JULY 2024 UPDATE
Friends of Ukraine,
This is the next update on our common achievements in Ukraine. We have continued working to support the military fighting for Ukraine, our lives and freedom, and peace in this part of the world. The Ukrainian soldiers greatly appreciate the contribution of EACH of you, no matter how big or small. Let me share their gratitude for our recent support and explain its importance.
This is a set of equipment for demining. Did you know that about 30% of Ukraine has been mined by the enemy and is covered with explosives? It’s about 174,000 sq. km (108,000 sq. miles) and it’s the area of about three countries like Croatia. Although this set looks so small compared to the size of the disaster, it will still help to save lives, especially farmers and soldiers. It has been bought with the help of our Australian friends Oksana, Bohdan, and Lesia. Thank you from the soldier of one of the units of the National Guard of Ukraine who is using it now:
These are some images taken during their regular daily work:
And some videos to tell you what their operation is like. It is a dangerous job.
Whenever we receive an inquiry to provide tourniquets that help to stop bleeding, we realize that things are tough. Tourniquets make the chances of survival in case of injury much higher.
These men are part of the infantry. They are the ones who hold positions at the very front. We have been supporting them for quite a while and the thermal camera we’ve delivered to them this time will help to detect the enemy at night.
Thank you for another thermal camera and power banks which will help to charge devices when in trenches from the soldier of another unit:
We have kept supporting our friends who work in the electronic combat sphere. These parts are used to make electronic units protecting vehicles and trenches from kamikaze drones.
We keep supporting the unit that specializes in the repair of the vehicles. A reliable car is extremely important as one becomes an easy target if it stops. Thank you for all your support from them, as well as from the soldiers whose vehicles have been fixed.
Starlinks are a way to organize connections between the units, call the family, and see the children back home for many. We receive inquiries to provide them regularly and it’s an ongoing project. Here are the thank you photos for the equipment we have delivered to the front recently, some with the help of the Australian friends:
This is a night vision device we have bought recently, a thank you picture, and a video from the soldiers who received it. The cost is 2076 USD and the soldiers would not be able to afford it, as well as the other equipment mentioned above. The video will also provide you with an insight into the daily work they do at the front. These are common Ukrainian men but they are heroes too.
The war is on and although the scale is huge, every piece of support you can provide makes a difference for a particular soldier we work with. It makes a difference for his family and his children. Thank you. Step by step, we keep going.
Love from Ukraine.
Andriy
