@eenvandaag.nl over Nederlanders in Oekraïne naar aanleiding van onze open brief. Collega's Kees, Guido, en Remco Geerdink in Lviv lieten weten hoe zij de oorlog en de voortdurende raket- en droneaanvallen beleven. Ze hebben vaak maar 6-8 uur stroom, en het water en internet vallen langdurig uit.

Kees spoke about his life as a farmer in Ukraine during the war: employees who are mobilized to the front, infrastructure damaged by ru attacks, and the daily challenges of keeping his farm running. Despite everything, he continues tirelessly, for his country, his community, and Ukraine’s defenders.

This week, Kees gave a well-attended lecture at the community hall in Glimmen, organized by the Diaconie PKN Noordlaren-Glimmen and Stichting Oud Papier Haren.
💙 Thanks to everyone who joined, more than €14,000 was raised for our support efforts in Ukraine!

Heavy russian attacks on Ukraine again last night. Mainly the western part of the country was targeted, but even in Kyiv the air alert was on during the whole night. As always, residential flats and energy infrastructure were hit 🤬 #RussiaIsATerroristState

De Leeuw Kyiv heeft hen eerder dit jaar ondersteund met een sterke Landrover, zodat zij hun transporten sneller konden uitvoeren. In een van de reacties zie je de bedankvideo van 'Karst'.
Blijf ons steunen, zodat wij meer militairen kunnen helpen met auto's, generatoren en beschermende netten.

💙💛 A remarkable story: an adapted vehicle.

We purchased and delivered an adapted bus to a Ukrainian soldier who lost both of his legs in combat. The vehicle has been modified so that the accelerator and brake are operated by hand controls, allowing him to continue driving independently.

Finally, Kees shares poignant footage of the village square, where fallen soldiers are honored with photos and flags. 💙 💛

Kees also speaks with PrimeMinister Dick Schoof,who was in Kyiv and also met with Dutch citizens living in Ukraine.“If you haven’t experienced a war,you don’t know what it’s like,” says Kees.Schoof:“russian aggression will not stop. We must continue to support Ukraine and keep pressure on russia.”

🚜 In his latest vlog for the agricultural platform Nieuwe Oogst, our colleague Kees Huizinga once again shows what it’s like to be a farmer in Ukraine, in times of war.

As often happens, Dutch farmers also visited this week to deliver a car that we later handed over to the Ukrainian army.

Some time ago we acquired a fully equipped ambulance in Belgium. It has now been delivered to Ukraine and officially handed over to the 92nd Airmobile Brigade.
This vehicle will help evacuate more wounded quickly and provide life-saving medical care.
October 26, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Once in Ukraine, the cars will undergo necessary repairs and then head straight to the front, fully loaded with humanitarian aid and essential supplies.

Every vehicle means more lives saved and more help delivered where it’s needed most. 💙💛

⚡💡 Massive russian strikes on power facilities have left much of Kyiv without electricity tonight. Yet the city endures. #StandWithUkraine

Exactly 2 years ago today:
Friends of our Ukrainian partners transformed an old #Lada into a buggy for the military and sent us some photos. I couldn't help but adding #TheAteam music and create this video😃.

The Ukrainian are better at this (sound on) 😎

🚙 So far, we have delivered over 440 vehicles to various units.
Each vehicle saves lives: enabling the quick evacuation of the wounded and ensuring that supplies and equipment reach the frontline safely.
💙💛 Thanks to your continued support, we can keep doing this vital work.

We bring aid right up to the frontline, where it saves lives and gives vital moral support.The soldiers fight for their buddies,for the freedom of their country, and for a safe home. Don't forget: before the war they were programmers, accountants,metal workers,farmers, civilians like you and me.
