APRIL – MAY 2026 UPDATE
Friends of Ukraine,
I am honored to present an update on our activities, which have focused on supporting the military in Ukraine. We believe it’s the most important contribution at this time, and a strong Ukrainian army is the shortest way to end the war.
For all Ukrainians, the present-day Ukrainian army is about close family, friends, neighbors, the parents of children’s classmates, and many, many other people we know well. Most of them had never thought to be military, but look at what’s happening and how they are fighting.
It’s the 1555th day of the full-scale war. The harsh conditions break the metal easily, as you can see in the video below (posted with permission from our friends at the 15th Artillery Brigade “KARADAG”, 2nd Artillery Battalion), but they can’t break the spirit until we are all together.
We help fix the metal, and our support enables them to perform combat tasks on time and efficiently.
Your support helps to keep the spirit up, too. It’s good to know you are not alone.
If you live in Ukraine, every step takes a big effort now, and we are grateful to these boys and other soldiers we have been helping for the time they take to record these thank you videos for us. Of course, there’re are not words to express gratitude for their contribution.
This video comes from my best friend, a former BBC journalist who volunteered to join the army when the full-scale war started. Big thank you to to everyone and to our Australian friends who have been with us all this time:
This vehicle was featured in the previous update. While we had some issues with repairing it and reaching the new owner as he was at his positions for a long time, it was delivered and operates successfully:
We often receive requests to help repair vehicles and purchase spare parts, and such repair projects are ongoing now. As I said, metal breaks quickly. Here’s a video to say thank you for one of such projects:
Hear the birds singing in the video? It may seem to be a dissonance with the war reality, but it’s part of it anyway.
Thank you for this thermal imaging device, as you will learn, it’s very important for soldiers’ safety:
You’ve met this soldier of a mortar unit of the 115th Mechanized Brigade in many previous updates: we’ve kept supporting them for quite a while. This boat engine is helping them to cross the river when going to their positions:
It has been painful to learn that he was wounded recently. However, he is doing well now, and his physical rehabilitation is ongoing.
We’ve kept supporting others, providing such vital equipment as Starlink units, Bandera batteries, and other. Thes are the thank you pictures receieved from some of the soldiers.
Your ongoing help is critical for many.
THANK YOU FROM UKRAINE!
