If I could put a photo describing this year, this would be it. This year has been filled with some great highs but also soul crushing lows. This photo was taken by my friend at the end of a long rotation and shows exhaustion levels at peak rates.

Our stabilization point also does some primary care or follow care for minor injuries and illnesses. Whatever it may be, soldiers need care and we provide it. Our head surgeon snapped this photo while I was taking vitals 😂 What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends?

Merry Christmas, my friends ♥️ Thank you for everything, all your support, kind words, and help. We are all so grateful. Wishing you peace and tasty foods.

My friends, it's Christmas. I've had a few days off from the stabilization point and those days were spent sending both Christmas cheer and vital supplies to units and our military hospital. It's a hard time right now and being able to help others is part of what helps keep me going. Thank you all

Tomorrow is Christmas eve and the only thing that is sitting heavy on my heart is this. Christmas to us means going through the motions. War has a way of dimming even the brightest of light. Celebrations do not come to mind when this is our reality. Original video by Malyk_8

Dear friends, We are almost home on this fundraiser: $653 left. If 65 of you donate $10 we are basically there. Remember that these supplies from @CloudyWithBees fundraiser supply my stabilization point AND the military hospital in my area. Please DM @CloudyWithBees for PP INFO $5= 1 🎟

I am a familiar face at Nova Poshta in the areas I work in. Frequently if I'm not at the stabilization point, I'm gathering sending medical supplies and morale boosting treats. Thanks to some very sweet friends, I'm able to send lots of treats to various units. It helps keep the smiles going ♥️

So, @cloudywithbees.bsky.social and her team have been working hard to raise money for the medical supplies they will buy for me and my unit. There is $1,887 USD left to raise. If you would like to donate, message her directly for her PP information. What are we doing for Ukraine today?

Its freezing cold, wet, and muddy but I found a small morale booster at a gas station. Helps keep the smiles going. Keep helping Ukraine, my friends. There are many needs right now. Tell me below what we're doing for Ukraine 🫶

I don't have the time or the energy for for negativity. I won't acknowledge it. I only care about my work and my patients. They're all I have time and energy for because they are the only thing that matters. There is a war going on. It doesn't stop for anyone's negativity or bullsh*t.

What my off shift looks like (obviously with no power). Prepping supplies for my fellow medics and giving extra first aid and medicines to my infantry. I can't make calls when I am on shift at the stabilization point so I prep everyone who needs help as I can and always ask about whats needed.

Some friends recently asked me "what do you want for Christmas?" The usual answer of * peace * always flashes through my mind first. But I start rattling off that we always need hemostatic gauze, CAT7 tqs, ifak supplies.... They said, well yes but we actually meant for YOU.

So Saint Nicholas has arrived and he tasked me with making sure we have some extra tourniquets at the stabilization point and to trade with anyone carrying a Chinese tourniquet (so far I have 6 chinese ones for training now), they get a CAT7 🫶

It is Armed Forces Day in Ukraine. I want to first congratulate my fellow brothers and sisters in arms that I have the honor and privilege to serve with. My service is a dual identity. I am a soldier and a medic. Both come with different challenges but they make me better in both capacities.

Happy volunteers day! 💙💛 Okay, here's another Rima:

It's International Volunteer Day. We've been receving kind words from teams we support. "We" means UFL, orgs we partner with, &, above all, you donors, so I wanted you to see them. After all, it's you donors who make all of this happen in the first place. Thank you for all you're doing for them. 🫶

On International Volunteer Day, I want go express my sincere thanks to all of you who volunteer for Ukraine. It's how my journey started here and even though I am now a soldier and medic, I still volunteer because it is needed and important for victory.

The horrors persist but so do I. Let's get some fundraisers posted, my friends. What are we doing for Ukraine today? Pictured: the best zip up sweater out there from @saintjavelin.bsky.social -Christmas is coming. Get a great sweater, donate to Ukraine. It's a win-win.

Medical supply Santa Claus-military edition 🎅 I'm always so grateful to be able to say yes when someone needs supplies because of all of you.

My interview with my regiment, Kalinouski Polk: youtu.be/-sdNJXYenVo?...

The number of injured in the Russian missile attack on Dnipro has risen to 40, 4 people were killed. Russia attacked a major metropolis with a missile in broad daylight. Again.

The heavy sadness that comes with grief is hard to deal with. It hangs on you like stones tied to your shoes and dulls everything around you. But persisting despite this sadness honors the memory of the ones we lost.

Hello my friends, I continue to be very thankful for all of you who support us here in Ukraine. Remember not to lose focus. Everything you do, every post you share, every donation made, no matter how big or small goes a very long way. What are we doing for Ukraine today?

🚨🚨 Toonies In Action 🚨🚨 This Thanksgiving, we celebrate not just with food and family, but with action and solidarity. 💙💛 Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Tooniacs, another vital delivery has reached the brave soldiers of the 22nd Mechanized Brigade. Check out Alex's post below. 1/2

Today is Thanksgiving where I am from. I'm sending hugs to all my loved ones back home and thinking about everything I am grateful for this year. I am mainly grateful to be able to help and for a cup of good coffee and a delicious mandarin orange after a very tough case.

I don't know how many times I have to say it until I will be heard, but I will keep saying it: fake low quality tourniquets kill. You're costing soldiers they're lives while saving a buck. Since when do we put price tags on human life?

Yes we are. And we are disgusted. This is a perfect example of the seditious behavior trump was referring to. Right in his own back yard.

Hello my friends What are we doing for Ukraine today? Drop fundraisers in the comments to boost visibility. I am struggling very much with this recent loss. The truth is I don't feel much like smiling, but I will try. Let's boost some fundraisers, please.

It's the Tuesday raffle. No cheer today. It's grim. We have to triage requests. 🇷🇺, иди на хуй. Patches, socks, stickers, & more, but the 🌟 is an eloquent sculpture made from bullet casings gathered from Krynky & Bakhmut. Get your tickets here: givebutter.com/ldIslr Good luck, & thank you.

When death comes, the uninvited guest, and we hear the news of our friends being killed, the blood pounds in my ears and the familiar nauseous feeling of dread churns in my stomach. And all I think about is what I wouldn't do for one more hug.

This is my dream.

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

It's been bit of a rough go lately, tough shifts, food poisoning, the news being the news-I cannot stress enough that care packages are a hug in a box. An instant morale boost with things from home and a couple of German treats and of course, medical supplies from @ukrainefrontline.bsky.social 🫂♥️

Some of the good work you've done recently: 🕵️ Drone detector for 17th SOF 🛻 Truck for the 82nd 🔌 Power for 91st Anti-Tank 🥤 Clean water for the 153rd Thank you. 🫶

This made me cry. I cannot fathom this kind of pain.

The bodies of two children and a woman were pulled from the rubble in Ternopil. The death toll has now risen to 31. Rescuers are still clearing the debris. Search operations continue. www.kyivpost.com/post/64679

One of the most hilarious comments that came up from my video is that I was "smiling and didn't look tired enough at this point in the war" First, I've got some pretty big bags under my eyes. Only feeling tired would be a luxury.

The death toll from the russian aerial attack on Zaporizhzhia has risen to five. Nine more people were injured.

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 🫂♥️
