Superindringende reportage van @nieuwsuur.nl over 2 Nederlandse dronepiloten die maandenlang zij-aan-zij met de Oekraïners gevochten hebben in de verdediging van Pokrovsk. Ze spraken over de zware omstandigheden en het continue gevaar dat ze liepen om ontdekt en gedood te worden.

💙💛 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. (1/3)

🚜 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.

"We kunnen het niet in detail schrijven, vertellen, het is te erg, mensen stopen met lezen, zetten de tv uit"

We now also have support from Czechia for our anti-drone net project! The have already financed 4 trucks to Ukraine. Please tag your Czech friends to inform them! www.darujme.cz/projekt/1211...

🚗🇺🇦 This week, we picked up and transported several vehicles purchased in the Netherlands to Ukraine! Thanks to our trusted partner Nina Hapych Transport, everything is handled with great care.

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

(🔊sound on) 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😃.

🎖️ Honorable award for De Leeuw Kyiv! Arno and Guido have received a special medal from the State Special Transport Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in recognition of De Leeuw Kyiv’s extensive support for the Ukrainian army. #SupportUkraine #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

No views at all for this post? Is BlueSky shadowbanning us as well? 🤔

💙💛 October 1 – Defender’s Day of Ukraine Dear friends, Today we honor all the men and women who defend their country with incredible courage against the russian aggressor, and we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. 1/6

🚗🇺🇦 De Leeuw Kyiv has once again delivered 2 vehicles to Ukraine – and both have taken on a crucial role! 🔹 A Toyota Landcruiser, fitted with a large diesel tank, now serves as a mobile fuel station for a tank brigade. 1/4

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)
