Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign during the first week. From Dec 21 to Dec 28 we raised €993. Donations are received in EUR and spent locally in UAH, and we factor in an approximate 9 percent reduction due to Stripe and Donorbox fees plus currency conversion costs.
This week we purchased essential medical items and supplies needed for ongoing care: two Trikseo Aerosphere inhalers (AstraZeneca) 4,400 UAH, a blood pressure monitor 4,250 UAH, an Omron MicroAIR U100 mesh nebulizer 12,600 UAH, three oxygen canisters 4,290 UAH, and medications in total 4,126 UAH. Total spent (receipted): 29,666 UAH.
I have attached a collage of receipts and purchased items with personal data removed. The full weekly report with supporting photos is here:

I recorded a short video in front of the Odesa pre-trial detention centre, where I spent nearly 12 months myself. Dr Oleg Maltsev is still being held there and urgently needs medical stabilization support during ongoing power outages.
Phase 1 target: €8,000 (60 days of medication + specialist consultations + essential supplies).
How funds are used: I transfer donations to Dr Maltsev’s family for medical purchases and delivery. Real receipts will be published here (first receipts update: 29 Dec).
Please donate — or forward this page to one person who can help today.
