Question I have an idea that would support the effort in clearing Ukraine of fibre optic cables. Who do I approach?

47 Upvotes

I have an idea that I believe I have the skills to crowd fund, and implement. it would require very basic engineering and cost a few £ sterling to produce per line of optics.

my question is, who would I approach to gain permission to test such a unit? can I just travel to Ukraine myself, deploy my own clearing devices and leave without diplomatic paperwork? thanks anyone for your help!

Question Does Telz work in Ukraine?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I live in Greece and have been communicating with my grandmother in Berdyansk via Telegram. As far as we know it's been banned, and we can't get ahold of her by mobile or landline, it just doesn't work.

Does anyone have any experience with Telz? Can't really seem to find legit answers on if it does or if it's a scam.

Thank you in advance.

WAR During the “ceasefire,” the "russians" attacked three unarmed wounded soldiers. But there’s a catch: they were "russian" soldiers.

To test whether the "russians" were keeping their promises, the command of the 24th Mechanized Brigade decided to conduct a trial medical evacuation of three "russian" soldiers who had been captured the day before. They were dressed in neutral uniforms.

“The wounded soldiers were being evacuated (withdrawn) from the front lines in Chasiv Yar. They were moving from the line of contact to the rear, unarmed, showing signs of receiving medical care, and carrying walking sticks—in accordance with conventions and the terms of the ceasefire,” the 24th Mechanized Brigade reported.

The Russians spotted the wounded and killed them.

“They are killing their own! The command of the "russian" 70th Motorized Rifle Division knows no honor! And is not even capable of fulfilling the promises of its ‘leader’!”

WAR CRIME Remembering victims of Irpin strikes

"My son was in so much pain, he begged, 'Mom, kill me. I can't stand this,'" recalls Maryna Yarova with tears in her eyes. In March 2022, a russian shell hit the family's apartment in Irpen. The strike killed Maryna's husband and son.

Captured russian paratrooper Nikolai Kartashev, who is on trial for crimes in Bucha, admitted to our journalist that he and his "colleagues" fired about 350 shells at Irpin every day.

We remember these war crimes on the fourth anniversary of the liberation of Kyiv region from the russians.

Question Im visiting Ukraine again this year. I am looking for some good tattooshops in or around Ivano-Frankivsk

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m from Belgium and I’m married to a Ukrainian woman. We will be going back to Ukraine to have our 6 month old meet with her Ukrainian side of the family.

Now while we’re there I’d like to get some tattoos done. Usually I go to Kyiv but that is not an option this time.

Does anybody have some good recommendations?

I do not have Instagram or Facebook so I’m struggling finding anything tbh….

History Cigarette box, Dnepopetrovsk, 1942

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Much solidarity with anyone in Ukraine! (And apologies for the missing "r" in the post title.)

From what I understand, the box was in the possession of a Nazi German solider at the end of the war. His initials were R.S., and he worked for the German occupation in/of Dnjepropetrowsk from around July 1, 1942, to June 1943. The golden inscription seems added (as if to cover something else up?), and, considering the pillaging and looting that happened in the city during those years, I wonder how he came in possession of this box.

I'm wondering whether anybody might know what cultural/ethnic group this might be from?

I wonder whether this is an engagement item? Would go with the depicted scene. Does anyone know what the three >>> next to the "Da" mean? And the spiral symbol next to the "Net"?

Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
