Again a few unforgettable days.
30 hours on the road to Kyiv, rolling in a convoy of 28 #NAFO trucks. Handing them over to courageous defenders of the UAF. Witnessing the scars of war. Hugging friends with unbreakable spirit.
Ukraine’s fight for freedom is ours too 🌻
🫂 Anhelina, 14 months. Killed today in her pushchair in a park near Kharkiv.
Someone chose that target. Some shrugged. Others supplied the parts.
A handful of vile, powerful men gamble with the world, while children pay.
Pain. Rage. Resolve.
#StandWithUkraine 💙💛
🎯 Did russia's digital detox give us more reach than usual? Can't prove it, but won't complain!
Target is reached. A weekend of generous donations closed the fundraiser 🫂
Thank you all, friends and anonymous donors. The truck goes to GUR's Timur group at the end of the month.
🫂 A lot of content here is about the horrors of russia's aggression against Ukraine.
And yet, there is also love, strength, hope even in these very dark times.
With @69thSB, we're funding a truck 🛻 for the defenders of GUR's Timur group.

🐕 Pippa doesn't do much beyond chasing squirrels.
Ukraine's dogs sniff out mines, sit in shelters, and keep defenders sane.
This one's for them 🫂
PS: Pippa & @69thSB are raising a truck for GUR's Timur group. Join us! ⤵️

😡 Land of the free? Certainly home of the kremlin's newest customer.
Every ton of russian diesel America buys is another missile over Kyiv. Nothing is more expensive than cheap russian diesel.
Some may sell out. We volunteers keep showing up for the defenders. Join us ⤵️

🔥 Delivered in March; burned in August.
Five months. In Ukraine, that is a long life for a truck. Most last weeks. Some, days.
This is not a loss, it is what trucks are for. And the crew walked away.
The next one 🛻 is needed. GUR's Timur group is waiting. We can do this ⤵️

💔 The message is on the truck.
Pryluky. 22 dead. Five children.
Kramatorsk. 33 dead. Two city buses.
Two days in autumn.
Ukraine 2026.
Rage-donate, friends ❤️🩹

⚔️ Ukraine is fighting the war NATO was built for. Without NATO…
Yesterday, NATO’s chiefs came to Kyiv to see how. The least we can do is step up.
Let’s keep the pressure and fund a truck for GUR’s Timur group, together with @69thSB.
🙏🏻 Every donation is valued ⤵️

🌄Quiet skies over Belgium this morning.
Over Ukraine, the skies are loud with sirens and strikes. Again.
And Europe will soon express grave concerns. Again.
Meanwhile, we’re raising funds for an actual truck, to save actual lives.
🎯 €12.9k / €21.5k raised (60%) ⤵️

🤷♀️ "Why should I care what happens in a country I'll never visit?"
Right. You don't need to be convinced Ukraine matters.
You just need 2min to understand what happens if it doesn't hold.
Holding takes trucks. Ours goes to GUR's Timur group.
🙏🏻 Boost & donate if you can ⤵️

🫂 We are staying.
russia's foreign ministry tells foreigners to leave Kyiv.
And embassy after embassy answered this weekend: We stay in Kyiv.
We volunteers, have our own answer too. We keep coming. And we keep bringing more trucks.
We're halfway there ⤵️
See you in Kyiv 💙💛

🎨 Two Motherland statues, two outcomes for this war.
russia on the left: sword broken, fire & drones.
Ukraine on the right: shield up, standing firm in the storm.
Help keep that shield up: we're raising funds with @69thSB for a 🛻 for GUR's Timur group.
Donate if you can ⤵️

🌉 The Dnipro has watched Kyiv outlast tsars, nazis and soviets.
Now russia goes after its bridges. And strangers offer each other lifts across. Still nothing that breaks this city. 💙💛
We're offering a lift too: a truck 🛻 for GUR's Timur group. Join our fundraiser ⤵️

🫡 Today is the Day of Defenders of Ukraine: Дякую.
Some I've met could be my son. Others, my younger sister or older brother. All joined to protect a life worth returning to.
What stays with me is their grit, dignity, and kindness.

🤨 Lately I've read "Spend my tax money on healthcare, not tanks".
Well, let me remind you that healthcare needs a state, and a state needs borders that hold.
Right now, Europe's border is being held in Ukraine, by civilians who had to become soldiers.
Help them hold it ⤵️

🙄 This week, bot farms have been busy posting "russia is not my enemy".
Yesterday, russia sent its drones after scientists, doctors and children, after animal shelters, food storage facilities and business centres.
It isn't hard to pick a side. Mine has a truck to fund ⤵

🔥 Last night, I slept peacefully in my bed... only "because rough men stand ready."
Our democracies owe them more than gratitude.
Together with @69thSB, help us fund a truck for the rough men of GUR's "Timur" group.
