In this cargo, which we are now transporting directly to the East, almost everything fits into the framework of "ordinary cargo". Expensive, specific, but "ordinary".
Here are the Autel EVO II drones with a thermal imaging head. Yes, they are expensive. Yes, they are in short supply. But... this is a common load for volunteers!
Or Starlinks. They are not prohibitively expensive, quite scarce, but quite commonplace devices.
Secure tablets? Exotic in ordinary, civilian life. But it is an important and necessary thing for arthroscopic reconnaissance - ordinary civilians do not survive long in the field.
So what is so unusual about the cargo?
There is only one photo left, it shows food packages. We distributed thousands of them during the pandemic, and seven thousand have been delivered to frontline cities and towns over the past three months. But these one and a half hundred boxes will have a special, very special story. Because they are going to the "gray zone". The one between us and the occupiers, which is shelled every hour and has no gas, electricity or shops for a long time. There is nothing. A black hole. And there are hundreds of civilians in that hole.
You know, there is such a thing... there are these people... Some of them could not leave, the elderly... the infirm... different stories. Well, there are situations when people sigh with doom, but stay. There are situations that you face more than once - reasons, excuses, fatigue, fear. All in one bottle of life's hopelessness.
But the other part of these civilians is that they are sincerely waiting for the Russians to come.

Yuriy Biryukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters":

"I thought about whether to write about it or write about her. Whether to emphasize it or keep silent. But the facts are stubborn, and you've seen the tanks from Mariupol and other captured cities. There are such people there, alas and alas.
Whether we like it or not, they are our fellow citizens too. I am in no way justifying or humanizing them.
We are. We carry. Products. For everyone.
We will not filter or identify, ask or calculate. Our task at this stage is to help the hungry.
We don't want to be like the Russians, we prefer to remain human."
