Ukrainian. Analyst. Data geek. Cyclist. Dog lover. Director @dzygaspaw: raised over $7 million for Ukrainian Defence Forces from responsible people worldwide.

My name is Iryna. Over the past year, I’ve led Dzyga’s Paw, a Ukrainian org supplying our Defense Forces with tech, crowdfunded worldwide. We recently surpassed $4 mil in donations.

In this thread, I will share why this work is so important to me and why transparency matters.

As part of this campaign we've got three interviews in the works:
1. Foreign volunteer who was wounded and now back in the fight
2. Operations of a heavy bomber unit
3. New tactics from an FPV team

Donated blood to the Armed Forces of Ukraine Blood Center today, hope it helps someone feel better someday.

Have you ever considered donating blood? 🩸😊

UCU APPS alumni @ucu_apps raised ₴1,106,022 ($24,608) for two of their own 💪

Danylo and Oleh both studied at the Ukrainian Catholic University. Both are now defending Ukraine. Their classmates decided to equip them.

₴956,022 came from the APPS community itself. ₴150,000 more came from an anonymous donor, who covered the cost of one additional bomber drone.

Stephan is a former U.S. Marine from Georgia and a father of three. He served in Iraq.

This year he became a Secret Santa for a Ukrainian soldier who turned out to be about his age, with children about the same ages as his own.

I was filming a video for one of our projects when I found myself reflecting: where did this pile of thank-you certificates from all the military units we’ve supported come from?

Incredible to look back and see how much we’ve accomplished. Thank y’all for supporting Ukraine!

Calm is one of the core skills of a Special Operations Forces operator.

When chaos breaks out all around, the job demands a cool head, total focus on the mission and not a single wasted move.

Coming soon 😉

[Dzyga's Paw @dzygaspaw]

Exclusive Da Vinci Wolves merch, made by the battalion and available nowhere else. Stickerpack $50, keychain $100. Every single dollar goes to the unit.

Wear it, put it on your bag, stick it on your laptop. Someone will ask about it, and then you get to explain who the Da Vinci Wolves are.

Right now, in cities with no heating and a few hours of electricity a day, Ukrainians are donating money for drones 🔥

They've raised 69% of their half of this HUGE fundraiser ($500,000) heading into the hardest winter of this war. And we're moving too: we're at 31%!

[Dzyga's Paw @dzygaspaw]

The US announced a deal to import Russian diesel this week, with sanctions on those exports suspended until April. We want to speak directly to our supporters in the US and around the world about what that looks like from here.

Russia's economy runs on this war. Money that reaches it does not go to schools or hospitals. It goes straight back into the war against Ukraine, and it builds the capacity to threaten other European countries after us. This deal does not bring the war closer to an end. It extends it.

Cheaper fuel comes at a price, and that price is paid in Ukrainian lives.

As a small charity foundation, we work for ordinary soldiers, and we are funded by ordinary people who have decided this matters to them. Governments make their decisions. You make yours. And now we're feeling your support!
