Krzysztof just returned from his most dangerous mission to date! He writes: "In general, it is very dangerous in Kharkov and there are speculations that Russia will want to capture this city. It is attacked several at times every day with bombs and rockets.“
He continues:”It is an unimaginable noise and bang, but the most dangerous thing ….is a very large amount of rocket debris that falls to the ground…you need to be far away from the explosion because if you are nearby, …you may be injured. This is my new experience and learning in this terrible war.”
“On May 18, I experienced something that will always remain in my memory….I applied for the evacuation of civilians from Wotczansk in Kharkov. We set off in the convoy but unfortunately our efforts were interrupted when our convoy was attacked and the evacuation was canceled.”
“ Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t help…I feel very angry and sad that the lives of those who were left in the city could not be saved. This is an unimaginable loss that is a tough one to bear.”
“These types of experiences undeniably leave lasting imprints on the heart and mind. But even though I feel sadness and sorrow, I also feel the strength and obligation to remember that everyone has a duty to help others and that even in the most difficult moments, we must persevere in hope. I am convinced that with our actions and determination, we can together create a better future.“
Krzysztof collected political banners from the latest Polish election and delivered them to help people cover their bombed out windows, doors and roofs. He also delivered food, shoes, clothes, medicine and more. He was able to gift our AAI Ukrainian bracelets to people he met along the way.
Krzysztof WILL NOT STOP and truly believes that TOGETHER WE CAN DO MUCH! He is only able to accomplish these dangerous missions to bring in greatly needed aid WITH YOUR HELP! Your donation will go directly to support the people in Ukraine who need it most!
This month Krzysztof organized a conference to acknowledge families of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians who are currently imprisoned by the Russians, The event was held on June 14, the anniversary of the first Jewish prisoner transport to Auschwitz-Birkenau. We must not forget our history of atrocities against victims of the Nazis then and Ukrainians captured, tortured and murdered by Putin's troops today. LET THERE BE PEACE!
