Information for anyone who wants to make a donation in support of Ukraine:
- Hospitallers - Ukrainian volunteer medical battalion, which provides first aid and evacuates wounded Ukrainian soldiers
- Ukrainian charity fund “Come Back Alive”
- Ukrainian charity foundation of Serhiy Pritula
- United24 - the official platform for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine
These are the main platforms that most Ukrainians (myself included) regularly use to donate to support our armed forces. Ukraine needs military aid, because only through victory we can achieve peace. Russia’s only goal is to destroy us. If Russia is not defeated, there will be no future for Ukraine.
These funds buy vehicles for the evacuation of the wounded, thermal imagers, body armor and everything else our defenders need to survive.
Why you should NOT donate to the Red Cross
Any help, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you ❤️

Thank you for your support and to everyone else who commented on that post.
Honestly, the past few days have been a nightmare for multiple reasons, and I’m very grateful to have this little place where I can vent. Thank you for being here.
personal
I guess I need to vent
In the past, I both read The Handmaid's Tale novel and watched the TV show. While I enjoyed it, I had just one nitpick - it was hard for me to suspend my disbelief that:
- It was happening in the US
- It happened so quickly
It read a liiittle bit like an author's personal prejudice against the US. (Margaret Atwood is Canadian)
I no longer have to suspend any disbelief - because there is none.
Now I fully expect just about anything.
ultimate Ukrainian experience: reading “trump considers easing sanctions against russia”, while russian drones are flying overhead
the US “will help restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions” as a reward for killing Ukrainians and not pausing the air strikes even during the shameful “negotiations.”
Ukraine, on the other hand, gets the privilege to say thank you.
Anyway, in another peaceful move of the peaceful negotiation for peace, russia hit my hometown in the broad daylight, injuring 100 ppl, including 23 children, at least 1 of which is in a highly critical condition.
Specifically, the strike targeted a residential area between two critical military locations - a school and a kindergarten. Sure hope my cousins in russia can sleep tight tonight knowing that those dangerous 5-year-olds have been dealt with.
ah, there it is again, beautiful and loud russian peacefulness in the sky…
as predictable as clockwork
Mufasa nooooooo......
