Jonas Ohman - leader of Blue/Yellow, gathered more then 37 million EUR for Ukraine from 2014

Jonas Ohman is the next hero of the Voice4Ukraine.

He is the founder and leader of Blue / Yellow for Ukraine, a volunteer organization from Lithuania that has been helping Ukraine since 2014, when our country first started fighting for its freedom.

Our conversation with Jonas was fascinating for me. Jonas is a Swede who has lived in Lithuania for about 20 years. Therefore, he understands the Russian threat very well. This country was under the rule of the Soviet Union for many years. They know how devastating this can be for a nation.
Jonas is a journalist, director, and translator. He speaks Ukrainian and Russian. He has been on the Ukrainian front since 2014. He can explain complex things in simple words and ask tough questions, which many of us are sometimes even afraid to think about.

He told me that he could not stand aside when Ukraine began a real fight for its freedom in 2014. This is how Blue/Yellow began its activities. During this time, Jonas and his incredible team of friends and colleagues (Žemyna Bliumenzonaitė) have already raised 37,299,278 euros for the Armed Forces of Ukraine! And Blue/Yellow people always bring all their help by themselves to ensure that everything goes to those who need such humanitarian and military assistance.
On their website, you can see many awards and medals for their hard work for Ukraine - https://blue-yellow.lt/en. According to Jonas, one of the most valuable is the medal "For the Defense of Avdiivka."

Jonas asked me one of the most poignant questions I don't want to ask myself: when Ukraine wins, what will we do with Russia? How will we live next to each other? It is necessary to think about this and make plans today so that in 100 years, there will be no enemy near the borders of Ukraine.

It's tough to think in that direction this morning. Russia fired more than 60 missiles into Ukraine. People died. Houses are destroyed. I want that there will be no russia at all. I don't know how to build the future of Ukraine in the context of existing of this state and its people with 150% tolerance to the cruelty of its leader.

But I understand that we need to think about it.
