Today, we celebrate the incredible military medics and every healthcare professional standing beside Ukraine’s defenders.

Thank you for the lives you save, the strength you give, and the hope you bring, even in the darkest moments. Your courage, compassion, and dedication make a difference every single day.

Today, we’re proud to deliver 20 anti-drone systems to the Kharkiv Regional Center for Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine, helping protect the medics and evacuation teams who risk their lives to save others.

Happy Medical Workers’ Day! 💙💛

On the night of June 15, Russia launched one of its largest attacks on Kyiv. People were killed and dozens were injured, including children and a pregnant woman. Dozens of homes, museums and landmarks were damaged.

Unfortunately, during the attack the Dormition Cathedral Of Kyiv Lavra was burned and damaged. The monastery’s main church, built in 1073–1078. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Ukraine’s treasures and part of Europe’s shared cultural heritage.

It survived the earthquake of 1230,
the Mongol invasion of 1240,
the fire of 1718,
and near-total destruction during World War II,
it has stood for centuries.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a nearly thousand-year-old sacred site and one of the centers of European history.

Ukraine’s history is European history. It deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Stay with Ukraine and support it.

On May 17, White Stork together with volunteers at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, assembled 3,000 IFAKs for Ukrainian defenders.

This is our second time assembling IFAKs in NaUKMA. Volunteers, students, friends, came all together and turned one Saturday into real, practical support for the front line.

Right after the assembly, the kits were handed over directly to the military, including the Khartia Brigade

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this happen. Support matters. There is no front without a strong rear💙💛

May 15 is a Day of Mourning in Kyiv.

Following a russian strike on a residential building in the Darnytskyi district, 24 people were killed, including three children. More than 40 people were injured.

Rescue workers, medics, and psychologists from the State Emergency Service and National Police worked at the site of the tragedy. Hundreds of people needed support after losing loved ones, homes, and their sense of safety. So far, psychological assistance has been provided to 440 people.

Today, we stand with Kyiv in mourning. Our deepest condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones.

🙏🏼

She has seen war from a distance where most people would not handle a minute.

Yuliya “Cuba” is the head of the medical unit of the Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 39th Marine Brigade. A woman who has spent years pulling people back from the edge of death.

Her story didn’t start in 2022. Yuliya has been on the frontlines since 2014. Since the beginning of ruzzia’s full-scale invasion, she has evacuated hundreds of wounded soldiers - often under fire, in conditions where every second decides whether someone lives or dies.

🎬 Her story became widely known through the documentary “Cuba & Alaska” - a film about two Ukrainian female paramedics working on the frontlines. It shows the brutality of war, and also the quiet, human side of it: exhaustion, dark humor, friendship, and the emotional weight they carry every day. The film gained international recognition for its raw honesty, and one striking fact - many scenes were filmed during real evacuations, without staging, capturing moments where life and death decisions were happening in real time.

Today, her work getting more and more dangerous than ever, because modern war is no longer just about bullets and artillery. It’s about drones. Constant surveillance. Instant strikes. As Yuliya says:

“Now it’s very hard to evacuate the wounded in time. Especially the critically injured. Drones are always above you - and they see everything. Evacuation vehicles become targets.”©️

🛡️That’s why jamming systems are life-saving tools. These systems create an invisible shield that disrupt enemy drones and give medics a window of time to reach the wounded and get out alive.

Last week White Stork supported Yuliya’s unit by providing the most tech-advanced jamming system - giving her team a real chance to save more lives under fire💔

Ukraine is still fighting every night and every day.
Stand with Ukraine, donate, share and speak up.

Because behind every donation, there is someone like Yuliya waiting for your support 💛💙

American actor Sean Penn won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a devoted military figure in director Paul Thomas Anderson's film One Battle After Another.

However, he was not present at the ceremony. Instead, he traveled to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Penn has been a consistent supporter of Ukraine, calling its fight essential for the protection of democratic values.

During one of his previous visits, he even left his Oscar statuette in Ukraine as a symbol of faith in the country’s victory.

Thank you, Sean, for standing with Ukraine. 🙏🇺🇦

It is January. Temperature drops to –20°C (–4°F).

Over the past month, Russia has deliberately attacked power plants and heating infrastructure across Ukraine, especially in Kyiv.

Thousands of homes are without electricity and heat.
Families are freezing in their own apartments.
Hospitals rely on generators.

Not everyone understands the scale of r*ssian aggression. Winter blackouts in Ukraine are a weapon against civilians.

Cutting heat and electricity in freezing temperatures is designed to break people, make cities unlivable. This is exactly what targeting energy systems in winter does.

Your support right now is life-saving.
Help Ukraine to stay strong this winter.
