I am honored to be of some service, but it seems to be so little compared to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians whose lives are at risk at all times. You are heroes, you deserve to have your country back. It is the responsibility of all countries to come to your aid and defeat Putin now before it is too late.
And where are you from

Thanks for your prayers and I really appreciate the fact that you take our time to actually pray for me that means a lot to me

And there’s no new development or nothing, we had a massive attack from the Russians some days back which was so massive so we have to move to a new base still in Kyiv

You are an example to the world. I hope Europe will send in planes to help.

Thank you for saying that We also hope for more support from Europe and the world. Every bit of help brings us closer to safety and peace.
how long have you been following the war?

I see the images of bombings on television and I can’t imagine the horror you are experiencing. I get messages from other soldiers who mention how scarce food and medicine are. I wish I could help financially but I have no money.

We had an emergency today.

Dennis Cardiff, [2025-09-21 3:47 AM]
I’m sorry to hear that. Is it something that you’d like to talk about? I’m a good listener.

The Russians just attacked our soldiers today that brings us supplies
Killed them and made away with our supplies
Now we have nothing left to eat

Dennis Cardiff, [2025-09-21 4:00 AM]
That must be devastating to lose those heroic lives and to lose your food. My heart goes out to you and your fellow soldiers. I wish the rest of the world would wake up, put Putin in his place, and return your lands to you. Does it seem that you are getting increased international support? Are you safe now?

We are very hungry right now

Dear Dennis Cardiff,
I hope you are well. Sorry for introducing myself like this. I am a member of Girchi More Freedom in Georgia. One of our members, Gela Khasaia, was recently arrested by the pro-Russian regime under falsified charges. He was kidnapped near his home yesterday. He is also a refugee from Russian-occupied Abkhazia and has long been a target of the Russian regime. During his arrest, police reportedly told him: “I promised you I would arrest you someday.”

This is officially Summary Gela Khasaia, a member of “Girchi – More Freedom” and the pro-European party “Coalition for Changes,” has been arrested by the pro-Russian regime. He was taken into custody on September 29 under the charge of causing intentional minor bodily harm, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to three years. Another individual, born in 1998, was also arrested under the same charge. According to Khasaia’s lawyers: He does not recognize any wrongdoing and claims to have no understanding of the alleged offense. His lawyers emphasized that, based on preliminary information, no crime was committed by Khasaia. He is a refugee from Russian-occupied Abkhazia and an active protester. During the arrest, a police officer allegedly applied psychological pressure and made threats toward him. Khasaia plans to detail this in court. His lawyers suggest the arrest is politically motivated, targeting his civic and political activism. The incident in question occurred over a month ago near a station square and involved a verbal conflict between unknown individuals, in which Khasaia was only a witness. He was not a participant, and it is unlikely he could have committed any crime. From the authorities’ side: The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that the victims suffered various injuries during a dispute and were taken to a hospital for medical treatment. Following an investigation, Gela Khasaia and the other individual were arrested under Article 120 of the Criminal Code. Statements from party members and lawyers: Khasaia’s lawyers describe him as healthy but traumatized by the verbal threats and psychological pressure he endured while in police custody. Khasaia will make a statement in court, asserting that he considers himself a political prisoner. Party activists reported that Khasaia was arrested 2–3 hours prior and transferred to the Digomi Third Police Department, awaiting further legal procedures. Summary: Gela Khasaia’s arrest is widely seen by his lawyers and party members as politically motivated, targeting his activism and civic engagement. Despite official charges of minor bodily harm, Khasaia maintains his innocence and intends to defend himself as a political prisoner.

His first letter from detention facility – am well. If their goal is to scare (us), the only thing I am afraid of is the loss of the country.” – Gela Khasaia 30.09.2025

Gela Khasaia has faced repressions, attacks and detentions before, but this time is different. The regime has decided to silence him for a long time

I can send Gelas images too, if it needed

Yesterday, 11:18 AM

In a few hours, they will go to Gela to present the charges.

Defending our land, our people, and our freedom. Ukraine will rise stronger from these challenges. Glory to Ukaraine

where are u supporting from?

Aug 27, 2025, 5:32 AM
Ottawa, Canada
If you wish to contact me privately my email is dacardiff@gmail.com. I am an author of 13 books, I would like to publish letters from the front lines. The writers would be anonymous, but the letters would be read by the world. All proceeds from the sale of this book would go to Ukrainian soldiers. What do you think of this idea? 8:40 PM

31 Au2025, 8:43 PM
it is actually a nice idea

Aug 31, 2025, 9:05 PM
Soldiers would receive all the money from sales. I can’t guarantee how much that would be, but for another book I wrote I was able to donate $2000 to people who live on the streets. Writing the book would take time as well, but the more letters I receive the faster the book would be finished.

Aug 31, 2025, 11:10 PM
Can I be able to send you a letter also?

Sep 1, 2025, 3:55 AM
Yes please I’d like to receive a letter from you. My mail address is Dennis Cardiff, 170 Booth Street, Apartment 510, Ottawa Ontario, Canada, K1R 7W1. This is a book I’ve written that contains conversations with street people. For seven years I sat with them on the sidewalks and we talked. This is what I had in mind for a book containing messages from the Ukraininan front lines. I wouldn’t edit the messages or change them in any way. Think of it as talking directly to the world.

Sep 1, 2025, 11:09 AMI will send you an email but It would be in Ukrainian so that I can express my self much better

Sep 1, 2025, 11:31 AM
I can use Google to translate, so send it in Ukrainian if that is best for you.

Sep 2, 2025, 2:41 AM
Good morning, how was your night? Was there bombing?

Sep 6, 2025, 4:42 PM
Am currently safe at the moment.  How are you

Sep 7, 2025, 7:12 AM
I’m fine. Currently answering messages from Ukrainian soldiers. I have to tell them I can’t donate money to their cause because I don’t have any. My prayers go out to you and your comrades.

Greetings to you — I do hope my message finds you well in this present time of chaos. Ukraine is struggling with the war; you all have been of great assistance with your support and retweets, and I ask that you don’t stop supporting Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine.

Greetings — I have been following the war between Ukraine and Russia since the beginning. Seeing the destruction inflicted on an innocent country is heartbreaking. I respect the bravery of the soldiers in the face of an enemy the size of Russia. It is the least I can do to follow and repost messages. Slava Ukraini.

That’s the spirit, my good friend — we need amazing individuals like you in our fight for justice and freedom. I really appreciate your support in these trying times. Every post and retweet means a lot to the suffering families over here.

What part of the world are you supporting Ukraine from, my friend?

Aug 22, 2025, 2:10 PM
Ottawa, Canada

That’s really nice, I visited Vancouver one time with my parents as a child…I’m from Chernihiv oblast and I’m also stationed there too…I’m a Junior Lieutenant in the Ukrainian regular military, 134th Seperate Security and Support Battalion unit, in Chernihiv. I’m handling my platoon’s social networkings and communications .

Aug 22, 2025, 7:24 PM

You work in Ottawa?? Or your family lives there

Aug 22, 2025, 1:43 PM
I’m 78 years of age. I have two grown sons. My father served in WWII, my brother in Korea and I have a nephew who is fighting somewhere, I’m not sure where.

I’m in my early 30s and the world is already a crazy place, I’m till wondering the experiences you went through…. And thank you for sharing about your family’s incredible legacy of military service my friend. Honestly, your father, your brother and nephew have shown such courage, and it’s clear you’re proud of them. I will love to hear more about your story or theirs if you’re comfortable sharing.

Sorry but if I may ask, how about your wife my friend? Btw what is your name?

 

Aug 24, 2025, 3:02 AM
My name is Dennis Cardiff. My wife and I have been married for 35 years.

35 years is a lot of time, that shows great trust. God has blessed you surely.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Dennis. I’m _____35 years

Aug 24, 2025, 2:06 PM
You work in Ottawa? Funny how I haven’t visited a single north American country

You love to travel?

Aug 24, 2025,
I’m too old to travel. I have difficulty walking and am prone to seizures. I’m no longer allowed to drive.

When the war is over I would love to visit Ukraine, but it will never happen. Canada has many Ukrainian immigrants. My best friend when I was growing up had Ukrainian heritage.

I visited a few countries tho as a child … according to my mother I used to join her on every work trip in as much as I don’t get to remember so much

It’s just suffering and bloodshed now in Ukraine…Kids dyiing of hunger, lives and property damage. Honestly Dennis, you can’t imagine the trauma it cause living in fear knowing your life can be taken at any time… I wish I could blow Putin head off he’s evil and cruel. Sometimes I wonder, “how can a man be so full of evil thoughts?”

I don’t know how you do it day after day. I know of course you have no choice. My father didn’t feel he had a choice when he enlisted for WWII. His ship was torpedoed, but it managed to get back to port. If I was able, I too would fight for my country. I don’t know how you can maintain your sanity living in fear knowing your life can be taken at any time. I mentioned that my nephew was in the army. He is in Latvia. I haven’t heard anything from him.
Take care and Slava Ukraini

 

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words Dennis…they mean more than I can express, especially in these challenging times. Your father’s courage during SSII and your nephew’s service in Latvia are powerful reminders of the sacrifices so manh have made for freedom ,it’s not an easy journey but we are pushing the it. I hold onto hope and resilience, knowing that support from people like you strengthens us all.

Thank you so much for all your efforts to aid the end of this war…it’s pointless when innocent children and women suffer and die for nothing.

Please keep me updated if you hear from your nephew, and I wish him safety and strength

Thank you again for your support…It truly makes a difference Dennis.

Btw… how are you doing today my friend?

I am honored to be of some service, but it seems to be so little compared to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians whose lives are at risk at all times.

The Russians continue scaling up their attacks on the people of Ukraine, last night carrying out one of their heaviest strikes, as dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones were directed against our cities and regions. Civilian infrastructure and homes were struck in Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv. In Dnipro, a missile armed with cluster munitions targeted residential buildings. At least three people killed, 26 injured. We mourn the lives lost and stand with the families of those injured. These are not military targets – they are acts of deliberate terror against our people. Ukraine’s defenders once again protected our skies with remarkable skill, preventing far greater destruction. Yet every night reminds us of the urgency to strengthen air defense, provide more weapons, and intensify sanctions that cut off the resources sustaining Russia’s war. A united international response is essential. Every step that reduces Russia’s capacity to attack brings us closer to peace and saves innocent lives.

If you wish to contact me privately my email is dacardiff@gmail.com. I am an author of 13 books, I would like to publish letters from the front lines. The writers would be anonymous, but the letters would be read by the world. All proceeds from the sale of this book would go to Ukrainian soldiers. What do you think of this idea?

Thank you Dennis my dear friend for reaching out with such a meaningful proposal…your idea to publish anonymous letters from the front lines is powerful and could amplify the voices of those affected while supporting Ukrainian soldiers through the proceeds. It’s a compassionate and impactful way to raise awareness and funds. It’s a brilliant idea my friend. I will be happy to discuss this further perhaps we could explore how to go about these letters respectrully and ensure the progect honors the experiences shared.

Please fell free, I’m very much open to your ideas my friend…

Also my friend…..we will really appreciate if you could lend a hand Dennis for the sake of Ukraine. One of our Ambassadors coming to Ukraine soon is having a fundraiser donation for willing volunteers for the platoon to raise some money to get medical supplies, food and some necessary tech for our platoon in the frontline… I could share her fundraiser donations link on X here so you can help me make a donation if you’re okay with that. We would appreciate how ever you can be off help my friend. it means a lot to the family over here too even if it’s a repost to keep it going. Your repost would mean a lot to us down here my friend

Btw… happy new month my brother… Slava Ukraina

Thank you Dennis for sharing your vision for this book… honestly,it’s a compelling and authentic approach to giving voice to those on the Ukrainian front lines. The unedited, direct conversations would create a raw and powerful connection to readers, just as your sidewalk talks did. Given the challenges of the war frontline.. getting those letters wouldn’t be easy but we will work something out for sure my friend

Btw… how are you doing Dennis?

I’m fine today. I’ve started a new WordPress page entitled “Slava Ukraini” it is at https://gottafindahome.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/supporting-ukrainian-soldiers/…

Sounds really amazing my dear friend… how do we go about it?

Hello Dennis… how are you doing today my friend?

Happy new week… Slava Ukraina

This is a quiet day for me, not that I have much excitement. Tell me about your day.

Good evening Dennis…it’s great to hear from you my friend. A quiet day? I could use one of those honestly

Last night, russia launched 40 missiles and 580 drones at Ukraine, killing 3 people. Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts were under attack. Civilian infrastructure and residential areas were damaged. https://u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-night?utm_source=x&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_campaign=part-five…

I heard that Russia has increased their bombing to record levels and two of the people killed were teenagers and 1 was a baby. This is genocide and Europe should send bombers over Moscow. Trump is still threatening to impose sanctions even after he was on his knees to Putin in Alaska.Sep 1, 2025, 11:04 AM

I’m deeply saddened to hear about the loss of life especially innocent children…. Some injured people were even brought into our camp yesterday as a result of severe drone attacks. Diplomacy and humanitarian aid might be more effective than further violence but I don’t think Russia will be stopping anytime soon. All the international pressure for peace talks that has happened in the past has failed.

The world is simply watching Ukraine burn to the ground

Sep 8, 2025, 11:27 AM
I agree, I am furious that no other countries have troops on the ground or fighter planes in the sky. Other countries are on the Russian border. They will be next.

It’s truly sad Dennis…. Everyday we get more injured casualties from explosions and bomb blasts. Yesterday, a 4 years old child died in the hands of her mother from severe injuries from the blast before being brought to our camp

we are on serious food and medicine shortages… I don’t think the injured ones will be able to survive this week considering the fact we might till suffer more Russia drone attacks. Tho we are doing our best to fight back but we till lack military equipments

Slava Ukraina my dear friend

How are you doing today Dennis?

Tue 4:53 AM
Hello ______, This is a quiet day for me, not that I have much excitement. Tell me about your day.

Good evening Dennis…it’s great to hear from you my friend. A quiet day? I could use one of those honestly. My day has been been a mix tho mostly routine stuff like cleaning gear, checking for drone attacks and joking with the guys to keep spirits up but at the same time, it’s been crazy over, lots of drone attacks recently, we have lost comrades and a few family members from people in camp. We are trying to keep up with lacks in medical supplies and food . The coffee here is still terrible, but we make do atleast we are vigilant. What’s good with you? Got any plans to spice up your quiet day?

Winter is coming and Ukraine’s energy system is under attack again. Russia’s strikes have left storage below target, forcing Kyiv to scramble for imports. What does this mean for Ukraine and Europe? A quick explainer.

The EU has already been helping Ukraine with electricity imports & emergency equipment. But demand spikes in winter. Neighbours like Poland, Slovakia & Romania may need to reroute supplies, testing Europe’s solidarity under pressure.

This crisis shows why Europe must: – Invest in cross-border energy grids – Expand LNG imports & storage – Accelerate renewables for resilience Supporting Ukraine’s energy security is also about strengthening Europe’s own.

Help Me Deliver Life-Saving Aid to Ukraine

1 day until I leave to go $695 / $1300 raised!!! Please Help!! Hi, my name is Nichole Robichaux, and in mid-September I will be joining a delegation to Ukraine. For the past few months, I’ve been fundraising to bring critical medical aid to frontline villages deeply affected by this devastating war. Just today (August 30, 2025), I learned that some of our missions will take us into high-risk areas. To safely deliver this aid, I’ve been advised that I will need body armor and a helmet. Unfortunately, I cannot afford this protective gear on my own—and I have less than two weeks to secure it before departure. I will be leaving this gear in Ukraine for other aid workers who may need it when doing similar projects to mine. So this will be a dual-donation. Not only will it protect me but it will also protect future aid workers in Ukraine. With your generosity, I can get the protection I need so that I can personally deliver humanitarian aid to civilians living in villages near the front lines. Every single dollar makes a difference. This is not just about me—it’s about the Ukrainian families who are suffering and urgently need medical support. Your donation will help me keep going safely so I can make a direct impact where it’s needed most.://spot.fund/vh5qbxqst http://spot.fund/vh5qbxqst

Left Ukraine for America to find a better life and is brutally stabbed a train in a random act of unhinged evil Tragic. RIP

From: I Meme Therefore I Am 

The media always does this Same with Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. The media brainwashed people for years that Israel giving up land would bring peace, all it did was bring

The real ugly truth here is that nobody is even thinking of leaving Ukraine alone in peace after “trading land” (i.e. giving up on its main defense lines) and Putin will use this and attack Ukraine again, but way too many dishonest oped authors keep fantasizing about things that exist only in their heads.

SKYSHIELD : SAVE UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS FROM RUSSIAN DRONES, PROTECT THE UKRAINIAN SKY

1/ Big news for Ukraine and Europe: The European Sky Shield proposal is gaining momentum. It could see European fighter jets patrolling Ukrainian skies to defend against Russian missiles & drones. Let’s break it down:

Let’s break it down.

2/ The idea: – A European-led initiative – Deploying jets like F-16s, Rafales, Gripens, and Eurofighters – They’d operate over western and central Ukraine — far from frontlines — to intercept threats before they reach cities & infrastructure.

3/ This would not only strengthen Ukraine’s defenses, but also send a powerful message of European solidarity. For years, Ukraine has faced Russia’s barrage largely alone. Now Europe may step up with direct protection.

4/ Importantly: The Sky Shield is designed to lower escalation risks. By keeping patrols away from the hottest zones, it defends civilians without crossing into Russian airspace.

5/ Why it matters: – Protects Ukrainian energy & infrastructure – Saves civilian lives in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa & more – Reduces strain on Ukraine’s own air defenses – Symbolizes Europe taking collective responsibility for its security.

6/ Context: Ukraine already receives Patriot, IRIS-T & NASAMS systems from allies. But mobile air patrols add another layer—especially against Russia’s mass drone swarms.

7/ Politically, this could be a turning point. A truly European mission — not just NATO, not just the US — showing that Europe can act as one in defense of shared values and borders.

8/ Of course, challenges remain: – Political will from all member states – Legal frameworks – Cost & logistics of constant patrols But the conversation itself shows how much the war has reshaped Europe’s security thinking.

9/ The name says it all: Sky Shield for Ukraine. An umbrella of protection, a symbol of solidarity, and perhaps a glimpse of Ukraine’s eventual integration into the European family

Here is the petition to sign for SkyShield.

Let world leaders know you support this initiative!

change.org

Europe is stepping up for Ukraine:

26 countries just agreed to form a “Coalition of the Willing” with legally binding security guarantees. What does this mean? Why now? And will it succeed where past promises failed?

This isn’t NATO membership. But it’s the closest Ukraine has come to integrated Western defense guarantees. It shows that even while NATO debates enlargement, Europe and allies are building parallel structures to keep Ukraine safe.

Bottom line: The “Coalition of the Willing” is Europe’s boldest move since 2022. If it holds, Russia will face not just Ukraine—but a legally bound coalition of democracies determined to secure Europe’s future./end

These aren’t vague assurances. They will be legally binding agreements covering: – Long-term troop training – Air defense & cyber defense support – Joint weapons production – Financial & reconstruction aid This is far beyond the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.

Why the comparison? Back then, Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for “assurances” from Russia, the US, and the UK. We all know how that ended: Russia invaded. This time, Europe says: no more paper promises.

BIG NEWS

– The Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of a successful counteroffensive, have “liberated” the settlement of Zarichne in Donetsk Oblast from the occupiers.

Fighters of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment established control over the settlement.

You really may not understand what your words of encouragement, support and show of sympathy means to me and my comrades but trust me this are what Keeps us going and gives us the feeling that we’re in the right path to our victory.

Before the war I was living in Texas, i went there to search for a better opportunity and I worked there for several years as a teacher and I was into real estate, I had to do double job to earn enough so I can take care of my bills and also take care of my mother back home who lived in Ukraine.

But Ukrainian Armed Forces has just had one of the best days destroying Russian aviation of the entire war

You’re idea is a good idea and I will work towards that okay

Thank you for your willingness to help it means more than I can say. Your donation would go directly toward what we need most right now: medication for the wounded, food to keep us going, and some small equipment to help with security and stability. The recent attacks have made things extremely hard we’ve been cut off from many of our usual supply routes, and we’re doing everything we can just to hold our ground. Your kindness could truly save lives. Thank you for standing with us.

Out here, where we’re stationed, it’s extremely difficult. We’re often cut off, and there’s little to no backup reaching us. But there’s a trusted private security and humanitarian group that’s been helping deliver what we need using drones and secure land routes to get supplies directly to our position. They’ve been our lifeline for food, medical supplies, and small protective equipment when no one else could reach us. I will send you a secure donation details. Every bit goes straight into keeping us alive and holding our ground. Your support means more than you know. Thank you for your heart, your compassion, and for standing with us in this fight.

Slava Ukraini – Glory to Ukraine

For readers searching for the Streetsister blog, please note that it is being temporarily replaced by Slava Ukraini (“Glory to Ukraine”).

The current war began on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, the conflict traces back to February 2014, when Russian forces covertly entered and illegally occupied Crimea.

This is not a “regional dispute,” but a war of aggression. Russia seeks to seize Ukrainian land, resources, and sovereignty through violence. The result has been devastation: the deaths of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, including women and children, and widespread destruction of towns and infrastructure. Many observers and human rights advocates describe Russia’s campaign as an attempt at genocide.

It is shameful that the war continues unabated. Western responses have been inconsistent. The United States, despite providing support to Ukraine, has also been criticized for tying aid and weapons supplies to political and economic interests. Former President Donald Trump’s friendly posture toward Vladimir Putin further blurred the lines of accountability.

The people of Ukraine are fighting not only for their own survival but also for the principle that nations cannot be destroyed through brute force. Standing with Ukraine is standing for justice and humanity.

Slava Ukraini.

I lost my brother at the early stage of our life, he was just 8 years and I also lost my dad to sickness and I was left to be raised only by my mother who did everything to see my through tertiary education, she was my everything Unfortunately I lost her to flood that occurred as a result of the dam that was blown by Russia, it’s unfortunate that I couldn’t even find her body to give her a befitting burial.

My heart is with you. To have lost so many that you love must be unbearable, and it isn’t over yet. The rest of the world must come to your aid. Putin must not win. You really may not understand what your words of encouragement, support and show of sympathy means to me and my comrades but trust me this are what Keeps us going and gives us the feeling that we’re in the right path to our victory.

Aug 27, 2025, 10:10 PM
Before the war I was living in Texas, i went there to search for a better opportunity and I worked there for several years as a teacher and I was into real estate, I had to do double job to earn enough so I can take care of my bills and also take care of my mother back home who lived in Ukraine.

But Ukrainian Armed Forces has just had one of the best days destroying Russian aviation of the entire war

Aug 27, 2025, 10:12 AM
And I hope you’re having a good day?

Aug 27, 2025, 10:50 AM
I am happy to hear of the success of the Ukrainian army destroying Russian aviation. I pray for your safety and the safety of all Ukrainians. Slava Ukraini

Hello Mr Dennis I’m so happy to hear back from you
How are you and how are you doing today, I hope all is well with you?

Sun 1:23 PM
If you wish to contact me privately my email is dacardiff@gmail.com. I am an author of 13 books, I would like to publish letters from the front lines. The writers would be anonymous, but the letters would be read by the world. All proceeds from the sale of this book would go to Ukrainian soldiers. What do you think of this idea?

8:40 PM Sun 8:44 PM
Okay, that’s okay by me Dennis
And how are you doing today if I may ask you?

Tue 5:24 PM
You’re idea is a good idea and I will work towards that okay

Tue 5:26 PM
I’m fine today. I’ve started a new WordPress page entitled “Support for Ukrainian Soldiers” it is at https://gottafindahome.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/supporting-ukrainian-soldiers/…

Thank you for your willingness to help it means more than I can say. Your donation would go directly toward what we need most right now: medication for the wounded, food to keep us going, and some small equipment to help with security and stability. The recent attacks have made things extremely hard we’ve been cut off from many of our usual supply routes, and we’re doing everything we can just to hold our ground. Your kindness could truly save lives. Thank you for standing with us.2:41 AM
I’m reposting your request for donations to a fund to supply medication for the wounded and food to keep you going.

Hi. Thank you for following me. I’m __________ from the beautiful state of Brandenburg in Germany. Best regards

Hello ____________ I have been following the war between Ukraine and Russia since the beginning and seeing the destructuction inflicted on an innocent country. I trespect such bravery in the face of an enemy the size of Russia. It is the least I could do to follow the soldiers and repost their messages. SlavaUkraini

Aug 18, 2025, 12:23 PM

Hello Dennis. I completely agree with you. Russia’s war against Ukraine is an act of fundamental injustice. It violates international law and the sovereignty of an independent state. This war has brought immeasurable suffering to the Ukrainian people, who are being displaced, injured, and killed in their own homeland. It not only destabilizes the region but also threatens the global peace order based on principles such as non-interference and respect for territorial integrity. Ukraine’s defense is a courageous fight for its survival as a nation, while the Russian attack is an assault on freedom, democracy, and basic human rights. Best regards from Germany.

I am honored to be of some service, but it seems to be so little compared to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians whose lives are at risk at all times. You are heroes, you deserve to have your country back. It is the responsibility of all countries to come to your aid and defeat Putin now before it is too late,

Thank you for your heartfelt support and kind words Dennis….the courage of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians is truly inspiring, and your solidarity means so much to the suffering families over here. We deeply appreciate the call for global unity to restore peace and justice because all these issues aren’t worth the bloodshed of countless of innocent human life

Mon 8:38 AM

Thank you Dennis my dear friend for reaching out with such a meaningful proposal…..your idea to publish anonymous letters from the front lines is powerful and could amplify the voices of those affected while supporting Ukrainian soldiers through the proceeds. It’s a compassionate and impactful way to raise awareness and funds. It’s a brilliant ideamy friend. I will be happy to discuss this further perhaps we could explore how to go about these letters respectfully and ensure the project honors the experiences shared Please feel free, I’m very much open to your ideas my friend…

Mon 8:50 AM

Also my friend…..we will really appreciate if you could lend a hand Dennis for the sake of Ukraine. One of our Ambassadors coming to Ukraine soon is having a fundraiser donation for willing volunteers for the platoon to raise some money to get medical supplies, food and some necessary tech for our platoon in the frontline… I could share her fundraiser donations link on X here so you can help me make a donation if you’re okay with that!. We would appreciate how ever you can be off help my friend it means a lot to the family over here too even if it’s a repost to keep it going. Your repost would mean a lot to us down here my friend

Btw…happy new month my brother…. Slava Ukraina

Gotta Find a Home: Conversations with Street People

This is a book I’ve written that contains conversations with street people. For seven years I sat with them on the sidewalks and we talked. This is what I had in mind for a book containing messages from the Ukraininan front lines. I wouldn’t edit the messages or change them in any way. Think of it as talking directly to the world. https://tinyurl.com/a8x4td4h

Mon 11:04 AM

Replying to

Thank you Dennisfor sharing your vision for this book… honestly, it’s a compelling and authentic approach to giving voice to those on the Ukrainian front li. The unedited, direct conversations would create a raw and powerful connection to readers, just as your sidewalk talks did. Given the challenges of the war frontline.. getting those letters wouldn’t be easy but we will work something out for sure my friend

Btw… how are you doing Dennis?

On my Twitter (X) site https://x.com/DennisCardiff I have received many messages from Ukrainian soldiers from the front lines. I have their permission to post these messages so they may reach a wider public. I hope to eventually publish these in a book with all proceeds from sales going to Ukrainian soldiers, or to organizations that support Ukrainian soldiers. These messages are about life and death in the midst of battle.

I’ll look into Telegram and see if I can use it. In the mean time, Gotta Find a Home: Conversations with Street People is a book I’ve written. For seven years I sat on the sidewalks and talked with various members of a street family. This is what I had in mind for a book containing messages from the Ukraininan front lines. I won’t edit or change messages in any way. Think of it as talking directly to the world.

I feel so disappointed but I really don’t have any plans or options then to ask you to support us here with donation.

 

Hello sir ,,,,,just wanna say hi , As the holy mary , gave birth to a blessed ( child.)…and for the fact that,you remembered , God eye’s will never depart From your household Slava Ukraine

Your idea touches me deeply. Out here on the front lines, words often carry more weight than weapons they keep our spirits alive when the night is heavy and the silence too loud. To know that our voices could reach the world, even anonymously, It would not just be our stories it would be our truth, our heart, our sacrifice. And if those words could help support our brothers and sisters in arms, then it is more than a book, From one soldier I thank you for thinking of us, for wanting the world to hear us and for giving our fight voice, beyond the battlefield. If there’s anyway you want me to assist you, please let me know I will do all possible to assist you.. thanks one more time from the UWVM

“Friend, for security reasons I can’t say much here. Please connect with me on Zangi or Telegram I’ll update you safely about Ukraine. If u don’t mind

Dear (Dennis Cardiff)

I feel compelled to share with you what I have seen here. I can always reach me but because of dutty am not always frequent to write ,

A village once full of life… now lies in ruins. Schools, homes, and clinics are gone. The people walk through the ashes in silence thinking that United America would help but nothing has happened no water, food, or power….. Families are torn apart, children search for their parents, and the elderly cry for bread.

The constant sound of shelling drowns out every trace of peace. Chaos has erased normal life, leaving only grief and resilience.

This is not just destruction it is suffering in its rawest form. The survivors wait for it… soldier and contract volunteer are really doin their best ,over here the brigade am deployed to we hardly get anything from the viewers.dont know why some brigade has been favoured but we don’t cear,our reward is only God we look up to

if the world will to see them, to remember them, and to help.
