Very honoured to have spent time with the courageous volunteers from @antytila_offic charity fund as they delivered supplies around Ukraine’s Donetsk region. So much tireless work and meticulous planning goes into these trips - amazing to get such an insight into their work.

In 1918 a group of young Ukrainian students fought off an offensive by Russian Bolsheviks at the battle of Kruty - today Ukraine remembers that fight - here’s a mural commemorating it near Palats Ukraina metro in Kyiv.
