Congratulations to Ukraine on Independence Day - The Shield of Europe

22/08/2024

Last week I was in Ukraine delivering aid and vehicles into Ukraine. For obvious reasons, I was unable to post anything whilst inside Ukraine. It was very intense, long days and early starts. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be part of a 6 man team from a brilliant organization called https://ukrainefreedomcompany.org/ .
As some of you may recall, we recently held a fundraiser at The Stone Horse Higham Limited where we raised £1008.54. All of this money was transferred to the Ukraine Freedom Company. This money was used towards purchasing vehicles and aid that was sent to the front line in Ukraine. Your generosity made a difference and we are extremely grateful for your support.
This was my second trip with UFC, and I was fortunate to meet and become friends with some of the Kraken Regiment in Ukraine. These guys and other Ukrainian units are protecting our interests, and fighting our war with Russia. So it was an enormous honor for me to receive a certificate of thanks from the Kraken regiment https://militaryland.net/.../kraken-special-detachment/
We will be holding another event later in the year. In the meantime, if you would like to donate to the Ukraine Freedom Company or the Kraken Regiment then please click on the links above.

Ukraine is observing a day of mourning after dozens of missiles fired by Russia struck several cities across the country, killing at least 41 people and wounding more than 150. Russia deliberately targeted a children's hospital and a Maternity hospital.

Ukraine is winning the war and the ruzzian economy is beginning to fail. It is estimated that ruzzia is losing approximately over a 1000 military personnel a day.

An estimate of the cost of military equipment that the Russian army has lost during the fight against Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Of course, these calculations are very approximate and do not claim to be particularly accurate. Nevertheless, they give an idea of the general order of losses.

Ruzzian losses

Tanks — 7958 (+2)
Armored fighting vehicle — 15287 (+18)

Can you donate a small gift to help a child in Ukraine. There are many children who have lost one or both parents during the Russian war in Ukraine. Many children have lost their homes or are in hospital with serious injuries. With your help we can make a child's Christmas just that little bit better.
Santa Sleigh is scheduled to visit Cliffe, and we would love to fill it up with lots of small Christmas presents for the Children.
It's really easy to donate. Either buy a small gift and drop it at our address, or use the "Amazon Wish List" I have created and have your gift delivered directly to us.

Russia's war crimes must be punished. In evil country deserves no mercy.

Offering the Russian president a face-saving compromise will only enable future aggression.

Good morning World! Good morning Ukraine!
The price of Freedom

There is no official count available for casualties in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but it is reportedly very high.

From 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to midnight of 23 May 2022, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 8,533 civilian casualties in the country: 3,942 killed and 4,591 injured.

The actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations with intense hostilities has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk Oblast), Izium (Kharkiv Oblast), and Popasna (Luhansk Oblast).

We are so close to this and now it has touched us. The receptionist at the Dentist that myself, Niyole and our friends know well, has lost everything. She comes from a town called Borodyanka, 75 km from Kyiv. That town no longer exists. Ira (the receptionist) and her young son, sister & mother hid for 6 days in a basement whilst all around them Russian military bombed and killed innocent civilians and children. When they finally ventured out there was nothing left of their home. Everything was gone, all they had were the clothes they stood in. We had been trying to contact Ira for nearly a week and had feared the worst. But then Ira called my wife yesterday. Ira was in shock. She told Niyole that where once she had everything, now she has nothing. A mother to look after, a young son to care for and her sister, all left with nothing. She can see no future further than trying to survive. We are crying! This is why we do what we can. We know these people and so many of our friends and family are in similar difficult situations. Russia is carrying out war Crimes and killing innocent people. They are inhuman without morals.
Like so many of you we are doing everything we can to help. So thank you to everyone who is, because good families like Ira do not deserve this.
