Remember don't donate to any global humanitarian companies such as red cross, amnesty international and whatnot.
They take a huge share of donations for their own needs and there are even times that no money makes it to the cause.
The actual first place to go is u24.gov.ua/ this is United24
It is a platform presented by president Zelensky.
Secondly you might choose some volunteers that are helping Ukraine in various areas.
prytulafoundation.org/en
Serhei Prytula foundation is one of the most known ones
Other well-known foundations are Army SOS and Come Back Alive
savelife.in.ua/en/
armysos.com.ua/
For Medical and humanitarian aids you have Leleka Foundations, Razom and United Help Ukraine
www.leleka.care/
www.razomforukraine.org/
unitedhelpukraine.org/
You can also see some people on twitter from different parts of Ukraine, but I cannot verify any of those, so do it at your own risk.

Its so hard for me to believe the Congress is on vacation for a couple of weeks when something so important like Ukrainian lives are on the line.
The recess is disgusting, disgraceful. Johnson who called it works for Putin. They make me sick. Writing other letters, and it's good to see so many patriots here doing same. Slava Ukraini !
Mike Johnson the TRAITOR called the recess on purpose
It's ridiculous that this happened ... would they be on vacation as well if Alaska was invaded?
@@TheAndrian463 If the Kremlin orders it, they will abide. These are elected representtives of the US working on behalf of a hostile foreign power. But they will lose people one by one by one. Hope it will not be too late. And they will try and steal the next election, no matter what. We must stay hyper-vigilant.
Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are the traitors in this ‘game’
Thank you Georgie for the honest update. I’m a Canadian living in L.A.. I share your frustration and do what I can through donating to both UA24, NAFO 69th sniffing brigade, other small nonprofits that are bringing supplies to specific needs and writing and calling my state and national government reps. I tell you this only to say that I know many people like myself who are pushing for action here in the US I believe it will come however, I think you are 100% correct that the EU cannot trust their national security to the US. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!🇺🇦💪❤️🇨🇦
I’m in LA too and been donating a lot. We should try to setup a SoCal network to raise funds and stuff we can. Beyond money and weapons, there’s stuff like winter gear, binoculars, high end camping gear many of us have at home we can send.

Democracies are weak.. the fact you can have a party in the U.S. half controlled by Trump who is, effectively controlled by Putin proves Putin right.

Well done Georgjis, your forthright and emphatic report leaves no room for excuses. More must be done, and done now, to put a stop to this madness. Grow some courage everyone and do everything possible to force action from politicians. Do not be deceived into thinking this is all far away and won’t affect you. It affects us all.
Agree. Ridiculous how our politicians are so cowardly and indecisive.
"Too tough on russia." What a f##king joke. Scholz needs a kick up the arse.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but at least they’ve given $18.1b in military aid while France has given $630m (less than Lithuania).
It's the Telegraph lol Hardly a reliable source for anything but Racey Headlines.
When I was in eastern europe in the 1980's. people would ask me why Reagan was so soft on Russia. They knew what the west doesn't understand.
Scholz remains a jerk
so far only the daily telegraph, a right winged conservative newspaper, wrote about it. as a german i havent even heard once that scholz said those words nor that von der leyen tries to become nato secretary.
oh and trust me when i say this: you DONT wanna have von der leyen as the leader of nato. she knows dogshit about military operations. stoltenberg is much more capable.
Europe has to step up with supply. Don't rely on the U.S. The U.S. is playing politics. Europe do you think putin will stop with Ukraine.
@@fungalbob No, he won't. Putler will only stop when we stop him.
The biggest problem that Ukraine had in Avdiivka were FAB glide bombs. 60+ per day were striking Ukrainian strong points. These have a 50KM range and are massively destructive. What can shoot down SU-34s at >50KM? Patriot, with PAC-2. And F-16s with long ranged AMRAMMs.
The other problem was Denial. Why were no fallback fortifications built? The troops that have retreated are digging in. Why didn't engineers build fortifications well before they were needed? Big commercial excavators are much more effective in digging frozen ground than men with shovels.
Ukraine was supposed to be winning with a Massive Counterattack, not pulling back I guess... kind of hurts the optics if you say one thing and do another. Another example of not having a clear plan. You can't have plan B fortifications if you don't even have plan A.
Do we actually know that no fortifications were built? I've heard people say it but nothing concrete. Ukraine predicted that Avdiivka was going to fall months ago, so they knew it was coming. Also, backhoes next to the frontline would be very easy targets. Most of the digging would indeed need to be done by hand because Russia could easily blow up any heavy equipment that was working in one spot.
They dug fallback positions well in advance.
There were no fortifications built where they pulled back from Avdiivka, but a small ditch dug by hand, not deep enough for protection, according to a soldier in the 3rd AB, sadly.
Don't be riddicules.
Ukraine ARE building Fortification, but it is by far longer west of Avdivka.
So that they are not in the line of Russian fire while they are building it.
Avdivke was going to be left at some point, everyone could see this coming.
Thanks Georgi, for being there in these darkest times. When you say something, I know that it is completely sincere. When you were wrong, you admit it. You always want good people to prevail. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
OMG Georgy, you are awesome. Thanks. All that you tell us is brutally true. Slava Ukraine✌✊💪
Well said Georgis. I am angary too. Ukraine Matters
Apparently, Ukraine matters for the russians, too.
Happy to hear you really say as it is, God Help Ukraine, All these Doves in Europe will be very sorry they are not acting more aggressively on behalf of Ukraine.
All the bigger NATO countries pretty much refuse to act faster than "business as usual". When Germany was in danger of running out of gas/LNG in 2022, it took minister Habeck less than 2 weeks to put a few russia owned key companies under government control and restore their operations. When it comes to ammunition production, Rheinmetall reported 18 months(!) after Zeitenwende they didn't even receive a purchase order for ammunition yet, so they'd manufacture at half capacity. Minister here is Pistorius, his Wehrbeschaffungsamt is a well known bureaucratic, super slow time sink.
thats not true. pistorius is minister since january 2023. thats roughly a year, not 18 months, nor two years. and he took over a frigging disaster of a military. rheinmetall did receive money, else they wouldnt build a fucking new ammo factory now!
the zeitenwende btw. has nothing to do with funding ukraine. it means that 100 billion euros go to the restauration of the german army to protect itself in the future.
always those half assed false information you guys spit out ...

Most of USA is not for Trump or MAGA. I am a conservative and I write my republican congressman to support aid to Ukraine. He doesn't answer anymore, so I go visit him next. I will vote Democrat if I must, to defend American values and allies, especially in Ukraine. Trump is terrible for America. This time I will vote for anybody but not Trump this time. I will vote for anyone who supports Ukraine and defends us against Russian aggression.
Thank you John for standing on the right side of history.
Glory to Ukraine!!
Yup MAGA is an existential threat to United States. USA vs. MAGA and Ukraine vs Putin are two theaters of the same war.
I applaud your stand. However, if most of USA not Trump or MAGA supporters, how come they are controlling the narrative? American federal democracy is not fit for purpose when the tail is wagging the dog. The constitution was originally written to ensure the power of the powerful, it badly needs modernising to prevent it being abused by pricks like Trump. It's a dead document that should be living and responsive to the countries needs.
Thanks, John. It's refreshing to see a Republican with integrity ❤

Urge your Representative, Biden, and Hakeem Jeffries to work with House Republicans to REPLACE Speaker Johnson with a Republican who will allow a vote on Ukraine aid.
Maybe the non-MAGA republicans don’t want to serve as speaker. Nobody from those representatives was nominated or showed willingness to be speaker after McCarthy was ousted. All of those front runners were MAGA
Americans can look up their representatives and their contact info here:
www.communityforukraine.org/2023/12/07/congress-pass-ukraine-aid-now/
exactly. And they are going to either do that or there is another technique available to get it to the vote. #screwmicrojohnson
I support aid to Ukraine, but I also support securing our own southern border. How can anyone support one or the other, but not both? That makes no sense when securing our own border would only cost a faction of the aid to Ukraine and Israel.
I am US citizen, Georgy. Couldn't be more embarassed and angry about the total disfunction of our congress.
They should look into the outside influence clearly at play.
It’s simply because Johnson, Trump, and others like them are cowards at their core. Such appeasers, along with the CRT supporters and SJWs, are among the reasons why Ukraine lost that key city.
You will feel even more embarrassed when you listen to a CNN interview with Liz Chaney today, in which she tells us that Mike Johnson told her that God called him to be Moses.

The future of democracy looks very bleak. Too many stupid, power-hungry ego-centric maniacs are running and ruining the world. I would encourage you to prepare yourself for the worst while hoping for the best. You have to protect your mental health.
Monet once said: ""Europe will be forged in crises, and will be the sum of the solutions adopted for those crises". Considering the radical changes that have taken place in Europe, this is ringing true. The changes are permanent: military spending and production are on a significant rise. Everyone's talking about Europe having to take care of itself, with most finally putting real effort in it. It's moving slowly, but unfortunately we do have to build up from a very low point. For at least a year, it has sunk in at every leader (excl. Hungary) that it has past the point of return with nobody bothering to talk to Putin any more. It has now also sunk in and gained extra traction by Trump's speech that a war with Russia is becoming a real possibility. There's even talk about a European army, something that used to be only supported by the French but was an absolute no-no for the rest.
Don't forget that we're now entering the third year of the war and that there's still a number of countries in Europe providing serious support for Ukraine, with most likely a number of countries doing this unofficially (I suspect the French to be one of them).
The main problem currently is that while supporting Ukraine financially isn't a problem, the amount of military hardware and ammo that we can deliver is still limited - too limited to provide for Ukraine's needs. We still need the Americans for that. Unfortunately, they're an uncertain factor. But considering American politics is absolutely crazy, we can't rule out that they restart their supplies soon.
Something that is definitely positive is that there's no significant support for a cease fire or giving the Russians territory. I don't think any one in Europe is thinking that another Minsk is going to cut it, especially since a number of intelligence agencies have shared information that Russia now does intend to see what Article 5 is worth. Giving up on Ukraine means that scenario becomes a real possibility. And if Russia really does actually have the nerve to attack a NATO country, then all bets are off. Because then we'll be entering uncharted territory. And nobody wants to sail into that territory. A defeat for Russia is therefore essential for the survival of Europe.
Here's some encouragement:
The U.S. election in November is only one of about 70 different elections taking place across the globe in 2024. Everyone who hated Trump before still hates him, and now there are many of his supporters who hate Russia more than they like him. Russia's biggest supporter, China, is on the verge of complete economic meltdown - set to be even worse than America's great depression 100 years ago.
Their sacrifices were not in vain; they already changed the course of history. Instead of witnessing an exact repeat of WW2, Ukraine is showing us the version of history where Poland stood fast and stopped the Nazis in their tracks.
Don't panic. EU is ramping up shell production massively, by the second half of this year shell production will be at 1.4 million anually and most of that will go to Ukraine. Recently Czechia has located 800.000 shells that can be purchased and shipped to Ukraine.
@@zaros1781 It appears European Countries in Russia's Striking range are doing what you have stated but, is France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece gearing up their military and Industry? Unfortunately there is little news on what the above countries are preparing for.
I agree Georgies. I am deeply worried & pissed because currently we are having elections in my country. The government is blocked until March due to that. Do you know how many times the war in Ukraine was mentioned? Once! In at least a dozen debates already, Ukraine was mentioned .. once!?!. In a debate between the freacking left block (left-wing populists or neo-communists) and the communist party (which supports russia btw)!! The main parties (not those 2, but those that usually form a government) just mentioned "external difficulties we all know about currently"... We are sleeping and people are totally disconnected. This will be a dark year for Ukraine if we do not act now!
Thank you
It's a promise for ammo but they have to make it first and unfortunately it takes time. As far as tanks etc then I suspect the Allies are running out of old stock and may have to give newer items so these need to be replaced. I also think that they only want to give enough to stop Russia and not beat them. Otherwise more equipment would have been given. Why is this, I suppose these think containment is the best strategy to avoid Russia resorting to using nukes.
Totally correct.
I hope Comrade Johnson is enjoying his vacation while his ally Putin is taking ground because of the republicans betrayal of our allies

Once that US Senate aid package has been tabled for 30 days they only need 218 votes to discharge the bill from committee and then it goes to the house floor for an up or down vote. It will pass with a super majority. But it will be mid march before it can happen.
Yes. That or they will move to vacate the chair with 2-3 crossover Republicans. There are 2 who announced they are quitting so they've got nothing to lose (i.e. they cannot be "primarried"). It will happen in March either way.

I wonder if that article about Schulz's opinion is true. Because Rutte's the big favourite for the job of Stoltenberg and he's one of the leaders most opposed to Russia. Besides, Von der Leyen has never seriously been mentioned as a candidate; others such as Kallas were more seriously considered.

The only thing I will agree with Trump on, Imagine not waiting until Europe gets attacked to start building up production. Imagine 6 years of European production at NATO standards. Wouldn't even need American aid. That would be the topping on the cake. Russia would have had to give up a year ago with American aid.
I try again Thank you for this review Georgi🇺🇦Slava Ukraini🇺🇦
I just watched you on Jake's show. It's great to get a new source (you). Thank you for doing this.🇺🇸🇺🇦
Welcome to the channel
One of the good news is that France is finally following in Germany's (and the UK's) footsteps, we've recently signed a deal to spend 3% of our GDP to boost our military production, along with providing equipment to Ukraine for the next 10 years (or until UA joins Europe, whichever comes first). It's consistent with what we've been saying for quite a while now, France has been preparing for a long war and will keep providing for as long as it can (even if it seems very little compared to some, I appreciate the will to make it last longer... and I hope you will too!). I'd advise you watch the latest meeting between Zelensky and Macron (from the 16th of February 2024, on BFM TV... it's available on CZcams but I'm unsure if there's any translation available), the tone has clearly shifted away from what was said in the early days of the invasion. France basically said they're very much aware what orcs are trying to do in the long run against Europe (turning countries against each other, hoping NATO would die by itself so they could isolate countries and have more influence over them individually), but it will only strengthen our support to Ukraine. I agree we could have had that wake-up call much sooner though... It saddens me to say this but the hybrid war goes way beyond just Ukraine now, to the orcs it was just a tool in their bigger plan, even if it means disrupting the whole world's economy. The threat is starting to be real enough for Europe to finally wake up. Which also mean Ukraine probably has a couple of tough years ahead of her (almost on their own IMHO) until Europe, and maybe the US, have reached a sufficient "velocity" to step up...
I hope this is the true interpretation because we keep having "En même temps " which mean as usual, nothing will change !
Russia is a hybrid and disinformation superpower. The pro=Iran / pro=Hamas information space was incredibly, obviously Russian. The 'Global South" is overwhelmed by Russian disinformation.
I think the reason France's contribution seems small is because they send most of their contributions through the EU rather than individual packages.

Time will tell, although it already feels like some leaders in Europe have taken the threat much more seriously in the last couple of months than in the entire last year. If you want a more accurate preview of what France has planned, the official document ("accord de coopération en matière de sécurité entre la France et l'Ukraine", from February 16th) is available in PDF format directly from the Elysée's website. An online tool should translate it just fine. From what I've read it's a big step in the right direction, far from that negotiation speech Macron used to have a couple years ago.
@@FarsightAE Another thing is that France develops its own military equipment (as opposed to most EU countries, relying on US to provide). It increases the cost for research, maintenance, and also limits the amount that can be produced at once. Our military is known for being versatile, able to respond quickly anywhere in the world, but not on a large scale (which is exactly what we would need right now, it's much more about scale than it is about being adapted to any battlefield). We've also reduced our production capabilities over the years (along with Germany) in times of peace, so it will take time before our production capability is back to normal.
There is a saying, "military strategy is build strategy." Long term Europe can build enough material and ammo to get UKR what they need. Europe can out produce Russia over time.
I have called and emailed not only my representatives but also representatives from states where I have lived. I've emailed Biden over and over and the Sec. Of Defense, Blinkin etc. I am not giving up. I will never give up. Ukraine will win. There is no alternative. Slava Ukraini!
U can’t fight a a war when your feelings are the only weapons u got !!! ~gundam seed Kira Yamato
Just erect a lot of road distance markers pointing Westerly saying something like "1000km to EU" to get more attention.
Well said
It’s interesting how Denmark is open to depleting its entire stock of the artillery shells. I think no other country has went to such extreme length. Everyone else wants to keep a reserve. I hope the numbers are significant, as they are staying quiet about it.
Thanks for helping me vent. It is a fact that authoritarian regimes do not have an opposition stopping them like democracies do and Putin was counting on this. The only way for democracy to win is for everyone to have the same goal instead of being selfish.
War has been going for 2 years, has any country increased production of artillery shells? Or are they all just thinking about it.
They are presumably doing it but veeery slowly, at a snail's pace.
I have read an interview with the owner of a weapon and ammo manufacture company. He said that the manufacture of ammunition of this caliber is done on special machines, that are very expensive and it takes years (I don't remember the exact length, maybe 1-2 years?) to make such a machine.
So when someone decides they want to increase production of shells, they will have to wait years before this special machine is assembled, and only then can they start to produce new shells with it.
We need to make noise about Lithuania giving more military aid than 🇫🇷 🇪🇸🇮🇹(#2-4 EU economies w/a combined GDP 127x bigger). They won’t do anything until shamed into it.
Do you mean in relative or absolute terms?
Wow! I just looked it up in the Kiel report: it's absolute numbers. Estonia is even higher than Lithuania. Both beat France, Spain, Italy. How shameful. Some other EU countries also hide down there in the abyss: Belgium, Portugal, Bulgaria etc.
@@alexanderboll8028 Yeah, Estonia just passed an enormous 1.2b aid package. Relative to GDP, that’s like the US passing a 600b dollar military aid for Ukraine. Anyway, it’s pathetic. Pass the word on via Twitter, YT and anywhere else you post. I know it makes a difference because when France got even a little criticism a month ago they went wild and said “no, we’re doing a lot.” They then did promise a bit more, but it was again a weak package.
@@alexanderboll8028 Bulgaria has done a lot more than it appears because a lot of their aid has been secretive and non-published because Sofia has a strong pro-Russian faction. Also, Russian GRU agents have literally sabotaged many artillery factories and killed owners who were selling to Ukraine. RE: Belgium. Yes, they’re absolutely pathetic. They’re small enough it hardly seems worth the effort of campaigning against them. Maybe we need a hashtag to bring attention to these laggards (e.g., ShamefulAllies).
@@alexanderboll8028 In absolute terms. France’s GDP is 54x bigger than Lithuania’s alone. Estonia, whose GDP is even nearly 50% smaller than Lithuania’s, has given nearly $2b while France…well, $633m. Utterly pathetic.
As an American I am ashamed.
Ditto
Don’t be, we know that the majority of your population do not support the maga cult.
Those of us who watch and who knew the USA well in years gone by also get that you’re hostages to the underhanded perversion of your democracy that the far-right groups have been planning against this day for years.
You have your own fight to be fought against totalitarianism, and your Democratic representatives are doing it well but they need every single person of voting age to be active in support of democracy from now going forward.
It’s a shitshow all round, in your house and in ours, that’s why Putin moved when he did.
We will defeat these buggers, we’ve done it before, all of us together because we have no other choice.
Slava Ukraini!
🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦
Support organisations who helps Ukraine. They needs drones. For example Artur Rehi is now in the US and working on that. He is an estonian. You can find him on CZcams. Then you have americans fighting in Ukraine and organisations helping Ukraine with different things. Your speaker and his gang fucking us all right now..
You americans have to do all you can do now to help Ukraine and the rest of the world and minimise the damage USA do to the world now..
November is far away..
with you
Don’t be, please.
Those of us who knew the USA in days gone by know that the majority are of good reason.
The battle that you’re now fighting against the potential for totalitarianism is real, but provided that you fight the battle well you will win.
You have a wonderful group of Democratic representatives who are beating out the flames one by one. Keep supporting them and be loud about it, they will do their part.
Democracies around the world had become complacent about our historic foe, that’s why Putz acted to take Ukraine when he did.
We’ve come together to triumph against these buggers in times past, we’ll just have to do it again, together as we did before.
I dearly wish that this had all happened when I was either 20 years younger or 20 years older. Younger and I’d have been more able to act and achieve, older and it’d probably have passed me by.
Life is rarely convenient, but it is without doubt exactly what you make of it.
Let’s not waste time on shame, be proud and achieve a little towards the goal every day.
Slava Ukraini!

Feeling you here in the USA, Georgi.....Sharing your anger and motivation
Thanks G force
🙏🇺🇦👏
Totally agree 💯%
Georgie. It's not about stepping up. There's a process.
Support is crazy high for Ukraine in America. Americans are brutalizing the republicans.
Things will break soon.
The Republicans don't seem to care that Americans are brutalizing them. At all. They are enjoying a long vacation (after having had Christmas vacation just a little over a month ago...) How brutal...
No, they are laughing in your face guys. Once they have returned from their vacation, they will give Ukraine all the attention they think it deserves - zero. They will ignore all the Americans who support Ukraine, just like they have done for many month now. And Biden will do nothing, just complain about the behavior of the Republicans and shower Ukraine with empty words of support.
From my point of view, both Republicans and Democrats are at fault regarding the failed support of Ukraine. Republicans more, because they took Ukraine hostage in their border problem. But Democrats too, because they do nothing.
The WEST is like a Husband who knows well that his Wife is bedridden with Cancer but doesn't take it serious not until the cancer gets to Stage 4. Then he rashes her to the medics showing "a lot of care and sympathy ".
ask high rank luftwaffe soldier on a townhallmeeting, i was quit nervous and ask if germany can send eurofighter. Taurus would be even nicer. My question now how we Europa can sum up military help.
Thank you. Sláva Ukrajině!
Well said mate!.🇬🇧🇺🇦🙏
I've been feeling like that since Mike Johnson was "elected" to be speaker of house of representatives. It was so obvious what russia was doing... (Johnson, Orban, Fico... even the f###ng Elon Musk...). I commented before that due the inaction of the allies to fix those problems, the only things we can do now are seeing painfully how Ukraine losses territory and learning from our mistake.
I find the dooming over avdiivka weird, it remind me a bit of the bakhmut dooming where people claimed the frontline would collapse
A hashtag autofilled on my text, #MoscowMikeJohnson Maybe this trends in USA.
I feel your Pain!
MAGA may change his name in a more rélistic one MAWA or even KGB.

Don't be ridiculous.!
great video
Lifelong Republican, 2x Trump voter here.
I'll be voting out the Putin lovers in the party this time around. And I suspect I'm not alone.
A Republican with integrity, it's rare and refreshing, thank you 🫡
Not before time
Good to hear and I am sure MAGA knows this. So my question is, what would you do if Trump in Sep-Oct started to say he would offer aid to Ukraine (as a loan), in a cynical gesture to not lose your vote. Would you believe him? Because I suspect he will try this move to get you back.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart from Austria! I hope, there are still many Republicans with integrity in the U.S. who think and act like you. I will in our elections this year (EU and federal) only vote for pro-Ukraine, pro-EU, pro-cooperation candidates and will warn everybody about those, who only want to divide us.
