That\u2019s how it\u2019s going,\u201d Project Dynamo co-founder Bryan Stern told Military Times Thursday from Ukraine when asked how operations were developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization drove 24 people to safety on Thursday and evacuated another nine people on Friday, According to Matthew Herring, co-founder of Project Dynamo. Executing an evacuation in the middle of conventional war is no small feat, and as the situation deteriorates in Ukraine, Dynamo says the requests for help continue to mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last 24-hours, Herring says the \u201cbacklog\u201d of Americans seeking Dynamo\u2019s help securing an exit from Ukraine has grown to over 1,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of us getting folks organized,\u201d Herring told Military Times. \u201cGetting them to vehicles and getting them to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herring and Bryan Stern created Dynamo as a non-governmental means of evacuating U.S. citizens from Afghanistan. According to Herring, Project Dynamo comprises some two dozen volunteers, many of whom are current and former members of the U.S. military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a January<b> <\/b>press release from Dynamo, the organization has evacuated dozens of Americans from Afghanistan since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in August. Now, the group is turning its attention to Americans stranded in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As tensions between Russia and Ukraine built to a boiling point in January, Project Dynamo began inserting volunteers into Ukraine to plan a potential rescue. Following the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy last week in the capital of Kyiv, Dynamo began to intensify planning and coordination efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the first explosions began to rock the Ukrainian capital Wednesday, signaling the start of a Russian invasion, Dynamo almost immediately launched its first evacuation run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf there are Americans that need help,\u201d Herring said, \u201cthen we\u2019re the Americans that are going to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routes to safety, Herring says, are in constant flux as the situation on the ground in Ukraine continues to change. Additionally, all evacuation efforts are limited to the ground due to the ongoing air war inside Ukraine. Dynamo, according to Herring, is also coordinating with the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine\u2019s four neighboring countries, often on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now, we have folks waiting to get into Romania,\u201d Herring said. \u201cThe border crossings into Poland are super backed up. So, we\u2019re trying to adjust fires as necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. troops in Poland are poised to assist with Americans leaving Ukraine, setting up assembly areas along the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been fleeing, the Pentagon said that roughly several hundred have been American citizens or those with dual citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s unclear how many of those people, if any, wound up going through 82nd Airborne Division assembly areas or drove themselves out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the ever-changing ground truth in Ukraine is a challenge for Dynamo\u2019s evacuation efforts. According to Herring, the Ukrainian government is sympathetic to Americans on the ground and has done nothing to hinder the evacuation efforts. Only long distances and heavy traffic generated by those fleeing the fighting have hindered Dynamo\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an additional 1,000 Americans seeking an exit from Ukraine through a fluid and violent battlefield, Herring said that on the ground, flexibility will be essential for Project Dynamo moving forward. However, Herring says that no matter what happens, Project Dynamo will keep moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not going to stop. We\u2019re going to keep going,\u201d Herring said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Dynamo says it has rescued 33 Americans since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
