Together we raised over 67$ for United Help Ukraine fund❤ But it’s not the time to stop! People are still under attacks and the war didn’t go away just because it’s been a couple of weeks. Terrible things keep happening and please if you feel like you have some spare money to spend use that chance to help Ukraine!
Guys, I dunno if any of you are familiar with Armstreet, but odds are if you’ve ever ventured into the medieval/renaissance clothing category on Etsy (or have run into a rip-off listing) you’ve seen their incredible work. They make custom medieval and renaissance clothing, custom fitted shoes and boots, jewelry, and other incredible high-quality things for extremely reasonable prices.
They also are based in Ukraine.
As dressmakers fleeing russian bombardment, they’ve decided to turn their needles towards helping those who pass where they are currently sheltering with warm blankets in the still icy weather in Ukraine:
“After spending a night with parents in one of the temporary refugee hubs in Uman, with no heat, we offered our help in making blankets available for everyone passing this place, it is about a hundred people a day.”
You can help them make blankets and also take care of their employees making the blankets with them by purchasing one for $25.
Please consider it- it’s a good concrete way to help.
If you want to cut out the etsy fees, you can also buy blankets at Armstreet’s own website.
Dear friends!During our previous visit to 25th Airborne Brigade in Donetsk region, we’ve got a task to provide a solution of night video observation. Controlling outskirts of Donetsk is very dangerous and exhausting. High contrast thermal vision monocular overloads one eye as the other eye sees only darkness. You will feel your eye is blind even after few minutes of observation, but realize how to do this all over the night. In addition, of course to see further you must be higher, so observer becomes a good target for enemies. Therefore, the solution is to provide remote system of observation. In 20th century, militarizes used different kinds of periscopes and a simple “scout tube”. It has worked, but only at the daylight.Today we’ve managed to connect thermal vision monocular to compact TV by cable. It was a some kind of quest to find a correct adapter, but we did it. Now monocular can be installed somewhere high, at place with good view. Video signal is taken by cable to TV installed in safe place like trench or bunker. So soldiers can comfortably and safety observe night terrain. Yes, we know about monoculars with WiFi which can be simply connected to any tab or smartphone. But as these devices are more expensive, we can’t afford to install them in many places. Furthermore, WiFi signal is sensible for different factors, so not so stable as cable signal. This solution is relatively cheap – about 50000UAH.I hope very much we could gather funds for 5 such systems to get continuous observation of the part of front line, so about 250000UAH (about 7000 EURO). Thanks for your support!
I don’t know how many of you know that I am Ukrainian and live in Ukraine. So I will not be posting my normal content for some time, I just can’t for now. I don’t know when I can back to it. But I will, I hope. So don’t unfollow and stay with me if you can.
The war is hard. I’m afraid it will last longer than we thought. It’s so painful to watch my people dying, cities are being destroyed… R*ssia just wants to erase us as a nation, as a country. Our lives will never be the same. We do our best to win.

I’m selling 5x7 miniprints of my Lunar New Year dragons for $5! All proceeds will go to the Ukrainian Red Cross! Click on the photo to visit the shop ❤️
My heart goes out to the situation in Ukraine. I can not express the heartbreak in words. I am very sorry to those who have lost their homeland and to those whose families are separated by war and injustice.
There are many organizations to consider in support to these families. One of them is Support for Ukraine with Care.
Some of my friends from Romania created an initiative called “Uni4Ukraine” in order to help refugees from Ukraine, especially students and teachers from any university in Ukraine.
If you could like/follow any of their platforms it would be greatly appreciated!
These are the links to the social media platforms:
Heads up! Backstage Rock Shop has put together a campaign to help out the victims of the war in Ukraine. Many bands and artists, including us, are taking part in this campaign, so please check out backstagerockshop.com/help-ukraine for more info.
In short, all income from our print and Finnish book sales will be donated to Unicef to aid their humanitarian work in Ukraine. There are 13 different print designs to choose from, all beautifully printed on 300g/m2 paper and signed. The Finnish books also include a little dedication drawing. (Sadly, the English book is sold out at the moment, so we couldn’t include those in the campaign.) Thanks for your support.
