Maybe There Is Hope After All

There is so much corruption in the upper echelons of Ukrainian government, and especially in the armed forces, that the enormous amounts of money held by the authorities don’t reach Ukrainian soldiers. Regular citizens are collecting donations and arming soldiers on their own. Coordinators of one of such charitable funds are saying that one third of all donations is coming from Russia. Money transfers are accompanied by messages, “Ukrainians, we are sorry! Please forgive us.”
