Ukraine Focus

My special report tonight on the work by PVA and @UkraineFocus to help people in Ukraine injured by Russia's invasion, "When you ask Tony why help Ukraine: “Why help anybody anywhere? They need the help." news10.com/news/special-r…

Mission 15 update: The ambulances have arrived in Kyiv! Thanks to generous donor support, these vehicles are now ready to help save lives on the front lines. карети швидкої допомоги прибули до Києва! Завдяки щедрим донорам ці автомобілі готові рятувати життя на передовій.

💙💛 Defenders Day of Ukraine This Defenders Day also marks the beginning of an important chapter for Ukraine Focus. Our volunteers are soon starting their journey to embark on Mission 15, bringing ambulances, medical aid, and humanitarian relief directly to those on the ground.

I was deeply moved by the commitment of all these volunteers to a single goal: helping Ukraine fight for freedom through a simple, yet vital action: saving lives. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦"

Many volunteers first learned about our missions in 2024. That year, on the 80th anniversary of #DDay Ukraine Focus delivered a record number of ambulances to Ukraine.🚑The mission began on the shores of Normandy, at the legendary Utah Beach. It was then we met Franck Pieciak.🤝

Since then, I’ve completed 5 missions — convoy trips to Kyiv, crossing Europe, the Carpathian Mountains, and the plains of Ukraine with volunteers from around the world: Americans, British, Germans, Australians, Canadians, Poles, Ukrainians, and French.

"My involvement with Ukraine Focus began when I answered Brock Bierman's call for volunteers to depart from the Normandy landing beaches for Kyiv on June 7, 2024.

It’s a stand for democracy, freedom, and the legacy of peace our ancestors fought to build. These missions matter. And I’m proud to be part of them.”

✨ Meet our volunteers! As October’s Ukraine Focus mission 🚑 approaches, we’re sharing stories from those who make it possible. Today: Tamara Olexy 🇺🇸, Executive Director of UCCA, who joined two convoys delivering life-saving ambulances to Ukraine. Full story in comments.

What’s inspired me most is the incredible community of volunteers 💪 — individuals who’ve selflessly given their time, energy, and resources to support Ukraine. Their dedication is a powerful reminder that this is not simply an act of charity.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors ❤️ and the tireless efforts of our member organizations, UCCA was proud to help raise funds to contribute to these missions that deliver more than just ambulances — they deliver hope, resilience, and the tools to save lives 🙏.

The year before, in June 2024, I took part in the Convoy of Hope, which departed from Normandy to Kyiv, symbolically linking past and present by honoring WWII heroes while standing with Ukraine in its fight for democracy 🕊️.

In May 2025, I joined the Alliance of Victory Convoy — a powerful humanitarian mission delivering urgently needed medical transport to Ukraine. This convoy was more than symbolic; it was a lifeline to a nation fighting for survival and defending the democratic values we all share

To support the army, Ukraine Focus has delivered 300 solar panels ☀️to Ukraine. The Territorial Defense Forces thank you @repbrock for the support, and we are also grateful to our donors: @SolarsenseUK @acvalvealliance-Clevedon @welsh.water-Cardiff #UkraineFocus #mission #TDF

🎣➡️🛡️ From fishing boats to the frontline: a truckload of old fishing nets from the Netherlands is now protecting 🇺🇦 soldiers. These nets hide vehicles & trenches — and can even deflect FPV drones & “Lancets”, forcing explosions at a safe distance💥Second life = saved lives💙💛

🚑 Mission complete — when the ambulances & pickups are on duty and we get messages like: "Thanks to @UkraineFocus & Brock Bierman for the support bringing us closer to victory. These vehicles will make it much easier to save our guys. Glory to Ukraine!" 🇺🇦#UkraineFocus
