The size of a bit larger than a quarter, our surgeons pulled this out of one of our soldiers last night. This man was lucky. It was close to the surface and easy to remove this time. It was a long night. Tell me what we are doing for Ukraine today, my friends?

My name is Rima. I am a Lithuanian-American medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is my request to all of you. Get organized. Share fundraisers, spread the word, ask your friends to give a dollar or two to different causes.

I got to share my head torches with a VERY happy medic whose stabilization point was down to NONE and needed them badly because of YOU all shopping my Amazon wishlist and donating. 7 ifaks went out as well in the last week (the wishlist is in my pinned post). Thank you 🫂♥️

Welcome to our reality. Why it takes days, weeks to get our soldiers out. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/m...

My best advice right now is get a grip. Lock in. I've seen a lot of flailing around lately and we cannot afford that. The MINUTE we falter and show weakness, the orcs know they can get to us. Do not give them the satisfaction.

New post on the blog: www.buymeacoffee.com/rimaziuraiti... What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends? Drop those fundraisers in the comments.

Friends I am tired. Work has been increasing at the stabilization points. Today I made it out to fill an emergency request for 5 ifaks because I absolutely still do that despite my medic workload. The bonus was a good coffee and macaroons ♥️

It may be a small piece but I pulled this shrapnel out if my friend last night. He had larger fragments on his arms and legs that required surgical but he wanted me to get this little one out. He was stuck on position for a week before he and the other injured could be evacuated.

Veteran's day and Remembrance day. A day to be grateful to those who served and a day to remember the ones we lost. To all veterans, I thank you for your service.

In my part of the medic world, our battle begins not in the trenches but in our stabilization point the moment the casualties roll through our door. Whether is a small scuffle with a few small wounds or all out war with a massive trauma casualty, we show up ready to fight for their lives.

Hello my friends ♥️ What are we doing for Ukraine today?

Hi Rima, good to see you posting on BlueSky. We are fundraising for two NAFO trucks. bsky.app/profile/bric...

What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends?

I serve in Polk Kalinouski Regiment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are not on Blue Sky, but here is their Twitter post on my work within the Regiment:

$3,575 to go to close this #ToonieTuesday ! Closer but not close enough, let's go!

I think about them often, long after they leave. This soldier had his hand nearly cut in half. He looked nervously at it while I was cleaning it and would try to wiggle his fingers. So I would wiggle my thumb so he would wiggle his to show it worked. It made him smile.

Life in Ukraine thanks to our genocial murderous neighbor that targets our power grids: Finally get to a washer to wash my uniform and clothes; load, start washer. 5 minutes later: power cuts off for the next several hours. Hooray.

Night shifts at the stabilization point and a new blog for you all to read on tourniquet staging: www.buymeacoffee.com/rimaziuraiti... What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends?

Do not stop talking about Russian war crimes.

I sat down this morning after a rush of casualties and looked down. Reminders of the fragility of life. If you can, wherever you are, donate blood, especially universal donors. It is needed.

From Suspilne, a piece on "help" that's really a burden. The pretense of aid: how 🇺🇦 became a dumping ground for Europe’s trash: deer pheromones, dirty underwear, sex toys, expired medicines, broken medical equipment suspilne.media/1146042-ak-v... Translation below. 🧵1/

The wait. The moments that we are on standby to pick up our casualties feel heavy. There's a static in the air and we all kinda hold our breath until we are given the order to move closer into place. The silence is loud as we prepare and stage our meds and supplies based on the casualty reports.

🌟It's the Tuesday raffle!🌟 Up this week: Up this week: patches from the 152, swag from the 152nd Jaeger Brigade, swag including a signed flag from the 5th Border Detachment, and some florks! Get your tickets here! givebutter.com/5NuPmR Good luck, and thank you!

Being a medic is hard. This job is so much more than most comprehend. It's dangerous, mentally and physically taxing, the studying and self betterment is endless; there is always more to learn and do. But, I know this is my calling and I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

I don't have the words to express my rage over this savagery. Once again russians show their genocidal ways. This is killing for fun. Wake up world.

We just got requests from two teams for about $9K worth of tacmed. Robin has a holiday mule run coming up, so LET'S DO THIS! givebutter.com/UFL_Tacmed_F... PayPal (lower fees): paypal.com/ncp/payment/... (The kitten pic is from one of the teams. I'll do my best to get more. You deserve that.)

This one is for Pokrovsk and quite big 💙 bsky.app/profile/rima...

The bosses were having gigglefits the entire weekend. So, yeah.. today "MacGuyver" does fundraisers for the 93rd Brigade Alcatraz on the side. 😁 And we need more reach, too. Been pretty stuck. bsky.app/profile/cwin...

Good morning my friends, Let's shake off some of this gloomy. Please share your fundraisers and fun stories. I haven't seen any although I think my visibility is low here. Remember to donate, share, like, etc. Tell me, what are we doing for Ukraine today?

Grief is a b*tch. My friends are in pain from loss and I am too. The problem is that the only thing that helps grief is time. Otherwise we live with being numb and feeling the sharp pain of loss all at the same time unable to really comfort each other.

"Why did you decide to go to Ukraine?" I get this question a lot. The simple answer is that I wanted to help Ukraine fight for its freedom and do the right thing. The right thing looks different for everyone, this is how I chose to do the right thing my way.

Practically skipped to the post office knowing this DONATED pneumothorax trainer was on its way. I am SO grateful for the connections that brings these things to me so I can train my students with the best materials possible. Those of you who helped make this happen, THANK YOU!!! 🥹♥️

One of the big challenges we face as TCCC instructors is adapting current curriculum to how things are in Ukraine. For example gaining "fire superiority" over FPVs vs close quarter combat or how we don't have a golden hour or air support or enough medical supplies the same way NATO militaries do.

Today has been absolutely awful. Hug your loved ones and help people where you can.

The longest minutes It's after midnight when two red casualties are brought in. The doctors get the warning that we having incoming. The rest of us are woken up and we get up and go. One team takes one red and we take the other. Continued in the comments

I saw a reel recently of a Ukrainian woman showing how russians are trying to once again steal and rebrand the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian Donestk region as their own all the way down to their national costumes. Continued in next comments

🌟It's the Tuesday raffle!🌟 This week, we offer Ukraine swag including .50 cal casing keychains, plus patches and a flag! Get your tickets here! givebutter.com/zcmNRg Thank you, and good luck!

No light? No problem thanks to @midwest-farm.bsky.social !! Thank you for the luminaid lanterns, Nathan ♥️🫂 and thanks to everyone who donated for a couple more! They are lifesavers.

Primary care is often a large part of our work as medics. We have to fill the gaps when primary care isn't readily available. It helps provide soldiers with security knowing they will get the help they need even for the little stuff. What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends?

Hello my friends ❤️ My name is Rima, I am a tac med instructor and medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the United States here in Ukraine supporting and working since 2022, starting as a volunteer before I enlisted. Continued in the comments

Hey my friends, I apologize for my absence. My deployments have been long and my bandwidth for many social media accounts has been low. However I will post some updates of what I have been doing thanks to your incredible help in this thread 💓🫂

My name is Rima and I am an #American that stands with Ukraine. Let's go y'all, rally call for all Americans that support Ukraine. We know you're out there, we're so grateful for you!! #America
