their balcony using a long stick.

Russia uses 695 forms of torture against Ukrainian prisoners of war, including beatings, physical torture, sexual violence, and psychological abuse.

This was reported by Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, during the presentation of the project “Made in Russia. Delivered into Captivity,” which documents Russian war crimes.

The Ombudsman said that prisoners are strangled, attacked with dogs, beaten with electric shock devices, and forced to stand in one place for up to 18 hours. If they try to sit down, they are beaten again.
“One form of torture is the ‘barbershop.’ During shaving, the Russians cut off not only hair but also pieces of skin from the head. If a person starts screaming, they are beaten physically or shocked with electricity,” Lubinets said.

Russia has returned to Ukraine the bodies of 375 military personnel and civilians who were verified as prisoners. Of the verified Ukrainian prisoners of war, 149 were tortured to death.

He also emphasized the lack of international response. In particular, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross were invited to the event, but none attended.

I just listened to some of the most horrific testimony imaginable, and even some of it was new to me.

I could just about hold it together.

Unfortunately, I would genuinely like to understand why the ICRC, after receiving an invitation, decided not to attend the event on Russian war crimes in Kyiv. Many officials and dignitaries made the time to be there.

Please contact me, because I would welcome a statement, although I’ll be writing to you anyway.

I didn’t see you during my captivity, and I didn’t see you here. According to many former prisoners, they didn’t see you either.
