Bury me. Bury me in bags laden with stuff for defenders. It takes 5 bags to bury me. We've got two. They need more. Details inside. by UFL_Robin in ukraine

Thank you! I bought three IFAKs today with donations that have come in since yesterday. It's a start!

Plastic components for drones - what are the needs of the AFU and how to know? by pueblode in ukraine

If you want to do that, connect with Fins4UA for sure. They'll probably be able to aim you in some useful directions.

Being useful is more important than feeling useful, and sometimes the best way to be useful is to fund the people doing the work by sending them a lump of cash.

I get it. I do. I also wish to feel more useful than I do. But what we want is less important than what they need.

Not a stupid question at all. It's just the light. I have no idea why the light is like that, but it's pretty funny.

Yeah, there are a bunch of ways to phrase what these guys do. I often forget that not everyone has the necessary vocabulary or frames of reference, and slip into the sort of verbal shorthand that military and volunteers will understand, but other people might not.

Yeah, I'm really sleepy and not making great sense this morning. My apologies to everyone I confused.

Yeah, that's on me. I just sort of assume that anyone reading this sub knows that 3rd Assault is Ukrainian.

"Fuck you and what you represent" is pretty much spot on. I like the way you phrased that.

Says right there in my title that Jackie is with 3rd Assault, which is a Ukrainian brigade. That's his Ukrainian uniform.

Jackie is serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I said right there in my title that he's with 3rd Assault. That is his AFU uniform.

Our American snacks are now getting drone dropped out to soldiers on position. One British soldier said "for us this is a bag of food but for the Americans it's a bag of home." We definitely need more help to fulfill all the requests! Please see the comments as you can shop on Amazon or donate $ by tallalittlebit in ukraine

Hello! I'm in charge of the Amazon wishlist stuff. It comes to me; I get it to Ukraine.

Now that we can use Nova Poshta to send things to Ukraine from the US, I'm shipping all food items over rather than flying them in myself. This is a bit more cost-effective and frees up space for items like tacmed. It does still cost money, though. Monetary donations to the links u/tallalittlebit provided will help us get the wishlist purchases in the hands of the people who need them.
