The best laid plans...

And so today we were supposed to take toys etc to Lviv, driving a van laden with supplies for orphanages.Well, we got to the departure point and I had a look at the van...it may well have been a van in 1970.... today it was a death trap... only one door opened, no fuel cap, no radiator fluid, a windscreen glued on with no fixings, windscreen wipers not working. No reverse gear to talk of. No window would open. No handbrake. Bald tyres. And it just went on....so with a heavy heart we declined to drive it ..The organiser in due course with good Polish humour said that he had found a stunt driver....and that it would make a wonderful  molokov cocktail.... again you can't make it up 

Discussions with Polish authorities continue. In my opinion it's sad that a scheme that is already made difficult by the UK bureaucratic visa process is made challenging by misunderstandings.
Still we continue.

A bit disconcerting was later, we sat in a square where an ultra right wing organisation was meeting. Fortunately it was sparesly attended...in fact there were more police than people gathering.

Some of our blogs apparently have upset authorities here. We have been asked to remove some of our blog material. In the spirit of trying to work for the benefit of refugees, we have removed the offending blog. It would be interesting to hear your opinion, as to whether it's right to do so.

    I guess you have to keep the authority’s happy or they could make your life very difficult at least from the point of view of what you are trying to achieve,

    As Steve says, withing reason, it's the goal that really matters.

The Third Christmas of the War.

Image
I remember when we first went to Ukraine, we thought we'd better hurry up and get over there to help before the war finished, and there'd be nothing for us to do. How naïve were we? The situation in Ukraine at present has got even worse, especially in the areas in close contact with the Russian forces, although with the constant Shahed and missile attacks nowhere is safe. Kherson has become particularly difficult, and delivering aid there is a direct threat to life. Any vehicle or person can be targeted by Russian small killer drones. This week, a vehicle that is used to deliver aid that we have sometimes used, was attacked and badly damaged beyond repair. Miraculously, the driver, a person I know survived but suffered injuries.  The occupants of a bus were not so fortunate. It was attacked, 3 people died and several more injured. It's really terrifying.  What's really sick is that the Russian's then post o...

The killing goes on.

Time diminishes things. News cycles bring new, more pressing concerns. But the war here in Ukraine grinds on, with deaths a daily occurrence. The killing seems to have become more incideous and heartless.This weekend in Kherson, delivering aid, under the fairly constant sound of artillery and drone attacks, I heard and saw the inhumanity of this senseless war. There is now a real tangible fear about going out in your car in Kherson. Over the last few months, individual cars have been targeted by Russian drones. These carry small bombs or grenade type munitions. . A car is targeted. An initial bomb dropped. The man realises he's  being targeted and tries to drive away at high speed. He then stops suddenly, hoping to get away. Opens his door to run away, but about two metres away from the car a small bomb explodes. With the door open, nothing seems to happen, then as in slow motion, a man falls from the driver's seat onto the road. Dead. It...

Krakow to Lviv

Image
We left Krakow at 3am because we had heard that there have been up to 3 hour waits on the Poland-Ukraine border. The balance has changed to more people returning to Ukraine (to the relatively safe western Lviv region) than leaving Ukraine. As it happened, we drove through the fairly haphazard border controls with no hold up. The first thing we noticed on the Ukrainian side were miles (literally) of lorries lining the side of the highway, which was only 2 lanes so made for fairly scary driving. On the Polish side was an equally long line of parked cars, waiting to be sold. We also noticed more potholes on Ukrainian roads than even East Lancashire! The purpose of our visit to Ukraine is 2-fold: firstly, we drove our friend, Romana, home to Lviv (in her car) with her 4-year-old daughter, as she decided against coming to England in order to be with her husband and family. Secondly, w...
