A Trip to Support the Defenders in the Kramatorsk Area

09 May 2026

We recently returned from another trip to the Kramatorsk area. Today, the situation there is changing so rapidly that every trip is planned as a unique opportunity to deliver aid in time. We realize that due to the constantly shifting front line, the routes we took today may find themselves in the line of fire tomorrow or become completely inaccessible to volunteers.

The front line is shifting extremely rapidly in this area. What was considered a relative rear area and safe for travel just yesterday may already be “ground zero” today. That is precisely why our volunteer aid has turned into a real race against time. It is crucial for us to stay one step ahead of the situation so that we can deliver the necessary equipment to the military exactly when it is most critical for carrying out combat missions.

We are convinced that timely aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is aid that reaches the defender’s hands at the very moment when it can save a life or provide a technical advantage in battle. But winning this race against time is becoming increasingly difficult. In this race, we have a chance of success only because we are backed by people and organizations that provide us with the necessary resources for every kilometer of the journey. Your support is the “fuel” that allows us to act quickly and systematically.

We are sincerely grateful to our partners and donors, whose contributions laid the foundation for this trip:

  • Ukraine Helfer
  • Oleksandr Barba
  • Ralf Berninger
  • Konstantin and Yevgen Sokolov
  • PUMB Bank
  • Wir sind hier
  • Henryk Pich 

Thanks to your trust, we remain effective, and thus—step by step—we are truly bringing our shared Victory closer. Every donation you make, every vehicle or piece of specialized equipment you donate, is a real action that changes the situation on the front lines.

We continue our work. Glory to Ukraine!
