There is a lack of support to small towns in Ukraine. They are cut off from supplies, electricity and relief. We are filling cars w/food, medical aid and generators and convoying them to these Ukrainian towns. Help support us w/our dedicated account Venmo: @backroadsfoundation

In September, @UNICEF has shipped 320 metric tons of humanitarian aid to Poltava, central #Ukraine, to support the growing number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) with education, health and water and sanitation supplies.
We returned 215 people from Russian captivity: 188 defenders of #Azovstal and Mariupol. 108 Azov warriors, national guards, marines, border guards, policemen, territorial defense, Security Service employees. They’re safe now. We remember and try to save everyone. 1/3

Meet Father George and Father Vasily. They shelter internally displaced #Ukrainians at their church in Storozhynets AND get aid to the cities in Eastern #Ukraine most impacted by war. LHI is proud to partner with Father George! ow.ly/uyec50KEOjP

Had a phone conversation with the US President's National Security Advisor @JakeSullivan46. Discussed the continuation of security assistance to the 🇺🇦 army. Thanked our American allies for standing side by side with the Ukrainian people in the fight against Russian aggressors.

Nobody, but especially children and civilians, should be the victims in war crimes.
“Russian forces carried out a missile strike that narrowly missed a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, officials in Kyiv said, days after an international watchdog warned that shelling at another atomic energy site risked causing a serious incident.” on.ft.com/3LpJOo4

In Ukraine, so many windows have been shattered by explosions that there is a nationwide run on glass — a big problem as the country scrambles to get damaged homes ready for winter. nyti.ms/3qPuhnX

Solomon Smith brought his son on a trip through Ukraine to visit some of the Orphan children. Support is usually only giving supplies that he felt it could be a great sense of connection and trust with some of these kids to bring his son to play with the other kids. #Ukraine️

Delivered two van loads full of food to the front lines. Many of these groups are not able to source or afford food due to unemployment and scarcity. #Ukraine #MilaKunis @BackroadsFound
