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.

The money we have received so far is €2800 for the laboratory and I will show the previous purchases and the future purchases and in the meantime I ask you to continue to support us to continue to contribute to the victory and protect civilians and ours soldiers and not see that😞

"I get so angry." That's what my (soon to be) 13-year-old daughter said this morning when, in the Danish cold, we came to talk about the situation in Ukraine, where the population has for weeks been living in conditions with no heating or electricity in many areas, because the Russians have systematically attempted to strike Ukraine's heating and power plants with their attacks.
My daughter asked me: "But Dad, why on earth do they do that?"
And it truly is impossible to understand, but I tried to explain that this is something Putin and his accomplices do to break the morale of the Ukrainian people. Neither my daughter nor I came away any the wiser - because the evil in Putin's crimes is difficult to comprehend. Whether you are 13 or 55.
I am every bit as angry as my daughter. But anger in itself doesn't help much. We must help the Ukrainians in every way we can.
Martin Aalholm, a Danish war veteran who lost both legs after stepping on an IED while serving alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan, says he feels “angry” and “betrayed” by President Trump’s claim that the U.S. had “never needed” its NATO allies, and that allied troops had stayed “a little off the front lines” during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
“I think America has lost its soul,” Aalholm told @RamyInocencio , lifting his pant legs to reveal his prosthetics as he described the sacrifices he and other Danish troops made under U.S. military leadership in Helmand province in Afghanistan.
His remarks come as nearly 10,000 Danes — many of them veterans and their families — marched silently to the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen to protest the president’s comments.
I was born in Poland with one leg.
Doctors said it was caused by radiation from Chernobyl.
My body still carries the marks of a war I never chose.
Adopted in Belgium, I learned very early that not everyone is born with the same chances.
At 7 years old, instead of receiving gifts, I chose to help a little boy in Guatemala go to school.
Today, I am the first one-legged woman to join the Ukrainian marines.
I passed the beret test.
I stand for loyalty, honor, faithfulness, and truth alongside my brothers-in-arms.
I serve in air defense.
We protect the sky from drones constantly targeting civilians and soldiers.
What is happening in Ukraine concerns us all.
Genocides repeat themselves when the world looks away.
If Ukraine falls, our humanity falls with it.
Act. Now.🇺🇦

Thousands of houses are without heating in Kyiv at -15°C outside, following Russia’s mass strike overnight.
War criminal Putin continues to wage a genocidal war against women, children, and elderly.
Strikes on Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, and other regions led to civilian casualties and energy infrastructure damage.
The resilience of the Ukrainian people cannot be an excuse for this war to continue. It must end as soon as possible.
Putin’s barbaric strike this morning is a wake up call to world leaders gathering in Davos: support for the Ukrainian people is urgent; there will be no peace in Europe without a lasting peace for Ukraine; peace can only be achieved through strength; we need urgent additional energy assistance, air defense and interceptors, as well as sanctions pressure on Moscow.
