Barbecue, Ballistics & Backbone – One Man’s Mission at the front-Line. My name is Edward, and I work as a Pitmaster just 22 kilometers from the frontline—also known as the Zero Line—in Donetsk, Southeast Ukraine. Here, under constant threat of artillery fire and drone attacks, I do what most would consider insane: I cook. But not just for anyone. I prepare protein-rich meals for those who need it the most—soldiers in the trenches, civilians trapped in frontline villages, orphans, families, and foster homes. These aren’t symbolic meals for photo ops. This is real food, smoked under real fire, for people living minute-to-minute under the shadow of war. My work doesn’t stop at cooking. I also supply high-end IT equipment—like rugged laptops, drones, power stations, and satellite links—to frontline units who otherwise work with outdated, cracked software on machines that belong in a museum. I deliver medical kits, tactical gear, and survival essentials directly into the hands of those holding the line. I’ve been doing this since the early days of the invasion. My first mission lasted 10 weeks. Armed with a BBQ brought from the Netherlands, I crossed into Ukraine and cooked nearly 200 kilograms of meat per day—supporting refugees, medics, and soldiers in and around Mariupol. The food was smuggled into warzones by brave volunteer drivers who risked everything to deliver it. We barely slept. We didn’t stop. We just kept going. Since then, I’ve built a direct line from the Netherlands to Eastern Ukraine. No bureaucratic middlemen. No warehouses where aid disappears. If you donate, I put it to use immediately—right where it’s needed. Because of my direct, no-nonsense approach, I do not hold ANBI or 501(c)(3) status. These structures forbid direct frontline operations like mine. And frankly, paperwork doesn’t save lives—action does. ⸻ Your Support = Immediate Impact I don’t waste time. I don’t hoard supplies. And I sure as hell don’t take photos for likes. I work in the mud, smoke meat under shellfire, and deliver what no one else dares to bring. Your contribution helps me provide: • Meals that keep fighters and civilians alive • Medical kits, tourniquets, and first-aid supplies • Laptops with legal software, communication tools, and recon drones • Clothing, power stations, and gas masks • Comfort, morale, and proof that the world hasn’t forgotten them I’m not asking for applause. I’m asking for ammunition in the form of food, gear, and support—to fight on the side of humanity. Help me keep going. • Bank: E.N.Hirschfeld – IBAN: NL56INGB0002501515 • PayPal: zazang@zonnet.nl • Website: www.Pitmaster4Ukraine.com This is war.
