I’ve been evacuating civilians from the frontlines in Ukraine for over a year now, working in the most dangerous places across the Donbas - Soledar, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar. During this time, working with a number of incredible people, I’ve evacuated over 3000 civilians. For the past six months, I’ve been working with my own team - made up of Yaro, Oleg, Michael & Artem Charles @charlesvillaa joined our crew for two weeks back in March and shot a two part documentary, the first part of which you can now watch on his YouTube channel. It was an honour to have him - he went everywhere with us, taking exactly the same risks, so as to do justice to the story of the people of Ukraine, who have to face the barbaric Russian invasion and fight for the liberty of the world while it watches on. Whatever the future brings, I was privileged to have helped save so many people, from little babies to elderly grandmas. Thank you to all those who supported me and made this possible. Slava Ukraini ! – at Ukraine

Another day of constant air raid alerts in Kyiv. At least one person killed, as Russia continues to terrorise the Ukrainian capital with drone after drone in attempt to grind civilian life to a standstill.

Cheka. An inspiration and a real powerhouse of a woman. One of those who always comes back alive, despite the odds. Until she didn’t. She will be missed.

Well, since all the cool kids are doing it 😁 Happy Vyshyvanka Day! Has to be one my favourite Ukrainian holidays, an ode to history and tradition with as much a contemporary twist as you fancy.

Hi friends, unfortunately I’ve suffered a rather bad injury in the line of duty - broke my shoulder and ruptured my labrum. Months of physical rehabilitation ahead 🤦🏻‍♂️ to help cover costs I’m selling one of my works. Please see below tweet for info 🙏🏻

Chernobyl, Ukraine, 2021. I shot this 6 months prior to the big war that would change so many lives, but I didn’t care for it much back then. Today it’s one of my favourites - times change and we change with them… Limited edition 20 prints, 150$, 50х37,5 cm. Worldwide shipping.

Yesterday marked Ukrainian Volunteer Day . It is a great honour to have been a part of the incredible @HospitallersU volunteer medical bataillon - my utmost respect to all those who put their civilian lives on pause in the name of the fight for freedom and justice 🫡

Avdiivka. Evacuation. A quick evacuation run from about a month ago - we evacuated Lyudmila, whose husband had been badly wounded right in front of her, and at the time was in hospital in critical condition. Why hadn’t she left earlier?.. Perhaps, it’s best I let Lyudmila herself answer that. In truth, I wanted to write not about her, but about the real TITANS who are holding the line in poor Avdiivka! These are the guys from 110, 47, 53 and 59 brigade and I implore you - yes, you, the one reading these lines - to support them in word and by deed. Donate to their fundraisers, share their videos on social networks, write to them that you love them and are proud of them! Their situation is extremely difficult, and helping the guys do their job by sharing our care and support for them is the very least we can do 🙏🏻 #avdiivka #evacuation #warinukraine

Got a message today from a chap we evacuated back in March - he’s now serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Not the first case I’ve had like that either. Just goes to show that far from everyone who stays till the very last is a separatist 🇺🇦

Top work @EL4UKR_Harley ! Harley’s a great guy who has helped me get supplies and vehicles across to Ukraine countless times - go give him a follow to stay up to date with the incredible demining work he does in Ukraine !
Instead of a thousand words. British volunteer Harley Whitehead and part of the mines that he helped clear off Ukrainian land. Thank you, Sir! 📷: Harley Whitehead @EL4UKR_Harley

Asya Nikitishna called to say hi yesterday. I even shed a tear from all the nice word she said 🥹 She’s doing well and playing with her great grandson. Her evacuation story is up on my channel in case you haven’t seen it yt.openinapp.co/60ck5

Hi all, I’m currently fundraising to buy a Quad Bike and a trailer to go with it for the @93_OMBr . The boys need this for the evacuation of the wounded as cars simply can’t make it through due to drones and artillery attacks. Please donate via the link in comments or my PayPal : [email protected]

How our mornings sound in Ukraine.. Hope they manage to save the young soldier’s arm - we did what we could, now it’s down to the surgeons.
