The important things do not change with the times. Whether it’s the stories from the times we ourselves faced war and totalitarianism or the ones happening right now just a few hundred kilometres away from us, they are connected by the longing for freedom, safety, and one’s home. Our own experience with war and totalitarianism in the 20th century makes us obligated to help others.
In 2019, the non-profit organisation Post Bellum set up an office in Lviv with the goal of filming the witness accounts for the Paměť národa archive. Our colleagues in Ukraine recorded dozens of stories mostly from survivors of Stalinist repressions, dissidents, and political prisoners. After the outbreak of the war, they asked for our help. We could not decline. Thanks to your support, we have supplied the defenders of Ukraine with thousands of bulletproof vests and helmets, tonnes of medical equipment and optical devices as well as fully equipped ambulances and fire trucks. Dozens of human lives have verifiably been saved thanks to this. All the aid provided has been non-lethal in nature.
All materials needed have been consulted with experts from the Army of the Czech Republic. The recipients of our aid are predominantly frontline fighters, members of special forces units. The assistance is implemented through the Embassy of Ukraine in the Czech Republic. Representatives of the Czech Embassy in Kyiv then oversee the correct use and distribution of the material to those in need.
In cooperation with the Donio portal and, above all, six thousand generous donors, we managed to collect funds for equipment of two field hospitals that play a vital role in saving the lives of wounded soldiers. We have been delivering the material on an ongoing basis and the vast majority are already serving in hospitals. The remaining material will be delivered by the end of the year.
On the evening of August 20, 2024, together with the NGO´s mentioned above, we organized a commemorative event called "Go home, Ivan" in Boris Němcov's park. We remembered the time when we, Czechia, faced Soviet aggression too.

Postoj Německa je pro mě šokující.
Ukrajino, drž se!
Je mi smutno že umíráte za nás, zatímco tady se jen tlachá..
Stay strong Ukraine! Wish we could do more…
Držím palce a stojím při všech, kdo se na Ukrajině brání nepochybné, bezohledné a nestoudné ruské agresi. Tahle sbírka se mi zdá dobrá, protože nejen pomáhá ohroženým, ale také alespoň trochu posiluje obranu.
Stop all Russian invaders.

POZOR. Co děláte, je skvělé. Posílám další peníze. Ale v minulých případech mi za chvíli e-mailem přišly platební údaje pro platbu bankovním převodem. Dnes nedorazily, tak podruhé si to zkopíruji přímo odtud. Do e-mailu to znova nepřišlo. Jestli tam není nějaký technický problém. Aby to lidi neodrazovalo. HK
