This is the opening chapter of the Nelleke de Vries mission archive: a protected documentary record of a civilian mission in Ukraine, shaped by front line pressure, practical support, damaged places, medics, volunteers, animals, the home front and the people who kept going when ordinary systems failed.

The public version gives the first layer.

The deeper chapters, protected context and full documentary stories will open step by step through the members only archive after launch.
