Jonas is originally Swedish and he is most active Lithuanian in support of Ukraine since the Maidan times. He lives in Lithuania God knows how long, speaks fluent Lithuanian - he is the best of Lithuanians.
there was a group here in Finland who gathered extra gear and medical supplies from finnish reservists.I had extra plate carrier and some torniques and pressure bandages so I donated them.Slava Ukraini!!

On what basis did the UK refuse to settle the UN in Buchi declared by Russia??? This is a gross violation of the UN Charter… Did you hear what Zelensky said? Offered to dissolve the UN!!! Idiot... Russia has irrefutable evidence that the Ukrainian regime itself staged a provocation in Bucha. But no one wants to listen to her.... So much for the entire democracy of the Western world. This is a war between Russia and the United States, and Ukraine is a bargaining chip. The United States controls all the media in the world, and of course, Russia is losing badly in the information war. There is an assumption that the provocation in Bucha was organized under pressure from the United States so that Ukraine would refuse to negotiate with the Russians. The Russians, on the contrary, in order for the negotiations to be successful, responded with their troops from Kiev, but this step was perceived as weakness...Powerful propaganda of the West breaks the consciousness of ordinary people

These guys require a salute and whatever can be done for these heroes.
I agree with him when he said to the journalists, no comment, some people have been giving too much information freely to the enemy which they intern can use to block supplies getting into Ukraine. Please reduce the amount of information as the Russians are not honestly saying what they are doing or had planned on doing from the first day.

Wonderful story. That anti-drone drone is wicked cool. They fire it into the air and any drone in close proximity either drops to the ground or follows it to the ground. Almost cartoon-like!!!. There was some other youtube clip where it was demonstrated in action in Ukraine

"Delivering equipment"... having just quit smoking, I could not help but notice the cigarette in the soldier's hand in the cover photo. Yes, delivering needed supplies. I found my reaction amusing. I'm thrilled Ukraine is getting equipment they seriously need! Thank you for the good news and the moment of self deprecating humor. I needed the chuckle. Keep up the good work
Great job reporting on this! I had wondered how in the world this was being accomplished. God Bless the men and women putting themselves in harms way to assist the Ukrainians fighting for their lives against an unjust assault on their country.

Great news piece guys! Thanks Jason for your bravery to take a ride-along. EDIT: Thanks to the volunteers as well!
A simple suggestion for aid to the Ukrainian soldiers, Nicotine Gum and patches etc its just as effective as smoking cigarettes but without giving away their positions by lighting up at night, too many soldiers have died on duty just for a smoke in quite a few wars.
Thank you! You make our Milwaukee proud!!
