I am going to Sticky this thread for a little while. Seems like having access to donation links is important.... as well as current Man-On-The-Street commentary.
Today is the second day without a sleep for my home city. People have been awakened by the sounds of air strike alarms, learning to run and hide in the bomb shelters. On the central street there is a russian missile x-31, two civil multi-storey buildings are burning after being hit by the russian missiles, and no, there are no army objects nearby. Multiple cities are being hit by missiles, civil houses and bridges are burning. Chernobyl nuclear plant has been occupied by the russian diversionists, the radiation levels have increased because of the heavy military machines.
My city has drastically changed. 3 days ago the life was blossoming here, now all you can see is empty streets blocked by Ukrainian military vehicles in order to stop russian tanks. Streets are being patrolled by the united forces of the Ukrainian army, police, veterans and few thousand armed volunteers. Any civilian is eligible to receive a weapon like AK-47 to defend his city, only national passport is needed. Shots are being fired between them and russian forces that got into the city. Ukrainian army is holding on but the situation is extremely difficult…
putin’s tactic is an international terror act. Russian propaganda says that there NATO bases in Ukraine that are threatening russia’s existence, but unfortunately the only place you can find them is inside their heads. No NATO troops will fight for Ukraine, no one will defend us except our army – this was officially stated by NATO officials many times.
This is not just a war against the united forces of putin and his servant, known as the “last european dictator”, or so-called president of Belarus lukashenko. Both have been ruling their countries for 20+ years killing their political rivals and destroying the freedom of speech. It is now officially prohibited to call today’s events a ‘war’ in russia – if media does so, they risk going to prison.
This is the war of values, it is about the future of our world. On the one side are propaganda, censorship, lies, dictatorship, killings, the contempt to human rights or freedom, police lawlessness. The only law that works in these two countries is a law of force and prison’s conduct. On the other side are freedom of speech, peace, very weak, but still, a democracy, the freedom of choice, respect of human rights and everything that is called European values. No, I don’t want to idealize my country – it has many inner problems like corruption or oligarchs power. Ukraine moves very slowly and very weakly but it does so in the right direction, but this is another story.
These days Ukraine have been fighting for it’s rights and the rights of the whole Western world trying to stop putin’s terror. The governments of the Western countries have been imposing sanctions and helping with weapons but the pace is too slow, with each hour adding more and more unneeded deaths and destroyed families.
Do you know how does it feel like to talk by phone with your close friends knowing that this could be the last time you hear them? What happens inside, when you hug your father, who stays in the fighting city, because you know that there is a possibility that it may not happen again? When your girlfriend’s mom calls in tears telling that her husband, who has some health issues, has joined the local defense to protect their small town? Well I do know and I wish you all to never experience anything like that.
Everyone who is reading this message can join this battle. Being apolitical and staying aside will not work – if Ukraine falls – the EU is next. Putin’s wet dream is to divide and conquer the whole Europe and to recreate USSR and he’s been quite successful in it so far. Being indifferent is alike staying still on the street watching a man getting beaten to death by thugs and doing nothing. Everyone, absolutely everyone can do something to stop this madness!
You can join your country’s meetings supporting Ukraine and pressuring your government to increase economical sanctions against russia – they are just not severe enough, not enough countries are eager to loose money by stopping business with the aggressor, but if people scream, they will listen, let’s hope it won’t be too late. You can spread this information among your friends and neighbours, you can help financially Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers, who are giving their lives to stop the KGB maniac. There are several organizations that accept financial help, the official government’s army account, multi currency fiat:
https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/nats...potrebi-armiyi
or you can donate crypto to the most well-known volunteer organization “Return alive”
https://savelife.in.ua/en/
I don’t believe in god but I believe in the Ukrainian army and volunteers who are willing to die for my and your freedom. This is the only force that is holding a much larger and stronger army led by the crazy dictator.
I am now donating and writing this post during the stops in my journey from Kyiv to the western Ukraine, driving my girlfriend and my mom to the safe place, of course, if you can call it ‘safe’, given the airstrikes that happen in all major Ukrainian cities. Once they are safe – my plan is to help local defense doing whatever I can - I’ve never hold an AK-47 in my arms, with my shooting experience being limited to the few visits of the shooting range.
Glory to Ukrainian warriors. Justice will prevail.

I personally believe in only one type of donation atm which is Ukrainian army. This is the only force fighting for your and my freedom snd willing to die for it against a MUCH stronger enemy.
I’ve donated 5k$ by crypto that i had and requested a 100k euro payment from my EU bank with signed (but not verified in the consulate because it has moved out of Ukraine). Bank promised to my lawyer that they will do whatever they can to make it, waiting for them to contact me.
P.S. Today’s video of russians bombing 2nd biggest Ukrainian city with 2 million civilians, while NATO is being “deeply concerned” but not sending a single soldier.
