Valeu 👍 obrigado. Bom trabalho humanitário, salvando vidas na Ucrânia, parabéns 👏 Deveriam criar prêmio com medalha de honra Princesa Diana, grande defensora contra o uso de minas terrestres, pois as vítimas são na sua maioria civis, crianças, idosos e a população civil.

I just watched your interview with Rock Rochon on TVP world. Thanks so very much for all you're doing. I've tried to locate how to contribute to your work. But there is no address to send a donation to. Can you clarify this on your page here? Thanks Eileen J

Brave people. What about sending a few herds of cheap sheep over there? Or get a box fill it with car batteries add a few starter motors to drive the wheels, drip paint on the wheels, drive it by command wire and you have a deminer.. It could also be used to drag explosives to detonate the mines.

This clicking when turning the key would make me shit my pants.

May 5 2022...Cambodian technicians remove and defuse US MK 82 2000 lb aerial bomb found in dry lake bed adjacent to the Royal Palace.

I thought land mines exploded even if u stepped on them and he's just digging them up by hand? Maybe that is how they do it. I don't know.

[athank]

[hajtabet]

Why this vet won't wipe next to his door in poor suburbs Philadelphia and Baltimore and....and... check mate

[timminh]

Maybe he can help Eastern Ukraine clear some mines that were left over by the Ukrainian government troops, but he won't do that since the MSM media isn't mentioning it.
