While Ukraine fights for its very existence tonight, Germany is *finally* sending those 5000 helmets we told you about on January 26 but now there’s a catch: Ukraine has to pick them up so German truck drivers are not at risk:
Germany‘s 5000 helmets are finally on their way in two trucks. They will be given to the Ukrainian authorities outside their country, in order to avoid any risk for the German side, according to @dpa

Unbelievable:
The wealthiest country in Europe is sending some helmets. They'll just need to be picked up. https://t.co/6To9ZI5Tir

Like Uber Eats, but for military equipment?
“Hey this is your Uber driver Rolf, I’m at the border of Poland and Ukraine with your order, can you come downstairs?” https://t.co/g5z9z9pPrC
