The war in Ukraine is continuing. More than 100 to 200 brave Ukrainian soldiers are dying every day. Over 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced. While times are tough, Ukrainian people’s morale and spirit are very high to win this war. To do that, they need your help. As of now, I’m working on the new project to send 30,000 pounds of needed supplies to Ukraine. If you wish to continue your support, please send donations to USA Luge, 57 Church St., Lake Placid, NY 12946 — attention Dmitry Feld.

Any questions, send me an email at dmitry@usaluge.org. Glory and victory to Ukraine. God Bless America!

On behalf of Ukrainian people, I’m proud to name you all patriots of Ukraine. Big hug and lots of love.
