Against the backdrop of geo-political negotiations over the supply of heavy weapons, some Ukrainian citizens are tailoring their lives more and more to support a war they believe cannot be won by international military aid alone.
This week, the fundraising of company executive turned military volunteer, Seva Koshel - who has completed more than 15 military assignments to source vehicles for the front line - helps a tank unit near Bakhmut.
“I just had a few calls with my guys who are nearby Bakhmut,” he explains. “Last week we have crowdfunded some money and we bought four tablets for [our] guys who are serving in one of the brigades."They’re in tank regiment and they need this tablet, as they put some special military software [on it] and their fire will be better now.
Meanwhile, months of fighting in the east has resulted in more displaced families arriving into Kyiv. “These are the people who moved from the east and south of Ukraine,” explains diarist, Oksana Koshel. “From the towns and villages that are now facing a threat of possible occupation or destruction. “They now find themselves in, you know, severe need of things that we use everyday, such as like, towels or cutlery or bedding [and] blankets.”Related Topics
