Kyiv's Destroyed Russian Equipment; Funker530 in Ukraine
Published 2 years ago
In Will Killmore's latest update for you, he tours Kyiv's destroyed Russian equipment 'museum'. Will shares some of the emotion that these burned and destroyed vehicles elicits, which is no doubt the primary reason they're on display. There are a few non-Russian vehicles on display, too. Cars can be seen with flowers inside meant to showcase Russia's continued targeting of civilians. If you need me to point you to "proof" of Russia targeting civilians and non-combatants, you haven't been paying attention. There's a history of it. The display of these vehicles might have the indented purpose of some sort of bravado or morale boost, but I suspect there's a humanizing aspect that it causes, almost as a course reversal of its original intent. Maybe the intent is both? Ukraine will fight back, and they should and have been successful in a relative sense, but people will die because of it. A lot of them.
In Ukraine since March shortly after the invasion kicked off, GSMSG has trained over 6,000 Ukrainian civilians in Combat Casualty Care, more than 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers in the same, passed on train-the-trainer knowledge to 20 Ukrainians to carry forward TCCC training to their units, started the Lviv Visiting Surgeon Program, and directly assisted in dozens of major surgeries on combat-related casualties.
A couple of notes from the staff, here. Foremost, these videos are being posted on a non-descript delay to protect both Will and the GSMSG mission partners, as well as the mission's OPSEC. I'll be posting these for Will so he can focus on aiding GSMSG in telling their story. If you'd like to support a great organization directly, I'll include all of their links down below. -Ronnie
