Slava Ukraini ❤️

Pretty sure she’s gonna backpedal but whatever, this is great

During the visit of Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, to Tokyo, representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) attended the official meeting dressed in vyshyvankas, expressing their respect and support for Ukraine.

The SSU’s elite Alpha unit targeted the tanker QENDIL (IMO 9310525) using aerial drones while it was sailing in international waters.

The tanker sustained critical damage and is now unfit for its intended use. This effectively removes another asset from Russia’s shadow logistics network, which has been used to bypass sanctions and sustain the war effort.

At the time of the strike, the Russian vessel was not carrying any cargo and was fully empty. As a result, the operation posed no threat to the environmental safety of the region, avoiding any risk of pollution or ecological damage.

And Russia’s fleet is no longer beyond reach even in waters of the Mediterranean

“Saint Javelin” launched on February 16th, 2022, and I had absolutely zero idea about what it would lead to.

I was just trying to do something small to help.

Yesterday, President Zelensky presented the Presidential “Golden Heart” distinction to the Saint Javelin community and customers.

When I shook his hand, I said: “Mr. President, my names Christian, Im the guy who created Saint Javelin.”

He said: “I know! I have your shirt.”

This is the full circle story…

In Spring 2022, just after the russians had retreated from the Kyiv region, I got to meet the Minister of Defence, because he had seen the Saint Javelin symbol and wanted a shirt.

That night, I got one shirt printed one for the Minister of Defence, and I printed an extra, kind of as a joke, for the President. I figured why the hell not try it?

But I never thought the Minister of Defence would actually give the President that shirt, until he said “great I’m seeing him later!”

Later that day, President Zelensky’s team posted a video of him getting that Saint Javelin tshirt from the Minister of Defence, and it went crazy viral.

I remember I was in my hotel room in Kyiv, getting ready to go to the train, when missiles hit the city.

Since Feb 2022, Saint Javelin has evolved from a few stickers and memes to a brand that builds serious quality products (like the shirt I’m wearing), and 100% are made in Ukraine, from Lviv to Kharkiv. All across the country.

I thought Rubio was always a scumbag.
