Videogalerie
Sometimes, a picture or video speaks louder than a thousand words. In the future, we want to focus more on documenting the impact of our work—both for our donors and as a reward for ourselves, as it gives us the motivation to keep going. In our video gallery, you’ll find a thank-you message for the L200, which is still in service and supporting the unit. There’s also a winter gratitude video, explaining the importance of thermal inserts—a reminder that even a small donation, when used effectively, can make a big difference in the moment.

Thanking Ukrainian soldiers for heating pads with demonstration of use
Leonid and his thanks to Vasyl and the whole SOHTASH group for offroad L200.
Journey to Ukraine, September 2023, Honza with Pavel (offroad L200) before the trip to western Ukraine.
A short demonstration of the L200 before the trip to Ukraine. We named the car Pavel in honour of a friend and special person who unexpectedly succumbed to Covid19 in 2021.
Preparation of the L200 Pavel for the 33rd Brigade of the Mortar Battery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
If you're wondering how we prepared the L200 to work on the front then check out this video, it was one of the easiest adjustments to make and yet there were many volunteers involved and we thank them!
The dining room as you probably don't know it
There is a canteen within about 40km that I would like to write about. It's open to absolutely everyone 24/7, mostly soldiers going to or from the front or volunteers eat there, but no one asks you who you are and what you do so that they will reassess your eligibility to use their services.
The facility looks like some sort of makeshift building from the outside, but inside it has two rooms, one just inside the entrance used as a prep room for food. There are two women who prepare the ingredients and cook. One woman sits in the middle of the room peeling potatoes, the other peels some other vegetables. It's late summer, we're outside in T-shirts and short pants. But just outside the door you are surprised by the heat, the heat from the three or so stoves used for cooking, heated with wood.
You walk past the women and find yourself in a large room. Along one wall is a long table full of food and ready seats for diners. Across the way is a back room for service and some other areas for food preparation. Just inside the entrance to the room is a sink where you wash your hands when you arrive. The service is two-person and serves soup and main course, plus whatever side dishes you have on the table. You get your food almost as soon as you sit down, just specify if you want soup or a main dish.
You eat in 10 minutes max and you're on your way, you don't pay anything! It's all a service to others. The people are very nice, you can see that the work is fulfilling and there's a real reason for it. On the walls hang the flags of Ukraine, signed by the soldiers, in the corner of the room even the flags of the units, small gifts and insignia of the units. You can see the gratitude of the visitors for whom this facility makes life, which is not easy at the moment, much easier.
