Darrell McKay, a retired engineer from Campbell River and actively involved in humanitarian efforts, chats with host Peter McCully from Ukraine.

McKay, on his fifth trip to the war-torn region, provides a first-hand account of the dire conditions faced by the people.

From sitting on the front stoop of a safehouse near the front line to witnessing the devastating impact of drone warfare, McKay shares stories of resilience and heroism amid the ongoing conflict.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 sitting in the front stoop of a safe house, 20 kilometers away from the front line. I can香蕉视频直播檛 say where it is right now. Just can香蕉视频直播檛 give away the identity of the house. But it香蕉视频直播檚 close enough that there香蕉视频直播檚 mortars coming in and constant air raids.香蕉视频直播

McKay discovered stretchers were in short supply, leaving Ukrainian soldiers with a crude alternative: dragging bodies using a rope in a figure-eight pattern. Determined to make a difference, McKay focused on the positive and initiated a fundraising campaign. To date he has purchased 500 stretchers to aid the soldiers on the front lines.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 amazed. I香蕉视频直播檓 at the total now of donated money up to $55,000,香蕉视频直播 said McKay. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e had a lot of people show faith in me to deliver the goods. The organization that I香蕉视频直播檓 working with it香蕉视频直播檚 called Ukrainian Patriot and has let me directly spend the money. So, there香蕉视频直播檚 no middleman. In the grocery store a few weeks ago. I spent $3,000. $3,000 made up 350 food bags.香蕉视频直播

McKay says a food bag will feed a couple for 5 or 6 days.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e dispersed those along the way, and these are internally displaced people, some of them don香蕉视频直播檛 have homes, some are staying in rec centres, some are sleeping on cots and offices, they don香蕉视频直播檛 have homes anymore,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淭hat was money donated by people that heard your podcast, saw my Facebook.香蕉视频直播

McKay tells McCully mortar fire and land mines and are part of the active warfare as well as the use of drones.

香蕉视频直播淭he drone warfare has changed things beyond belief,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 not like sitting there shooting guns at each other and mortar firing tanks. These little things can go 100 km/h. There香蕉视频直播檚 no outrunning them. There香蕉视频直播檚 no hiding from them.香蕉视频直播

McKay is also working with a documentary crew, focused on the efforts of Ukraine Patriot.
