Let’s support Ukraine!

Euromaidan Press is working closely with volunteers who are supporting the Ukrainian Army and Territorial Defense by procuring equipment abroad and getting it to the front. We are supporting units who are the most at needs of equipment, especially near Popasna, Sloviansk and Mykolayiv. For the demining equipment we cooperate with the “Soloma Cats” charity fund, whose project is described here. We maintain connections with the receiving units through personal acquaintances who are in regular contact with the units and ensure that the equipment meets their needs and is properly used. Purchases and hand-overs are documented and made available to all donators.

We are supporting units who are the most at needs of equipment: the Territorial Defense units, National Guard, and Ukrainian Army units whose resources need urgent replenishment due to losses in battle (near Popasna, Sloviansk, Mykolayiv). We maintain connections with these units through personal aquaintances of these units who communicate with them and ensure that the equipment meets their needs and is properly used.

Governments aroung the world are indeed sending military aid to Ukraine, but there are many immediate needs still unmet, on which the lives of Ukrainian men and women on the frontline depend now. So an invisible army of volunteers stepped in to help Ukraine procure the things it needs to resist Russia.

As the stocks of military gear in Ukraine were quickly exhausted in the first days of the war, the timely procurement of items like drones, two-way radios, optical sights, thermal imagers, night vision devices, tactical first-aid kits, etc. depends on such volunteers finding them abroad and transporting them into Ukraine. Hundreds of ordinary people around the world who were vary of big anonymous funds support these grassroots initiatives because they trust the volunteers running it. Purchased equipment is transported to Ukraine via volunteer-driven convoys, which regularly transport humanitarian and other to aid Ukraine.

People at the front say what they need. With the help of foreign specialists like soldiers and hunters, we determine which equipment is most suitable and cost-effective to meet the need. For instance, thermal imagers are less effective during hot summer nights; by consulting hunters and soldiers, we established a type of residual light amplifiers that would work under army conditions.

The entire initiative is entirely run by volunteers who procure and deliver the equipment in their free time, so your money will not be used for overheads. We regularly post updates on funds raised and reports on the delivery of goods to Ukraine, so come back later to this page or follow us on social media to receive updates on the fundraiser.
