People should step up here. I would happily spend a week out in Ukraine helping them repair their infra. Where are the european humanitarian coordinations?
Ukraine’s civilian army takes aim at Russia as Moscow steps up strikes
Tens of thousands of ordinary citizens from computer wizards to pensioners are intrinsic to Kyiv’s war effortwww.ft.com
"It took less than 48 hours after Russia unleashed a massive missile and drone bombardment of Ukraine this month for the aptly named “You Have Enraged Ukrainians” crowdfund to raise almost $10mn to buy 50 kamikaze drones.
“Thank you generous and noble Ukrainians,” celebrity turned fundraiser Serhiy Prytula, who helped organise the campaign, wrote on social media. “We will make sure these funds are well spent on effective support of our armed forces!”
Prytula is one of the more visible of the tens of thousands of ordinary citizens who have joined Ukraine’s war effort since President Vladimir Putin of Russia launched his all-out invasion of their country in February.
They form a shadow army of activists, from youthful computer wizards to patriotic pensioners, determined to do their bit. Their fervour also reflects a recent Gallup poll which showed that almost three-quarters of Ukrainians believe the country should keep fighting until the Russians are defeated and pushed out.
With Moscow having failed in its initial war aim of subjugating Ukraine quickly, the Kremlin’s latest plan is to break the will of its people with almost daily rocket strikes that have already destroyed a third of the energy plants — just as winter is coming....
...If anything, though, the Russian strategy which was stepped up on October 10 has so far only strengthened Ukrainians’ resolve."
Well, who could have seen that coming?
Ukranians need to stop at all costs the Russians from blowing up the Hydro dam. If they do that.. well the Russians absolutely should go down for that act alone. Anyone who for one minute believes 'Nato creep' is justification for genocide then they need their heads examined.
