Greg's Update
🎦 00:49-06:53⏩
Greg starts his update humorously, mentioning his "aggressive rest" haircut and tea. He then details the aid efforts he's been coordinating:
- Batteries for Communication Systems: Two batteries have been purchased and delivered to soldiers in the south (the "Cranky guys"). More are being acquired as they are crucial for communication, especially given the soldiers' extended deployments (up to five days).
- Medical Supplies: Mainline stretchers have been bought and are en route to Greg's base, with pictures and videos to be shared later. Evacuation sleds for transporting wounded through snow have also been purchased.
- Metal Detectors and Demining Tools: Thanks to viewer donations, metal detectors have been ordered. Greg, inspired by a tweet from a British demining volunteer, is also working on acquiring DZM-1s, portable devices that can deactivate certain types of mines. This ensures a comprehensive approach to mine safety.
- Collaboration and Future Plans: Greg shares details about coordinating with Johnny (who will be joining him in Ukraine), meeting a high-ranking Ukrainian military commander who's impressed with the support and is willing to provide access to critical areas, and staying in touch with the battalion they are supporting (whose members are excited about the collaboration and watch Greg's videos).
- Air Shipment Update: In a positive turn of events, the much-awaited air shipment of aid has been cleared to arrive directly at their warehouse in Khmelnytsky, simplifying logistics significantly.
