the amazing Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation has another call for a funding opportunity for researchers who are threatened at home (e.g. by war). Check out the call and approach potential hosts in Germany asap https://t.co/w8R0UsGpd6
My archaeologist heart breaks for Perchersk Lavra. Turn rage into renewal and make sure that Ukraine’s skies are safe. I’m raffling the last of my Tryzub scarves. -$5 per ticket to @U24_gov_ua sky defence. Our leaders may not have the spines to close the skies so we will.
🔴 Four Ukrainian rescuers killed in Russian strike double-tap attack.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service rescuers Dmytrii Boyko, Danylo Tishchenko, Serhii Makovetskyi, and Vadym Zinchenko were killed and nine others injured during a secondary Russian attack on a civilian enterprise in Kharkiv on the night of June 15.
Fucking bullshit
The State Emergency Service arrived to save people and extinguish the fire
They were hit again with ballistics, and 5 SES members died
A lot of people have been asking where I am and if I am ok. I am preparing.
In two weeks, I will begin my first vacation in nearly two years.
I won't be spending it on a beach. I won't be traveling abroad. I won't be resting.
Instead, I will walk home.
From Maidan and the Alley of Heroes in Kyiv to Kramatorsk.
Hundreds of kilometers.
Roughly 50 kilometers every day.
In the summer heat, where temperatures regularly reach 28°C and above. I have my own health challenges, and there will be days when every step hurts. But compared to what my soldiers endure every day, that discomfort is insignificant.
I am doing this because it is easy for the frontline to feel distant when you are not living beside it. For my soldiers, there is no distance. The war is present in every day, every decision, and every kilometer of ground they defend.
But my soldiers are still there.
They are still defending #Ukraine.
They are still living in frontline villages and cities.
They are still carrying the weight of a war that most people only see through a screen.
Donbas is Ukraine.
And Donbas is not some distant place on a map.
It is home.
My soldiers are former prisoners. Even if they are granted a vacation, it does not look like yours or mine. They will still remain close. They do not get to simply walk away from it.
So I am asking for your help.
This walk is about awareness, but awareness alone does not keep soldiers alive.
Equipment does.
Vehicles do.
Communications do.
Drones do.
Recently, our only ground drone struck a mine and was destroyed.
That wasn't just a piece of equipment. It was a lifeline. It delivered water. It carried supplies. It reduced risk to the soldiers who depended on it.
Now it is gone.
And what we have in the field is what we have.
That is not a position any unit should be forced into.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $50,000 during this journey so that my battalion can continue operating, continue adapting, and continue bringing our people home.
Every kilometer I walk is for the soldiers who cannot leave.
Every kilometer is for the fallen whose flags stand in the Alley of Heroes.
Every kilometer is for Donbas.
Every kilometer is for Ukraine.

Help me carry this message from Kyiv to Kramatorsk.
The war is not over.
And neither are we.

Diese frische, autofreie Luft hatten wir hier auch mal, so vor 50 Jahren, während der Ölkrise. 🫢
@RusBotschaft Denke ich an ruzzland in der Nacht, ….
kommen mir diese Städte in den Sinn:
NORILSK: 10 Jahre weniger Lebenserwartung als der russische Durchschnitt … und der ist schon niedrig
MAGNITOGORSK: Nur 1% der Neugeborenen sind in guten gesundheitlichen Zustand
