🚙 Help despite exhaustion: essential supplies delivered to our Defenders, – Hanna Bezverkha

I am often asked, “Why do you post reports almost a week after a raid?” — because I post them right before the “almost next one”! Is that answer good enough for you? And also because for about three days after a “raid,” the only words left in my vocabulary have a “matte coating,” and I keep almost all of them in my head! Those who know me well can imagine how hard that is for me. I left only one word — “kurva” — but I don’t even want to use that anymore!

We are paying too high a price now for me to keep falling to my knees before everyone — enough! I no longer want to hear stupid questions like “When will this all end?” or “How long will this last?”… Stories about previous authorities and not a word about what the current “expired” one has been doing for the eighth year! I don’t want any of it anymore because everyone — absolutely everyone who asks but does nothing — drew no conclusions and didn’t even attempt any analysis, not even when 40 billion UAH was taken away from the Armed Forces without explaining how those needs, which never become smaller, were supposed to be covered! I don’t want to hear complaints from those who have never helped anyone but expect unconditional help from everyone — it no longer affects me! What affects me are only the requests and needs of our Defenders and their families! My own loved ones are also at the “zero line,” and perhaps we have lost more than some other families, but no loss can ever be smaller than another because every life is a separate and most precious universe!

Every “raid” is different and not every one can be talked about… This one was with my sister-in-arms Olenochka. She knows what it means to wait for news from her husband at the front… now there is no one left to wait for — every Saturday or Sunday she goes to him, to the place where flags stretch across hectares… I am sincerely grateful to her for her support in difficult moments… I have sisters-in-arms who, after losing their husbands, continue helping our Defenders without discussing anyone’s political sympathies, because there is a front there… and once I delivered aid to their loved ones who have now become Heavenly Angels…

Now briefly about the “raid” — we delivered everything we managed to collect and unloaded at two locations… we traveled under armed escort because in some places there was a drone threat, and on certain sections of the road the distance to the “Muscovite bastards” was less than 4–5 km… something like that… The car broke down again — the week before last it cost 17,000 UAH, last week I barely made it home — support struts plus another 10,600 UAH… that’s how it is!

Huge gratitude to those who are always nearby — the “Vodohrai” team and the women of Horodne village, the team of Krasnokutsk Preschool No. 2 and the Koziivka Starosta District, Tania Krasna, Sasha Storozhenko, and Volodia Horobets!

Our Defenders sincerely thank everyone, but it hurts so much to answer their questions with “we can’t right now,” “we didn’t collect enough,” “people are tired”… and I’m afraid to tell them that I’m also holding on by a thread, taking medication through IV treatment, and in a little over a month I’ll turn 60… I’m afraid I won’t have enough strength, and there’s still no end in sight! I no longer judge anyone because I don’t want to waste my strength on it — we hold on together with those who stay by our side, and I sincerely thank them for that!!!

If you have the goodwill — donate, our Falcons will be grateful to all of you!
