Crystal Hearts

When we speak about our army currently fighting the russians, people always imagine some kind of professional military… but it’s students, journalists, dancers, poets, startup founders, farmers…

I feel like this always somehow escapes people, everyone imagines some kind of professional war machine & doesn’t feel much empathy or compassion, when it’s so many regular people who lived happy lives, pursuing their passions and building careers, who had to jump in and learn how to fight and become medics when the genocidal invaders came. 

So, if you see this post, scroll down and check the civilian professions of these amazing people (I’m proud to know some of them IRL) and imagine yourself in their place.

Sharing this as a reminder: when I say that @crystalhearts is helping our defenders, this is who I’m sending supplies to, people from all walks of life who are risking their lives defending Ukraine from invasion, they are the reason many Ukrainian cities are not under russian occupation.

When someone invades your homeland - hell-bent on the complete eradication of your country, nationality, ethnicity, family, friends, neighbors - people of all walks of life answer the call to defend. 

These are just a handful of the faces of those courageous defenders, all of whom identified as someone other than 'soldier' before the war.
