๐ฅ Together, we've raised $5,538 this week for our urgent Defenders Day campaign!
Parcel #1 is closed, and Parcel #2 for White Demons is already over 40% funded. Only ~$3,900 to go. Can we close it by the end of the day?

@MrGMYT My "weird" take, the tool they have in Forever seems like a bit of a hybrid between Retail and Classic Era. I kind of like that its different to both even if its not perfect
@FwoiblesWoW Just want to say appreciate the transparency. Something to consider is having a dedicated person whether thats kaivax or another blue providing updates like this as you go live after beta
35 years of independence. $35,000 ready to be matched.
A generous donor has committed $35,000 to Power Ukraine Before Winter.
From now through Aug 28, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar until the full
$35,000 match is unlocked. Help us unlock the full $35,000 match and turn it into $70,000 in
reliable power.
This year, we are acting before winter arrives, working directly with manufacturers to secure
better prices, purchase more equipment, and allow enough time for shipping, customs, and
distribution.
We know what last winter brought. We also know that waiting for the next emergency means
waiting too long.
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT TODAY:

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.

Sorry, but when Zelensky says he had "no time to figure out who's right and who's wrong" in the conflict between the defense minister and the commander-in-chief, and that it's easier for him to take the path of least resistance and fire whoever is simpler to fire -- this says absolutely nothing good about him as a leader.
You're leading a fighting nation during Europe's largest war since World War II, and your nation is fighting to the death against an enemy that vastly overwhelms you in every parameter.
Yeah, I'd say you should have taken the time to sort out the situation. This isn't a comedy show studio where two actors had some dispute and are throwing tantrums at each other and stressing out their boss.
When a leader surrounds himself with a comfortable warm bath of yes-men who don't contradict, don't argue, don't give him headaches with their initiatives, and quietly float along with everyone else, not interfering while the boss's friends run shady dealings behind everyone's back -- this is the first sign that the president is forgetting why the people put him in power.
