Hello everyone, I am starting a new fundraiser to help maintain and repair engineering equipment @LibertyUkraineF has already delivered to Ukraine with your aid. Donation link at the end of this post.
Please read till the end, like, share and quote - it is very important for this fundraiser.
Donations are tax deductible.
Over the past 3 years, we have delivered more than 30 excavators, 40 heavy trucks, and loads of other engineering equipment such as cranes, augers, and off-road forklifts.
90% of the equipment we have delivered has performed exceptionally well, as we picked some of the most durable models. However, even the best equipment can't live forever, and the stress it's been put through on the battlefield shows.
For example, one of the machines worked 12,000 hours over two years. That machine was a Yanmar VIO50 excavator that we bought, delivered, and serviced for $30,000. A new machine like this costs around $100,000. 12,000 machine hours is more than the expected lifetime of an excavator in this class.
Today, this excavator returned to us for major repairs. I can't stress enough the importance of the work this machine performed. It served in the 43rd Artillery Brigade, building fortifications for PzH 2000 howitzers and digging trenches for drone pilots. It saved countless lives from drone threats and tens of millions of dollars in equipment by protecting critical assets.
Today, we have a backlog of around 8 similar machines awaiting repairs. These machines have complex hydraulics, pins, and joints that require special equipment and expertise to repair.
My goal has always been to deliver the best-value solutions for the least amount of funding. For example, a machine used to bore pin seats on an excavator costs around $15,000. We didn't have that kind of funding dedicated to repairs, so my brother @vaycartana built and programmed such a tool himself, and it cost us only $4,000.
However, our ingenuity and desire to help Ukraine can only go so far without funding. We need parts, we need to pay for electricity, and we need to pay something to the workers who perform these repairs. This is back-breaking labor done under constant air raids, bombings, and air raid sirens.
That's why I am asking you to donate to the fundraiser using the link at the end of this post. Our goal is to raise $30,000 to allow us to repair up to 6 excavators.
Please share, quote repost, and like this post. It greatly helps visibility and directly impacts the battlefield.

Vehicles are a commodity. We've tracked vehicle losses in Ukraine for years, including light-skinned vehicles such as vans and pickup trucks. Those who follow us know and understand the attrition rates.
The scale is immense. In the first 22 days of April alone, we tracked 931 losses in this category (cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans, combined).
As our followers know, video analysis captures only a fraction of the total losses. While some of these vehicles are ultimately recovered and repaired, many are abandoned, stripped for parts, or destroyed. This is the reality of war.
Support for Ukraine means funding and supplying these vehicles.
Why Vans? Cargo In → Casualties Out
Inbound: Vans protect sensitive cargo, such as electronics, from dust, mud, and rain.
Outbound: Once goods are delivered, these vehicles provide a protected, enclosed space to evacuate the wounded for treatment.
The Goal: $100,000
We are raising funds to purchase, repair, and prep vans for Khartiia and another secret special unit.
The budget covers the purchase price, mud tires, spare parts, and technical preparation required for front-line deployment.
This is the first fundraiser spearheaded by my data collection and mapping project, Ukraine Daily Update, in association with volunteers at Tochnyi. To ensure total transparency and professional logistics, we are partnering with Liberty Ukraine, which will handle the backend and 501(c)(3) status.
We know our audience understands the scale of this need. We hope those who are able will donate to help us get these vans to the front as promptly as possible.

Hello friends and supporters of Ukraine. Today marks four years of the full-scale invasion. Four years ago, the worldview changed for me; it divided the world into those who support Ukraine and those who don’t care. (If you care please read till the end and repost)
While I’m not blaming or shaming those who don’t care, I lost any interest in those people, not because they are bad, but because they are irrelevant to our truly greater cause of saving Ukraine: a proud nation with a plethora of problems but a clear desire to build its own free future and break the shackles of totalitarianism. The path is incredibly thorny and dangerous. From Russian bombs to new American administration pressure to give up our future, to the internal struggle and balance between authoritarian rule and democracy during the war, four years after the invasion it has become the largest war since WWII. Ukraine is still standing against the largest and most resource-rich country in the world. No external pressure, threats, or missiles have broken the Ukrainian will to survive.
But Ukrainians aren't endless, and behind the visible heroism of the nation stands real, everyday work. Infantry, drone operators, air defenses, logistics, intelligence, and engineering, they all do everyday routine work to make sure Ukraine stands and remains a beacon of hope and democracy in this plutocratic and corrupt world of self-serving politicians and twisted lies that seek nothing but to undermine our future to score a few political points at home or put an extra penny in their pocket at the expense of the dignity and future of the Ukrainian nation.
Over these four years, we did a huge amount of work to help Ukrainian defenders survive, win battles, pioneer new ideas, liberate cities, towns, and villages, or simply increase their chances of survival.
With your help, we supplied drones, pickups, heavy trucks, earthmoving machinery, cranes, electric power supplies, batteries, and generators. Your help saved hundreds of lives and helped shape the battlefield to where it is now.
Today, we are still in Kharkiv. Our workshop is working to supply, repair, and manufacture equipment and machinery for Ukrainian defenders. Under the bombs and missiles, with our own electric power and heating, our team stays in Kharkiv and continues its mission.
But it’s impossible without your support. Today, I am trying to fundraise to keep our shop working. We are trying to raise funds for two excavators and two trucks to haul them around for Ukrainian defenders.
Your aid is critical for Ukraine, and I would appreciate it if you could donate to our cause. Anything from a dollar to a thousand is a huge help.

Watch our exclusive video on the UGVs on the Pokrovsk axis with Rob Lee (@RALee85), Senior fellow Foreign Policy Research Institute (USA, @FPRI). We reveal how the Defense Forces deploy unmanned ground vehicles in combat, replacing personnel in the most dangerous logistics and evacuation missions. We also answer whether UGVs can be used as assault platforms and discuss where UGV development is heading this year. Plus much more.
More UGVs mean more saved lives.
Support the 7th Air Assault Corps and donate for UGVs https://t.co/RRugr7qaLn.
Hello everyone. I have not fundraised for two months to give my followers a bit of a breather over the holidays. However, requests for aid keep piling up, and I cannot ignore Ukraine’s calls for help. Please share and like.
I am starting a new fundraiser for more engineering equipment. Donation link at the end.
As Ukraine shifts to heavier use of drones, both ground and aerial, more and more units realize they cannot simply stand in a field, and to operate effectively and safely, they cannot waste time digging positions with shovels.
Instead of providing reconnaissance, evacuation, resupply, or defense with drones, crews are forced to spend their time digging frozen ground. This is a long and exhausting process, and without proper tools it is almost impossible to build safe positions to operate from.
I did not want to publish this video. This UAV battalion recorded it in December and sent it to me asking for help. However, in the current media environment, I feel I have no choice but to publish it to draw attention to the fundraiser.
We are raising funds to buy two excavators and two evacuation trucks. The total goal is $120,000.
Every donation matters, whether it is $10 or $10,000.

I’m having a hard time coming to grips with the hatred shown between Americans and how many of our civil and political leaders are willing to justify our own citizens being killed by Federal agents in the streets.
Personally, I believe that both Renee Good and Alex Pretti were wrongfully killed and we need to see real accountability now. On top of that, our government's recounting of these events has been awful, it's the kind of stuff we expect out of Russia, not the US.
In fact, the labeling of protestors as terrorists, calling it manufactured dissent and directly contradicting what we can see in public videos is what’s happening in Iran right now.
We need to turn this around, and fast.
Sorry to be blunt, but I am asking you to donate towards our efforts to get more engineering equipment to Ukraine, specifically two excavators and a truck for the 72nd brigade. We are stuck at 50%, and my post seems to be supressed by X.
These machines save lives and I can't explain well enough how important they are. Neither foreign governments, nor Ukrainian leadership is providing enough of them to our defenders. But we can help, please don't look away from atrocities russia is committing, a simple retweet, like and comment is supper helpful, and your donations

Our convoy is loaded with an 8-ton excavator and an 8-ton truck in Germany and is moving towards Ukraine.
Total Value: ~$71,000
A bit more detail:
We are saving money on transportation costs by using volunteer drivers and loading the trucks with excavators and other vehicles. This saves an additional $7,000-$8,000.
It's a tough job to organize it all and transport 3,700 km to Kharkiv, but @LibertyUkraineF in the UK is doing amazing work.
I am asking you to further support my efforts by donating and reposting. 🙏

Hello, I don't have many words left. Today is Christmas Eve, and I would deeply appreciate it if you could watch the video, repost, and make a small donation as a Christmas present to help a logistics and engineering unit from the 92nd Brigade.
They are responsible for delivering ammunition, provisions, and construction materials to the assault battalions, artillery, and tanks. It's grueling, back-breaking work that they currently do manually because they lack a forklift. Someone donated an old, standard-issue forklift, but it keeps breaking down due to the rough terrain, leaving them back to loading and unloading everything by hand.
We can make a difference. In fact, we've already purchased a rough-terrain forklift, but the funds were diverted from another project to meet this urgent need. Now, I must ask for your support to replenish the funds so we can wrap up this effort without cutting into other essential projects.
Consider this donation a small gift to the hardworking men and women of the 92nd Brigade.
Please watch the video and listen to the officer explain why this is so important.
We are 50% away from reaching our goal.

Hi everyone,
I’ve started a new donation campaign to provide more engineering equipment to Ukrainian defenders. Please take a moment to read why this is so important and how you can help by donating and sharing this post. Also, please watch the video of our equipment at work
Here’s one story to show the impact of your support:
My friends in the 92nd Brigade have been collecting and recycling unexploded Russian ordnance, it's dangerous and exhausting work. They manually load aviation bombs onto pickup trucks, which is slow and labor-intensive, especially with limited manpower. Despite these challenges, their work benefits not just their brigade but many others, as you may have seen in Ukrainian Telegram channels.
A few months ago, they asked for help, a rare request, but one they truly needed. They needed a truck with a crane to safely collect and recycle unexploded ordnance. Thanks to your donations, we were able to provide that truck. It’s been in service for a month now, eliminating bottlenecks, improving safety, and increasing productivity with fewer people. The impact has been incredible, reaching far beyond the 92nd Brigade. On the video you can see this truck collecting 3 aviation bombs with containing half a ton of explosives.
This success is entirely thanks to supporters like you. Your contributions make all of this possible. However, my ability to fundraise has slowed because of the time required to plan, deliver, and maintain this equipment. The fundraiser is currently stuck, but new requests keep coming in.
Here’s how you can help:
✅Repost this post and quote it if possible.
✅Like the post.
✅Leave a comment.
These small actions will make a big difference in reaching more people.
Finally, we need your donations now more than ever. As Ukraine approaches potential negotiations, it’s vital to improve conditions on the ground. Please donate via PayPal, your contributions are tax-deductible through @LibertyUkraineF.

Thank you for your continued support!
Fundraising for projects has gotten more and more difficult as time has passed. Which is unfortunate, because fundraising has gotten more and more important.
There are very good sources, like Constantine and Liberty Ukraine who put all money possible towards aid. And, we must admit, there are also criminals who run frauds (sometimes very successfully). And I fear those frauds are what are pushing people away from the legitimate people providing aid.
So, I suggest you look at fundraisers who provide direct evidence of their aid. Images and videos handing over equipment. Images of the equipment in active use. This is what Constantine does. For example, there was a fundraiser to construct anti drone armor for Krabs, which was accompanied by video of the manufacturing process, images of Krabs wearing the armor, and images of the armor sustaining damage from drone impacts. It is proof the money was well spent. Several thousands of dollars of aid protected tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment.
And now, the fundraiser is for engineering equipment.
With your support, @LibertyUkraineF successfully delivered another excavator to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, specifically to the 122nd Air Mobile Battalion.
This unit has a truck equipped with a manipulator arm, and after talking with their engineers, they shared that this vehicle is saving lives. Logistics may often go unnoticed, but without it, the front lines couldn’t hold.
Now, I’m fundraising to provide two more of these essential sets (excavator + crane truck) to the UAF, and I’m asking for your help—whether by donating or spreading the word.
It’s challenging work, but it must be done.
