How do people live in Ukraine? What does the burned part of the village look like? How does it hurt for a mother to lose her son? What is life like when a Russian drone falls next to you? A Polish-German group of volunteers who recently went to Ukraine to deliver a fire truck as a gift were looking for answers to these questions.
This is what life is like in Ukraine. “This war will decide the future of the world”
Among them was, among others: Fryderyk Zoll, professor of law at the Jagiellonian University.
— We don't realize how much this war in Ukraine affects us. How this war will decide the future of Europe and the world. Of course they are fighting for their country, but in fact they are fighting for all of Europe and the entire West, he says.
— We should know that they fight for us and die for us. We don't die because they keep fighting. Our children are not dying, because Ukrainian children are dying today. If the Ukrainian front gives up, then we will die. This is obvious, he thinks.

The drama of the war in the East. “Our children are not dying, because Ukrainian children are dying”
— People who write that Ukrainians are ungrateful are simply mean. This is something so vile. You just have to come here and see how these people really live and what they do. Sometimes our help for them is done simply out of shame. For what my fellow citizens can say about Ukrainians. Even candidates for high positions. We want to correct this meanness. And we also need to remember this, says prof. Zoll.
Volunteers also talk to Ukrainians who abandoned their home near the border due to regular bombings.
— Our daughter died. We took our four grandchildren with us. Shahed drones keep coming here. But where should we run next? We've already escaped once. Thank God we have a roof. For the children, first there was trauma due to the loss of their mother, and now Shaheda again – says one of the interlocutors with helplessness.
— We have already survived bombings. You sit and cover the baby. I protect them with my body and I think that at least the child will survive – he adds.

Fighting Russian propaganda
The organizers of the aid campaign for Ukraine say that this reportage was created to counter Russian information propaganda.
Disinformation and propaganda Russian is flooding the Polish and European Internet. Russia wants to sow chaos in European countries and ignite internal conflicts. The organizers write that “the point is for Europe to be weak and unable to help either Ukraine or itself.”
As the organizers argue, whether it will be effective now depends on the unity of Poles and Europeans we will stop the Russian tanks on the front in Ukraine, whether they will get here. “We don't want to be a target attacks with live ammunition and real bombs, so let's get started defend Poland and your loved ones online now. Let's fight back Russian disinformation and propaganda!” they write.
