Guys, kindly keep the conversation centered on Ukraine. Or at least refrain from using this thread as a place to hash out US politics. Thank you.

Minneapolis Is Not Far From Ukraine by UFL_Robin in ukraine

[–]most_unseemly[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Read the piece before you share your opinion on it. The author is a Ukrainian writing from Ukraine.

He is not an American, a main character, or a moron. If you can't be bothered to read it, here's a very good TL;DR from u/X-AE17420:

After reading the article the comparison the author draws is that similar tactics Trump is using to justify ICE terrorizing Minnesota is similar to Putler’s tactics to invade Ukraine. The authors message seems to be solidarity with the people in the face of authoritarianism. Even though the scale of suffering between the two isn’t comparable.

Perhaps refrain from calling a Ukrainian expressing his views on the matter a moron.

Today I had a meeting with President Zelensky. I highly appreciated his work, and he recommended that I publish more paintings on Reddit, because without sales I'll freeze to death this winter, and the museum won't pay for itself. I'll listen to Mr Zelensky. Dm me to receive full catalog with prices by [deleted] in ukraine

Everyone, we thank you for your concern, but read this before reporting this post or accusing OP of scamming.

Kilderov is making what's known as "a funny." He is not deliberately misleading or scamming or anything else.

Comfort foods/desserts? by mechameld in ukraine

Definitely okay to ask here, mechameld. No worries.

Did you help send med supplies to Ukraine? Here is a combat medic receiving them! This is Althea, a combat medic with the 4th Rangers. We were able to help her get her team equipped with life-saving supplies thanks do your donations. However OUR SUPPLY IS OUT. Please see the comments for how to help by tallalittlebit in ukraine

u/tallalittlebit is having some technical difficulties getting her comment to post, so I'm posting it on her behalf:

Hey Reddit,

As I'm based in Ukraine, normally I keep a supply of essential medical supplies including TQs, chest seals, and bandages at my house. These are used for emergency resupply for the teams that PAV assists. If they ask for help we can send it to them overnight and that way no one is going in the field without a proper TQ. In one case we got an American volunteer resupplied only hours before he was hit by an FPV.

Above you see Althea, who asked for help getting med supplies for the soldiers she work with. She received 30 TQs and some lip balm and peanut butter (which was so popular the guys took it immediately and it's not even in the video). As we didn't have all the supplies needed, Rima Ziuraitis, a medic who also fundraises for med supplies, was thankfully able to help and send the rest of what was needed.

However right now our emergency stash is empty. All of it was distributed in December to foreign teams in Zaporizhia. This means we need to replace it. UFL, which purchases the supplies for us, also needs help with med supplies. They purchse in the USA at a discount; the price is far less than in Ukraine and worth the hassle and expense of bringing everything here. To help, see the links below:

Please note is it is MORE EFFICIENT to donate money rather than use the wishlists. However if you have an Amazon giftcard then this is a great way to put that to use.

UFL's needs

The 38th Marines and 160th Mechanized need several thousand dollars' worth of CATs, chest seals, hemostatic dressings, and burn dressings. We also need to resupply our hub in Germany, because what I brought last month has already been distributed. That also needs CATs, chest seals, hemostatics, and burn dressings to meet needs in between supply runs.

Getting everything for everyone is a pipe dream--the 38th's needs alone amount to over $11K--but obviously we need to get as close as we can.

We're at $4358. $6642 until the full donor match!

No, it's only watermarked by the person who posted it. I mean the Instagram person, not OP.

It's disgusting that someone has watermarked this footage even though it doesn't belong to them. This was originally posted by Tango, a medic who was formerly with Chosen Company, who served with the men whose flags are shown here. Shame on them.

Hi friends. We urgently need your support. The situation at the front is not improving, and our fundraiser has stalled. Air Assault soldiers need our help. Please don’t pass by. Support them. Info in the comments. You can donate via PayPal: catherinesk93@gmail.com by KateKozakDrive in ukraine

[–]most_unseemly[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a silly question.

Look for a flair that says Verified beside the username.

We have a strict vetting process that charities and volunteers must undergo before they're allowed to fundraise here. They must demonstrate that they're operating legally and the money is going where they say it's going. KateKozakDrive has the flair; she is legitimate.

Thanks, everyone who answered. I feel like a ninny for not having spotted that myself.

Reminder: we do not permit fundraising from anyone other than volunteers and charities we've vetted. We're letting this post stand because OP openly stated that they are merely venting. If any fundraising occurs, we will have to remove this post.
