Another post on the 200 fire extinguishers that were delivered in Kherson. Much needed with all the strikes that this city has to suffer! Thanks to our partners who made this possible!

Today we handed over another bus, this time to an air defense unit. 🚐⚡ With this vehicle, they can transport supplies & troops faster. As a thank-you, we received a special trophy: a Gerbera drone they shot down just a few days ago over the Cherkasy region. 💙💛 #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

🎙️ Voor Bureau Buitenland (vanaf 13:25) maakte Michiel Driebergen een indrukwekkende reportage vanuit Druzhkivka. Hij bezocht een markt die kort daarvoor door een Russische aanval was getroffen, met slachtoffers en enorme schade tot gevolg. www.nporadio1.nl/uitzendingen...

Partners Charity Fund Kischentsi have delivered a quad bike to a Ukrainian army unit. ⚡ Delivering supplies quickly 🩺 Evacuating the wounded 🌲 Reaching terrain where regular vehicles get stuck 📽️Watch the video of the delivery and the soldiers’ thank-you message! #SupportUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Our good friend Ton is driving another minivan 🚐 full of aid goods to Ukraine where it will be delivered at Kees' farm. From there it will be distributed to an army unit at the front line.

🚛✨ Record week for De Leeuw Kyiv! Last week we delivered 30 trucks filled with anti-drone nets to Ukraine. Together with our partner organistions, we are sending as many tulip-bulb and fishing nets as possible to the frontline. youtu.be/ufGZfVhtPSo

🔥🚒 A shipment of 200 fire extinguishers donated from NL has safely arrived in Kherson. In a city so often hit by attacks on civilian targets, these tools are vital, and will be put to immediate, life-saving use. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who made this possible! #SupportUkraine #SlavaUkraini

We received wonderful thank-you videos from 2 Ukrainian hospitals in Odesa region! They received a whole set of rehabilitation chairs, generously donated from Belgium, and one reliable car, donated by Dutch visitors of Kees. 💙💛 A huge thank you to everyone involved! #SupportUkraine #SlavaUkraini

🚐 Many of the cars we deliver to Ukraine are used right at the frontline, to move equipment, troops, and wounded. Sadly, they often get damaged or destroyed. Here’s a video near Pokrovsk, showing the minivan we brought over just 2 months ago. We can only hope no lives were lost in this attack. 💙💛

Afgelopen nacht was er weer een enorme aanval van rusland op #Kyiv en andere plekken in Oekraïne. Shaheds, kruis- en ballistische raketten werden ingezet. Onze vriend Leo zag de schade bij hem in de buurt tijdens zijn ochtendwandeling. 😯👇

UA marks 34 years of independence, the 4th during russia’s full-scale war. Despite brutal attacks, Ukrainians stand firm. De Leeuw Kyiv delivers: 4,500t of anti-drone nets, 410 vehicles, 2250 generators & many more aid goods. Your support saves lives 🙏. Full story: shorturl.at/VuLKD SLAVA UKRAINI!

Today is Day of the National Flag 🇺🇦 in Ukraine. The flag that stands for the whole country, including Crimea and the Donbas region. For democratic values of freedom and determination! Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

We are De Leeuw Kyiv ✊. We are NL citizens who have been living in UA for many years, and today, we stand with UA more than ever before. There are millions of us. We wish strength and courage to the UA people. Never should the aggressor be rewarded for its brutal war and invasion. Slava Ukraini!

🎥 Earlier this summer, we received touching videos from soldiers at the front. They asked for more nets, because tunnels over supply routes could not be completed due to shortages. The footage showed how many vehicles had already been hit and burned out there, tragically with casualties as well.

Nederlandse 🌷 bloembollennetten redden levens in Oekraïne:

More Net Protection against Fiber Drones❤️‍🔥 Nets donated by several Dutch🇳🇱 organizations were delivered to critical places near the frontlines💪 We helped with coordinating delivery! Thanks goes to: @deleeuwkyiv.bsky.social EyesOnUkraine.eu heavensshield.com lifeguardians.eu

Dankjewel voor deze oproep!

Net de podcastserie'Het geluid van de oorlog'van @lc.nl en @dvhn.nl beluisterd.Patrick van't Haar en Martine van der Steege gingen naar UAom hulpgoederen te brengen en verhalen van soldaten,hulpverleners en getroffen burgers te vertellen.Bedankt voor jullie steun! 💙💛 open.spotify.com/show/3ojKE7F...

From Dutch tulip fields to Ukraine’s front lines 🌷➡️🪖 Earlier this month, the German ARD Tagesschau reported on our anti-drone net project. They interviewed Otto of Heaven's Shield, one of our partners in the project. (1/5) www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

It seems that I missed this report - it was already published last month from @vrtnws.be journalist @arnauddedecker.bsky.social.It shows how the road near the front is being covered by the nets which we provided from NL.These nets save numerous lives of courageous defenders! vrtnws.be/p.YbBqJwo7X

Kees heeft weer een mooie aflevering van zijn vlog gemaakt, waarin hij vertelt over de vorderingen van de nieuwe koeienstal en de nieuwe manier van combinen. Maar ook vertelt hij over de 100e transport met hulpgoederen van Ger Jan Wielink dat bij hem is aangekomen. youtu.be/CMp3ub-a_os?...

🚚📺 We purchased and delivered 65 large touchscreens to Ukraine! Now used by 🇺🇦 emergency services to track incoming shahed drones via radar — enabling faster, more accurate responses to Russian air attacks. Every second counts. 🙏 Thanks to all who made this possible!

Dutch @rtl.nl Nieuws now also reports about the low tech nets that protect Ukrainian roads and positions from russian fiber optic lined drones. Unfortunately they didn't mention our organisation even though many of the footage look like the nets we transported from NL. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/buite...

Earlier this month, the Agroberichten platform of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature published an article about how nets from the flower and fishing industries are being used as protection against Russian drone attacks in Ukraine. shorturl.at/Ms0nM

Great to find our nets posted here as well.

Wat is er nou precies aan de hand in Oekraïne met de beperkingen van anti-corruptiediensten? Een goede duiding. 👇

More and more videos are popping up with roads in Ukraine covered by the nets that we transported from NL. You can see that several drones already got tangled in these nets, which would have otherwise hit a vehicle and injured or killed Ukrainians. Real life savers! #SupportUkraine #SlavaUkraini

An long read on the anti-drone nets that protect UA positions,soldiers and even complete roads from ru drones. Unfortunately @deleeuwkyiv.bsky.social wasn't mentioned,while the nets look exactly like the flower bulb nets (not fishing nets) that we transport to UA www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/w...

Dutch enterprises continue to do business in russia 🤮 (in Dutch).

💥 Nog steeds zakendoen met Rusland? Echt?! Elf jaar geleden werd vlucht #MH17 neergeschoten, waarbij 193 Nederlanders omkwamen. Met overduidelijk bewijs is rusland hiervoor zowel door de Nederlandse rechtbank als door het Europees Hof voor de Rechten van de Mens veroordeeld. (1/10)

🕸️ Nederlandse netten vangen drones — en redden levens in Oekraïne @trouw.nl schreef over ons anti-dronenettenproject. Samen met partner Otto Jelsma werkt De Leeuw Kyiv al geruime tijd aan het verzamelen en vervoeren van netten naar Oekraïne. (link naar artikel in de reacties)

🎶 Today, exactly 40 years ago: Live Aid made musical history. On July 13, 1985, over 170,000 people gathered in London and Philadelphia for an unprecedented benefit concert to raise funds and awareness for the famine in Africa.

VRAAG: 🏨🏫🏦🏭Mijn dochter gaat studeren in Arnhem (kunstacademie) en zoekt daar een kamer! Heeft er iemand een tip voor een studio of een kamer met een paar huisgenoten? Grote studentenhuizen zijn minder haar ding. Elke tip is nuttig, grote dank ook voor reposts van deze boodschap! ❤️ #RepostIsLief

🕸️ Hundreds of lives saved. Millions in damage prevented. Don’t let us hit the brakes. In recent months, we’ve been sending dozens of truckloads each month filled with discarded flower bulb and fishing nets to the front lines in Ukraine. (1/6)

Interessante podcast van @simonepeek.bsky.social op @nrc.nl Vandaag over hoe je in Kyiv nachten met russische drone aanvallen beleeft. open.spotify.com/episode/6A8W...

In recent weeks, De Leeuw Kyiv took part in a tender organized by the Lions Club Land van Cuijk and Noord-Limburg, held in honor of the 20th edition of the Lions Charity Golf Day (12 September 2025). 🏌️‍♂️

🎯KHERSON: HUMAN SAFARI Documentary Announcement When your city becomes a shooting range, and you are a target, how do you survive? No sensationalism. Drones hunt humans in Kherson. Now. Available free for a limited time to raise awareness and support. ▶️ Watch now: khersonhumansafari.com

@spiegel.de also covered our anti-drone net project! Arno spoke to them about our search across Europe for fishing and flower bulb nets – and how these nets are saving lives and protect equipment on the front lines in Ukraine by catching enemy drones. 📖 Read the full article in the comments.

🚐 Just after arriving in Kyiv, Guido was already back on the road with a van full of humanitarian aid, heading to Hlukhiv in Sumy oblast – a town now home to many displaced people. Thanks to donations from Dutch home care organizations and nursing homes, www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdoN...

On the road again. Guido and Noud (Guido already in the car) departed from the Netherlands last Sunday in the middle of the night. Transporting a mini van, filled to the brim with medical aid goods to Ukraine!

Another great catch! russian drone caught in Ukrainian nets. Now return to sender! Nets save lives and equipment!

⚡️ In addition to our anti-drone nets 🕸, we're still actively delivering generators and energy kits (chargers, converters, and batteries) to the front lines. 💥 Soldiers rely on these for power – and often lose them during attacks on their positions.

🚛 We've already sent dozens of truckloads of flower bulb nets to Ukraine – but the need keeps growing! 🌷 Collected from growers across the Netherlands, these nets arrive at the front within two weeks, helping to stop drones and save lives. 💪

📺 Gisteravond (31 mei) besteedde het NOS Journaal aandacht aan de toegenomen droneaanvallen aan het front in Oekraïne. Veel drones worden nu aangestuurd via fiberglas draden – nauwelijks te verstoren. 💥 In het item was ook te zien hoe De Leeuw Kyiv... (1/x) youtu.be/-9uEGnI2ryc

After the testing, the flower bulb nets have been moved closer to the front again. Transferred onto military trucks in the Donbas area and ready to be installed! Anti drone nets are lifesavers! bsky.app/profile/dele...

We have started to test the flower bulb nets which we delivered to Ukraine lately. ✅ Looks like they work well and stop the drones! 💪 bsky.app/profile/dele...

Grateful! 🙏 Emmeke gave inspiring presentations about the work of De Leeuw Kyiv at Rotary Emmen Monarch and the Protestant Congregation of Emmen-Oost. 🔸 Rotary Emmen Monarch donated €1,500 from their wine fundraiser 🍷 🔸 The Protestant church raised €1,374 during Lent – and they're continuing!

The flower bulb nets we recently collected in NL have now arrived in Dnipro oblast. They are being used there to protect frontline positions and even supply routes from Russian attack drones. These nets save lives! 💪 Help us deliver even more to Ukraine! Every contribution makes a difference.

This one-minute animation about the current situation in the russian war in Ukraine is so true! (in Ukrainian, with English subtitles)
