Director of Protect a Volunteer, which supports foreign volunteers in Ukraine by directly matching them with donors. Radical centrist. Views my own.

Ukraine
I have very exciting news that we have been working on for a long time and it’s now official. Protect a Volunteer now has a Memorandum of Cooperation and Interaction with the Foreign Recruitment Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For OPSEC purposes I am not sharing the exact details of the agreement. However we are looking forward to working on the shared goals of helping more foreigners come to assist Ukraine’s fight and provide them with appropriate support once they arrive. Ukraine’s defense of its own territory is remarkable; so are the contribution of foreign volunteers who fight with them. Integrating thousands of volunteers coming from all around the world has not been easy. It understandably took time for Ukraine to formalize a system to be able to expand their recruitment of foreigners as well as the opportunities they have in Ukraine. Now that it is formalized under a central command we are looking forward to working together. We will have a lot of updates soon regarding this partnership.

I think there was a conflict of interest. The original prosecutor was a Cornell grad. Alums of elite schools have an interest in protecting the names of where we got our degrees.
BREAKING: Prosecutors in central New York say they are reopening the investigation of alleged "gang rape" at a Cornell University frat, after a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month sparked outrage about the incident. Keep the pressure on!

I know so many foreigners who serves since 2022 or 2023 and are fed up and going home or thinking about it. No one wants special treatment or awards but getting blatant mistreatment will make even the most dedicated leave. Ukraine really needs to deal with this situation given they now say they need more foreigners to fight.
Replying to @tak_ya_anna
People like you are literally the reason foreigners are getting tired of serving here. Absolute disrespect.

This entire story is disturbing. I write a lot of letters of recommendation and some of my favorite students to write for were the 4 male students I had in China who stopped a rape. Two of them saw a European exchange student take an unconscious girl back to his room. They knocked on my door because they knew I lived on campus and would do something. I went and knocked on his door. Loudly. Many times. He wouldn’t open. A 3rd male student heard this and woke up his roommate. That roommate was a martial arts expert who kicked in the door. Somehow in this case FOUR young men saw that happening and intervened. They know they can do something. If they didn’t they are choosing not to.
yes the Cornell rape incident is horrible, but a more overlooked sinister detail is that they advertised it in a group chat and NONE of the guys reported it or stopped them. Men enable men.

We are still trying to match a lot of teams up with donors. One volunteer we are matching has been in Ukraine for years, rarely asks for anything but now he needs help getting an NVG. The best endorsement I can give for him is he posts on the foreign legion subreddit and is one of the most normal guys there. Just gives advice and helps people. If you have ever read it you know how rare that is. You can sign up on the website to match with him. Any amount helps. He is also a cat dad so expect great cat photos.

There are fewer than 2,000 Yukaghirs alive today and the Yukaghir languages have fewer than 500 speakers. Russia is sending them to the Ukraine meat grinder, while 3rd-world minority activists and decolonialists cheer.
The joke here is that there are so few living Yukaghirs left in Russia that each and every one of them must be known by their 3 digit serial number. One of those will die in the next meat wave some 5000 miles away from his ancestral lands in Eastern Siberia. Such fun.

Three things that just might be related: * the rise of identitarian deference politics * cultural expansion of the concept of "disability" * the fact that disability is the only plausible basis for political deference that can be invoked by professional class white people

If you think you have seen arguments before just wait. Lawyers are now arguing about what seniority you should have to pay for lunch. This might take a month there is no end to the what if scenarios.

Важливе прохання до ЗМІ: фільтруйте та перевіряйте інформацію яка виходить на публіку. Бажання висвітлити реальність іноді заважає діяльності в порятунку людей. Перевіряйте джерела, радьтесь, та не підставляйте людей що залишаються в Олешках. Вихід є, але він має бути тихим. Дяка
Запустилась важлива хвиля уваги до катастрофи в Олешках, тепер відчувається емоційне спустошення. Брак сил на інтервʼю та соц мережі, лише бажання щоб й далі вдавалось витягати звідти людей. Пізніше вийду з комунікацією а поки тримайте кулачки щоб наступні люди вийшли живими 🙏🏼🤫

One of many updates we will have related to restocking the foreign teams of 3rd Army Corps. Here is an assault team in the 60th receiving mags. Having enough of these is the difference between life or death. Our general fund supplied these.

Definitely watch this! Jackie from 3rd Army Corps discusses Operation Vivaldi. Jackie is matched with donors directly through Protect A Volunteer. He is the Senior Western Military Advisor with 3rd Army Corps. If you are interested in helping Ukraine transition to NATO style military doctrine, definitely watch this and support him if you can.
New Details of Operation Vivaldi With Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps Today, we’re talking with a member of the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps to get an idea of what we’re seeing and maybe more importantly, how much is still yet to be released. SGT John "Jackie" Roberts is an American veteran who has been fighting in Ukraine since 2022. He now serves as a Senior American Military Instructor the 3rd Army Corps who is leading this current offensive in the east.

Foreign fighters, you guys can order your own beef jerky at a discount. Don’t pay the 160 hrivyna in the store, OBJerky.com has a For Heroes section on the website with massive discounts on jerky for soldiers. This is how PAV orders. If you want to order more for yourselves, put in an app on our website and say you want jerky but pay yourselves. We will contact you to help you order. A lot of you need far more of this than donors can ever provide so if you are not getting enough this at least saves you money.

I think a lot of people outside Ukraine don’t realize how big the Shaheds actually are. These aren’t the small drones these are like a mini airplane. Far bigger and a human.
Дуже гарне рішення, бо 90% цивільних думають, що дрон Shahed та умовний Mavic приблизно одного розміру, і навіть не усвідомлюють рівень загрози. А тут яскрава демонстрація того, чому варто дослухатися до повітряних тривог та попереджень. P.S. Стадо токсичних інфлюенсерів уже це хейтить, бо це їхній стиль життя.

People in Oleshky have resorted to eating weeds or whatever plants that might still be growing. These people are starving. Keep sharing about Oleshky.
People in temporarily occupied Oleshky are starving. There is almost nothing left to eat. Reports indicate that civilians are being forced to survive on grass and weeds, while medicines, clean water, electricity, and medical care are increasingly out of reach. Children are trapped in these conditions too. This suffering has a clear cause and a clear perpetrator. Russia has brought this catastrophe to Oleshky through its illegal occupation and bears full responsibility for this humanitarian disaster, all of its consequences, and the innocent civilian lives lost as a result. The international community must mobilize every available instrument to reach people in Oleshky, deliver humanitarian assistance, and ensure the safe evacuation of those who want to leave. The @UN, the @ICRC, and other international actors must use their mandates and channels to secure immediate and unhindered humanitarian access. I appreciate @CommissionerHR Michael O’Flaherty for drawing international attention to the situation in Oleshky. Now this attention must be followed by action. People there cannot survive on statements of concern. Humanitarian access and safe evacuation must become a reality, because every day matters.

They are talking about @objerkycom which is a Ukrainian company that gives discounted beef jerky to soldiers. We buy it and distribute it. The donations we get for this are also supporting a Ukrainian company. The jerky is really good.
They sent 5! FIVE BOXES! I have shared the contents with 6 people in total, 3 Ukrainians and 3 foreigners that are on our position or rotating our friends. They love it

He got a new plate carrier and beef jerky!
Thank you, Protect a Volunteer for supplying me with a WAS DCS 5.56 Plate Carrier, this will greatly improve my combat capabilities. Also Thanks for the boxes of beef jerkies, now we can actually maintain combat readiness with ease. Special thanks to @RachelPAV and Tracksuit

This is sad to see.
I realised, constantly witnessing Ukrainians being screwed by foreigners, trying to convince some foreign supporters be less condescending and arrogant (unsuccessfully), watching all the egos and personality cults, etc makes me felling helpless, which adds up to war trauma badly
