In the first half of September alone, Russians used more than 640 Shahed attack drones against Ukrainian cities and villages. Just last night, the Russian army launched 56 drones, of which 53 were shot down. We are grateful to our defenders of the sky for their effective work across many regions 🙏

Today, Russians have attacked a nursing home for the elderly in Sumy. According to current information, there were nearly 300 people in the building – over 200 patients and 60 staff members. The evacuation of people is ongoing, and it is being checked whether anyone remains trapped under the rubble. There are reports of casualties, at least one person is killed. This nursing home for the elderly is not a military base, not a military target. Russia proves once again that its terror has no limits. Photos: State Emergency Service of Ukraine

This is your kind reminder to donate to our fundraiser together with the Come Back Alive Foundation for Ukraine's demining. Why is it important? Ukraine is the most potentially mine-contaminated country in the world since the Second World War. Over 6 million Ukrainian citizens still reside in at-risk areas. Mines and unexploded ordnance pose a threat to people, wildlife, and the agriculture industry. As of now, 5/6 of the fundraiser is completed — 24 metal detectors secured, just 6 more left to our goal: follow the link to donate link 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dtsT9q_t
