32 people were killed and 84 wounded by a russian strike with two ballistic missiles in the city of Sumy this morning. The attack occurred on Palm Sunday, as people were on their way to church. https://kyivindependent.com/russia-kills-over-20-in-sumy-on-palm-sunday/

Another step before any aid delivery is a full-on refresher on applying tourniquets to your own limbs and to others ⛑️ Even if you’ve had tactical medicine training (which every single person on our crew has), this skill needs to be at the level of reflex. You have to be able to do it without thinking; if you get hit, there will be pain, adrenaline, panic, and you’ll need to act fast, especially if you’re applying it to yourself and are on the verge of losing consciousness and bleeding out. Either way, this is a good skill to have - not just for work in a war zone, but in everyday life (Google the Ukrainian soldier who saved a stabbing victim in Venice, Italy, and prevented him from bleeding out). Even if you’re a civilian, knowing how to do this without hesitation can save someone’s life. (Also, saw this patch with Pepe and the tourniquet in a local coffee shop - it’s perfect 🐸🔥)

Last night, 19 russian drones were shot down by air defense over Kyiv. And now, a ballistic missile threat. They never fucking stop terrorizing people 🤬 Also, the place we’re heading to deliver some of the supplies to was just hit by guided aerial bombs. We’ll have to watch out for that tomorrow and Tuesday 😶‍🌫️

Finished packing for the “road trip” 🪖 I’ll be meeting other aid workers in Kyiv, and we’ll hit the road east towards the frontlines Sunday morning ⛑️🚗🇺🇦 While I’m in Kyiv on Saturday, I’ve set up some meetings with foreign journalists who cover the war - always really insightful conversations I look forward to 🫂

Great reels from the Superhumans Center. Huge thank you to Prince Harry for coming to Ukraine and raising awareness about this rehabilitation center 🤍 More eyes on it means more major donors, and hopefully they’ll be able to open more locations in other cities soon, as the waitlist for those needing to join the program and receive prosthetics is quite long. And of course, anyone can donate to them on their website. If you’re looking for a great cause to support, please check it out: https://superhumans.com/en/donate/

My friends from the Superhumans Center shared some videos with me earlier from Harry’s visit. It was so nice to see him make it out to Ukraine to support the center and all the injured Ukrainians who are currently recovering there (and our British friend Eddy!!!). What a great human he is 🤍 His visit wasn’t disclosed to the press until he exited the country, but the news is finally coming out 🙏 https://apnews.com/article/prince-harry-ukraine-war-victims-79a417133f8a5ae1e98c4f2f7ecc411c

Prepping first aid kits for myself and other volunteers. Hoping, as always, that none of this will have to be used. 🤞 We’re heading out to the frontlines Sunday morning. 🌻⛑️🇺🇦🙏

This is why I don’t want to use any other platform for fundraising besides @endaoment. They’re literally the best, and their Universal Impact Pool is such a huge help - especially for small nonprofits! 🙌⛑️

sound on. this is what it sounds like outside most nights. the air raid sirens are screaming because a bunch of russian drones are on the way. as always, the hope is that air defense shoots them down before they reach the residential areas.

Picking up the last supplies today, and we are heading out to the frontlines on Sunday 🥹🙏⛑️ Our partner nonprofit just finished their fundraiser and got all their supplies too, so we are all ready now. I’m so happy we can team up like this. These frontline deliveries are dangerous and difficult to plan, that’s why we are taking one car, loading it up and making a single trip over several days. This allows us to reach every location on our list for multiple nonprofits in one go. It’s much more efficient, and in my eyes, safer too, with fewer opportunities for russians to target multiple vehicles.
