They'll soon continue their journey...
The Bakhmut defenders published a public request for drones. Today we have raised almost $8,000 in response. That is several more drones in the sky above Bakhmut, holding back the orcs and saving lives. Want to help get more in the air? Donate today!
Yesterday, the ๐บ๐ฆ defenders requested more drones for the Battle of Bakhmut. In response, we have received over $97,000 in donations plus 12 drones (worth $26,500) from our Amazon wishlist! That total equals more than 50 Mavic drones to defend Ukraine!
โโฆI call upon everyone to keep helping the Ukrainians, because they are fighting for our freedom as well.โ โHarri_Est, UAO

This is why Ukraine Must Win! This hero was murdered by the russians who captured him ๐ข
His last words were "Slava Ukraini"
The only fitting reply is HEROYAM SLAVA!
Pieces of Russian SU-34 shot down in Kyiv Oblast on 03.31.22 are now fully impaled on Tryzubs and available in different shapes and sizes in our gift shop.
All proceeds go to help the Ukrainian defenders.
We at Ukraine Aid Ops 100% agree with President Zelensky's message! As a 501c3 charity which has been repeatedly recognized by the Ukrainian armed forces, we offer a safe and convenient way to make your investment in freedom, direct to the frontlines.
HUGE shipment of your Amazon US donation have arrived in Kyiv, check it out! And another huge batch of your Amazon DE donations are on the way!

Harri has a message from Bakhmut for everyone supporting Ukraine.
The Russians Christmas attack is underway and the defenders NEED our support! In particular, they are asking for drones.
Brave Bakhmut defenders of the 28th Brigade Artillery Unit received needed supplies and protective gear from our ground team.

Our next train stop reminds the orcs of the Soviet tradition of mass murder - and then blaming the Nazis. In Kharkiv, they killed 1000s of Polish officers (as part of the Katyn Massacre) alongside 1000s of ๐บ๐ฆ intellectuals. ๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฅ Never forget!
