Three Bags of Ladies Clothes & a Sniper: To the Ukrainian Border and Beyond - Paperback

by Jaap Scholten (Author), Liz Waters (Translator)

When on 24 February 2022 Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Jaap Scholten went to the border to help a young family from Kyiv. In the weeks and months that follow, he became more and more involved in the conflict. Scholten collected money for drones, traveled with an American sniper in his pickup through the country at war and attended a funeral in Irpin with the director of a Kyiv cake factory. From the American sniper Scholten heard about life at the front and about the mission to save a six-day-old baby from an underground hospital in Mariupol.

Three Bags of Ladies Clothes and a Sniper is a personal logbook and a unique report of the astonishing courage, resilience and solidarity that the war

has unleashed in the Ukrainians.
