The adult celebrity is a “patriot of her country,” said one of the amputees who took part in a flirty photo shoot.

Yulia Senyuk is more famous under her stage name Josephine Jackson — where her porn appearances have garnered over 200 million views — and now she’s using that celebrity status to raise funds for Ukrainian soldiers who lost limbs in the war against Russia.

“Porn actress rehabilitates the military. Wow!” Senyuk told POLITICO. “We wanted to draw attention to the problem of rehabilitation after injuries. Because a lot of people collect for drones, but forget about prosthetics. I think I managed to attract attention because more people started collecting donations for prosthetics.”

The 29-year-old resident of Lviv in western Ukraine became an ambassador for Tytanovi Rehab, a media initiative of a Kyiv clinic involved in the rehabilitation of more than 30 Ukrainian military amputees.

Senyuk took part in two photo shoots with Ukrainian war amputees, aimed at drawing attention to the lack of financing for prosthetics — a key need for thousands of Ukrainians who have lost limbs in the Russian invasion.

    We need to remember it’s not just Texas doing this. All conservatives are trying to do it. We have the same block in Virginia, and I believe Florida and other places.

    Also weed is practically illegal in VA because we elected Republicans despite Democrats legalizing it and Republicans saying they wouldn’t block it. They were obviously lying, but no lessons were learned by those who needed to learn a lesson. Possession was luckily made legal under Democrats, but the requirements needed to sell it were blocked so there’s no legal method to obtain it besides growing it yourself.
