Ben is from Florida, United States. When he heard of Russia’s full-scale invasion, he came to Ukraine. Ben learned Ukrainian and currently makes staples for Ukrainian Defenders in the Vinnytsia region.
Top Man Ben. To help out and to learn the language so quickly. Utmost respect 👏👏👏🇺🇦 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 🇺🇲
The “I was like, що?!” is so adorable!
What are the staples used for again?
Respect
staples?
I admire earnest people who feel a moral conviction and respond by just getting up and going to help. It’s so much better than cynicism.
Truly one of the greatest Ben’s there are.
Props to this guy.
Ben thank you for your help and support, much respect!
The best Florida Man 👍🏼
We all should be contributing something no matter how small to help the Ukranians.
Ben is over there doing nothing more exciting or glorious than turning the handle on a metal press.
But the thing is… that is what is needed. It doesn’t matter that all it is is just turning some handle over and over. That handle has got to be turned and there he is doing it. Not because it’s what he particularly wants to be doing, but because it’s what needs to be done.
That’s dedication. Damn.
Plus he’s learning Ukrainian like a champ. He’s got this undeniable Florida American accent but it’s not half bad!
Way to go Ben! You’re making a huge difference my man. Very inspiring.
All my respect to you Ben. Going to Ukrain from your home in sunny Florida, learning the language and helping where you can!
Utmost respect! I hope we can all be like Ben. Slava Ukraine well fucking done o7
*Florida Man has escaped confinement*
Dear god…if the Russians knew what was good for them they’d flee
Great guy! I’ve had a few drinks with him in Lviv.
