The actions of the Annecy Impérial Lions Club and the 5000 kits project with Annecy Ukraine Solidarité. 2000 Ferrino survival blankets to the Annecy Solidarité Ukraine association. Did you know that war wounds quickly cause the injured person to die from hemorrhage if he does not receive emergency treatment? For this reason, each person who goes to fight receives training to learn how to stop bleeding and must be able to have a first aid kit. Ukrainian civilians who join the Territorial Defense do receive first aid training, but there are not enough kits available. Annecy Solidarité Ukraine has therefore launched a project to design and send first aid kits for Ukrainian territorial defense equipment.

 

Delivery of the first 500 kits.

 

Motohelp therefore becomes the owner of the first aid kits made up thanks to donations collected by the Annecy-Solidarité-Ukraine collective. The organization ensures transparency and monitoring of the correct distribution of the kits as close as possible to the needs in the field.

On February 24, 2022, everyone was in shock. I had only a few hours to prepare the car for my wife and three children, after watching the surreal images of these tanks crossing the border, at the gates of kyiv. 10… 20… 30… The Russians had stormed the airport of Hostomel at the gates of kyiv, preceded by the first bombardments. At that precise moment, no one knew if Ukraine would still exist the week after, we were in shock...

 

A week later, we knew Ukraine was going to survive… A semi-truck from France.

 

Attached to the hangar is already the semi-trailer chartered by Annecy-Solidarité-Ukraine and filled with medical and humanitarian equipment. Here is Slava, the truck driver who a few days earlier was in France loading aid from French towns, and the volunteers are now helping him unload donations and materials. In this trailer, the remaining 500 first aid kits and 5,500 winter outfits for civilian populations are waiting. The contacts are quickly notified and will be able to come and load the equipment to route it as close as possible to the needs.

 

At the late end of this day, and after a marvelous meal in a deserted place, one last night in this city of Ivano, which has become dark and silent again. Ukrainian relief.

 

Presentation of the various specialized rescue and assistance equipment. The vehicle is used for research in forested and mountainous areas of the Carpathians. Rescuers are also equipped with individual technical equipment similar to that used in France. The units must be versatile and responsive.

What about Pijota, the soldiers who draws from the trenche.

"One day, the artillery was brutal. But I didn't stop drawing, it calmed me down," says Ruslan Pijota, who has become famous with comics in which he portrays life on the war front.

Pijota is a member of the 113th Kharkiv Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces. He serves in this volunteer brigade, under orders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, since February 27, 2022, three days after the start of the Russian invasion. Until the war began, Pijota was responsible for designing three-dimensional children's books in a printing press. All his life he had drawn, as an amateur. "While at school the rest studied, I drew," he says with a broad smile that never leaves him. On May 6, 2022, National Infantry Day, the brigade commander asked his soldier for a drawing to commemorate the anniversary. And since then he hasn't stopped doing it. It has more than 100 vignettes, a work without artistic pretensions, but with exceptional relevance as a testimony: some have already been shown in exhibitions and published in Ukrainian reference media. But his most important audience is his comrades. Pijota draws a comrade in the Ukrainian position they defend on the border with Russia.
