Sunset in Kharkiv馃嚭馃嚘 馃寚

It was a long ride. Time to rest.

1/2 馃寘馃嚭馃嚘 Odesa #Sunrise | Before the Work Begins

It鈥檚 my first day of humanitarian volunteering in #Odesa. I got up early to catch the sunrise before the work begins.

In every city and village I visit, I see Ukrainians striving to live with dignity and normalcy鈥攅ven under daily attacks. That is a profound form of defiance, a refusal to surrender to terrorism. But let鈥檚 be clear: Russia鈥檚 targeting of civilians is a grave violation of international law. The cost is real. The trauma is daily.

2/2

Today, I鈥檒l be connecting with Coast of Life, a grassroots Ukrainian group supporting frontline defenders with trench candles and warming balms. Their work is vital, a small act of care that brings a morale-boost with each delivery.

Please like and follow to support their mission鉃★笍 https://linktr.ee/coastoflife_od

Proud to stand in solidarity and I鈥檒l keep sharing updates.

The peace process is fragile. Putin is betting on division, but unity among allies can preserve the rules-based order that has kept the world secure for decades. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/08/22/trump-ukraine-peace-process/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials#ukrainerussiawar #donaldtrump #vladimirputin#volodymyrzelenskyy #shigeruishiba
