Do you want to know more about Ukraine and its traditions? Read this very interesting letter and learn more about it. Because Ukraine is more than war. And if you like this, consider becoming a supporter of @strategywoman.bsky.social. She lets us discover so many interesting things!
There’s an old Ukrainian folk tradition –
the ritual of leading the goat during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

My new Sunday Letter tells about it, along with a few of my reflections on the things I share.

Peace in Ukraine comes from stopping those who bomb civilians & erase borders. Let's get this fundraiser done before Christmas.
🎄 I put up a Xmas tree yesterday: lights, baubles… but no illusions.

Peace doesn’t come from wishes or carols. It comes from stopping those who bomb civilians & erase borders.

If you want your Christmas to mean something this year, help Ukraine keep fighting.

Next truck 🔗👇

Does Ukraine need lies, arrogance and violence? I don't think so.
Help Ukraine in its fight for just peace.
Only one third to go for a new truck. Every donation counts.
📰 Reading the news this morning, and here we go again: lies, arrogance, violence.

And I’m thinking: no, we don’t get to go numb. Solidarity is the answer. Solidarity is how we stay human.

Every gesture counts: help us fund a 🛻 for the defenders 🔗👇

🎯 €14,000/€20,500

What is on your Christmas list for Ukraine?
One thing you can help with is to get them a truck.
The right to exist as a free nation is one of the most fundamental political concepts.

If 🇺🇦 falls, sovereignty becomes negotiable everywhere.

That’s why we’re partnering up with @69thsb.bsky.social to provide a #NAFO 🛻 to the mortar battery of 153rd.

Help Ukraine in its fight for freedom!
💥 You see the wreckage behind the word FREEDOM?

That’s what the aggressor tried to bring to Kyiv. And what Ukraine answered with was courage & resolve.

They’re still holding that line today. Let's show Ukraine we understand what's at stake.

You can do something to defend freedom, dignity and rule of law. Let's work together to get another truck to the front. Ukraine is not only fighting for itself, but also for European values.
🇪🇺 This is my flag.
A symbol of freedom, dignity, rule of law.

Driving into Kyiv with it on my dashboard feels right.
Ukraine is defending the very values that Europe was built on.

If unity means anything, it means action!
Let's get a truck for the defenders of the 153rd 👇🏻

Lives matter. Your donation matters. Fund a truck for the Ukrainian army.
🚧 This wreck saved a life. I’m so grateful it did.

Frontline units lose vehicles faster than we can replace them.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your donation matters... it does! It’s the difference between coming home or not.

Let’s fund the next one.

Let's help Ukraine in its fight for peace and freedom.
🛣️ From where I live, if I drive...

1,500 km south = sun & beaches.
1,500 km east = missiles & blackout.

Same continent. Same century. Two realities.

Ukraine defends the peace we take for granted.
Let’s act like neighbours and stand with them.

🙏 Help us fund next truck 👇🏻

In this letter @strategywoman.bsky.social shows us wonderful sculptures of the artist that created the figure on the Independence monument in Kyiv. If you like art, it is really worthwhile to read this free letter. If you would like to get to know even more about Ukraine, become a supporter.
In the center stands Berehynia –
the same figure that crowns the Independence Monument in Kyiv.

In my latest Sunday Letter (free to read), I shared what she represents,
the sculptor behind her, and more remarkable Ukrainian sculptures – especially War

Support the Ukrainian army by funding a truck.
🫂 On International Volunteer Day, a thought for Ukraine’s volunteers!

If you can, donate to a 🇺🇦 charity or volunteer group you trust. 🙏

Or better yet: support the @69thsb.bsky.social. They deliver much-needed drones and trucks like this ⬇️ to the frontline fast.

Help the Ukrainian soldiers who stop missiles intended to destroy homes, schools and markets.
📸 One photo says more than all the 'peace plans' combined.

This sticker sits on a destroyed 🇷🇺 missile fired at a 🇪🇺 capital in 2025.

Yes, the kind that targets homes, schools, markets.

That’s the reality 🇺🇦 lives with every day.

If you want to help, help the ones who stop these missiles.

Ukraine is not for sale. Help it in its fight for freedom and democracy.
🏷️ I visited the 🇺🇦 Pavilion from the World Expo: familiar objects painted blue and yellow.

They showcase democratic values like freedom, dignity, humanity. They have no price tags, because they are non-negotiable.

Let's support the Ukrainian spirit and the defenders behind it.
☕️ Only in Ukraine can you walk into a bar, order a cappuccino, and find Marge Simpson painted on an anti-tank tube chilling in the plants.

If that’s not resilience, I don’t know what is.

Let’s support that spirit, and the defenders behind it.

Such an interesting letter on some old Ukrainian traditions! Read more about the youth gatherings and other habits. And if you like it, become a supporter of Yaroslava.
Ukraine is more than the war –
I repeat it so often.

I’m grateful to everyone who wants to learn more about my dear country.

Let's act and stand with the defenders.
📰 Reading the latest news is infuriating.

A “peace plan” rewarding the aggressor.
And 🇪🇺, my own 🇧🇪 included, still sitting on frozen assets that could save 🇺🇦 lives now.

Real peace is built by those who act, not those who look away.

Let’s stand with the defenders 🛻👇🏻

Let's support Ukraine in its fight for freedom! Fund a truck.
🦃 What am I grateful for?

That as a European I live with freedoms others fought for before me. That I grew up in a continent where borders stopped changing at gunpoint. 🇪🇺

That privilege bears a responsibility: to support Ukraine’s fight for the same freedom. 🇺🇦

Let's put another 🛻 on the road 👇🏻

Be a donor too. Your help matters.
🌟 Wonder if these trucks actually make a difference?

Here’s a defender’s take: “It matters. It’s life-saving. These trucks bear our burden. We’re thankful for them daily - and by proxy thankful to every donor behind them.”

Impact doesn’t get clearer than that.

Let the Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers feel they're not alone.
🛡️ Ukrainian soldiers & volunteers are doing what our democracies have largely forgotten: defending freedom and democracy at personal cost.

Our support, however small, shows them they’re not alone!

Your contribution can put the next #NAFO truck on the road thx to @69thsb.bsky.social 🛻👇🏻

🆘 We still have time to save Kherson, the city in Ukraine, which is being bombarded and attacked by drones daily.

Today, the theater was shelled; many historic buildings destroyed this week.

Our film can raise global awareness.

During the 'peace' talks, war keeps going. Let's fund another truck to help Ukraine stop the attacks.
💥 The aggressor doesn’t want peace in Ukraine; it wants Ukraine in pieces.

That’s the truth citizens face under drones and missiles.

Yet some now push a “peace plan” that rewards the one doing the killing.

Ukraine won’t accept that. Neither should we.

A letter full of painful but touching portraits. Do you dare to look at the truth?
You can read. Or scroll past.
You can stay. Or unfollow.
You can look into the eyes of truth. Or turn away.
