Today marks 4 years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Millions of lives were split into “before” and “after”—homes destroyed, families separated, childhoods stolen.
But Ukraine stands. Last weekend, thousands marched across U.S. cities for Ukraine.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Leleka supports the exhibition “Shadow of the Night,” raising funds for a hybrid solar power system for an ICU hospital in Ukraine’s Cherkasy region.
Opened Feb 20 in San Francisco, it responds to Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure — helping power operating rooms and ICUs during blackouts.
Join Leleka Foundation, the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council, the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco, our co-hosts, Emcee Maria Tscherepenko, Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk, and the Ukrainian community and friends of Ukraine for a powerful show of support in San Francisco

As Ukraine nears 4 years since Feb 24, 2022, Leleka highlights what medics face: evacuations delayed for days, backpacks destroyed in shelling, CASEVAC vehicles targeted.
Shared by former frontline medic Alina Sarnatska and Leleka’s Iryna Solomko on the Baggage podcast.
What is love in a time of the largest war in Europe since World War II?
This February 14, let’s choose a love that protects. Your support helps equip Ukrainian medics with the essentials they need to stop bleeding, stabilize the wounded, and bring people home alive.
Donate today and help save lives.
Leleka looks back on 2025 — a year that tested us all. Our word: gratitude.
Thanks to you, our U.S. + Ukraine teams raised $3M+ —providing ~4,000 medical backpacks, 36,000+ tourniquets, 64 anti-drone systems for CASEVACs, and more.
We remember those lost and stand with Ukraine’s defenders and medics
Ukrainian Hearts & Proud to be Ukrainian (Lewes & Uckfield, East Sussex) donated £1,250 (~$1,710) from a Ukrainian Christmas Fair to Leleka Foundation for urgent frontline medical needs in Ukraine.
This funded 1 fully stocked tactical medical backpack and 30 tourniquets.

Artur, 24, is a paramedic. His first deployment was near Bakhmut—where he first connected with Leleka.
Zaporizhzhia, Kurakhove, encirclement, 8 months in captivity. He returned home in May 2025 and is now back on the front line.
Leleka provided Artur with a new medical backpack.
#MedicalAid
Field medics are targets for Russian forces. On Jan 26, frontline medic Oleksandra Liskunova was killed during an evacuation when a Russian drone struck the vehicle.
Leleka supported her in spring 2022. We honor her memory by continuing the work she gave her life to.

#StandWithUkraine
Almost every night, Kyiv and cities across Ukraine face Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure—meant to break spirit, cut power, and freeze people into exhaustion.
Leleka’s team is tired and cold, but keeps working—because medics can’t pause, and neither can we.

Meet Cathy & Tim — new supporters of Leleka. When Russia invaded Ukraine, they couldn’t stand by and began making patches & t-shirts to show solidarity — and this May, became monthly Leleka donors.
Leleka is endlessly grateful to every donor.
#LelekaFoundation #StandWithUkraine #SupportUkraine
On the front line, seconds matter. Hemostatic dressings help medics control life-threatening bleeding fast—often in 2–4 minutes and even where a tourniquet can’t be used. That’s why they’re one of our most requested items.
Help us put more in the medics' hands today.
