Story
I'm transporting aid from our London donation banks to and around Ukraine. There are more donations in the UK than there's transport available for them!
The total sum being raised goes towards vehicle, travel, maintenance & operating costs: I'm working full time, on location, to deliver the aid across all terrains, and am expanding to cities such as Kyiv and Mykolaiv.
I'm now raising £1k for a sturdy, reliable 4x4 for this specific purpose.
Many usual drivers are currently fighting & there is a deficit of logistical manpower. Those that have no means to evacuate are impacted most. They're also the ones most at risk: due to factors including age, health & mobility issues.

My name is Andrey Kushchinsky. In peacetime I'm an opera singer & filmmaker living in London. Born in Kyiv, raised in Poltava, settled in the UK. There are shortages of virtually everything: medications, food, fuel and hygiene products to name a few. These are seen nationwide, as airstrikes target every major city.
I'm also assisting the MOD with the export of 4x4 pickups, which are used to transport the wounded. I coordinate volunteer drivers to deliver them to Ukraine, loaded with aid from various London donation banks.
Fuel, tolls & tickets cost around £600 per one-way trip! Each return distance averaging 3k miles. Volunteers from various countries have joined me. We've called ourselves United Europa. If you'd like to get involved in our mission, we'd love to hear from you. Please consider donating!

2 years agoIt's been quite an Easter. Our boys broke down in the middle of Germany, on Easter Sunday, at 1 in the morning. We spent the last 14 hours finding emergency train, hotel, flights, and auto recovery after the engine began smoking, spitting fluids and died. No matter. We keep fighting. More 4x4s heading Ukraine's way by the week's end.
