KORD, the Rapid Operational Response Unit, is Ukraine’s elite police special forces unit. They are the first to respond when situations become truly dangerous.
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, KORD transformed into combat beasts. Kyiv’s KORD operators ambushed Russian tanks and BMPs during the offensive on the capital and the Battle of Brovary, turning highways into kill zones. They have conducted numerous raids, neutralized sabotage groups, and operated on multiple fronts, including the most challenging urban combat in modern history in Toretsk and Kostyantynivka. In addition to their combat operations, KORD continues to address domestic threats by seizing weapons and explosives and apprehending criminals and terrorists, including the elimination of an active shooter with hostages in Kyiv on April 18.
We understand that KORD urgently requires vans with sliding doors on both sides, suitable for reliable daily use. Given the importance of KORD's mission in Ukraine, we are eager to support them by providing this vehicle.
We have already raised enough money to buy three vans for Khartiia, and with your support, we will get a fourth one for KORD.

@secretsqrl123@JohnBowers123 I regret to inform you that I have to agree. The US Navy has great ships, but they are too few in number when the goal is fighting in every ocean concurrently.
The Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland expresses its serious concern regarding the continued export of alumina from Ireland to the Russian Federation.
According to a trade data, this troubling trade flow has increased significantly, with exports rising from €196 million in 2021 to €318 million in 2025, positioning the Russian Federation as the largest destination for Irish alumina exports and surpassing traditional European partners. This represents the highest level of exports to Russia since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
These figures raise serious concerns, as alumina remains a critical raw material for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex. Aluminium is used in the manufacture of a wide range of Russian military systems, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Shahed-136/Geran-2 attacks unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The devastating consequences of Russia’s military production continue to be felt daily by the people of Ukraine. Over the past week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 2,900 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and more than 150 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and communities. Every activity may contribute to sustaining Russia’s industrial and military capacity warrants careful examination.
The Embassy takes note of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the relevant Irish authorities and welcomes the Irish Government’s commitment to establishing all relevant facts. We look forward to the timely conclusion of this process and to any measures deemed necessary on the basis of its findings.
Ukraine fully recognises the importance of protecting jobs, communities, and industrial competitiveness in Ireland and across the European Union. At the same time, Russia’s continued war of aggression requires constant vigilance to ensure that commercial activities do not directly or indirectly contribute to sustaining the military capabilities of a state engaged in a brutal and unprovoked war against a sovereign European nation.
Ukraine highly values its strong partnership with Ireland and deeply appreciates the steadfast support and solidarity demonstrated by the Irish Government and the Irish people since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We count on Ireland’s continued leadership in supporting Ukraine, strengthening the effectiveness of international sanctions, and ensuring that European resources, technologies, and supply chains cannot be exploited to sustain Russia’s war machine.
The Embassy of Ukraine remains committed to constructive engagement with Irish partners on this important issue in the shared interests of European security, international law, and accountability.
Russians are back using the ferry in the Kerch Strait connecting Russia with the occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.

There is not enough anti-ballistic missile production in the United States and this could lead to a crisis in different parts of the world. Russia is ramping up its internal production of ballistic missiles. I sent a letter to the White House and to the U.S. Congress. I hope they will understand and respond.
60–65 anti-ballistic missiles per month, compared to current challenges, is nothing. It is no secret and Russia knows this. We need to expand the production. I asked the previous U.S. administration, and I am asking today’s administration to give Ukraine licenses to produce Patriot missiles.
We can increase the production of Patriot missiles. This will help us. This will help the Middle East and any other country that the United States decides to help. Until we produce a European anti-ballistic system, we will need support from the United States.

🚨 The final countdown is on. 🚨
We are in the last few weeks of our fundraiser for the 23rd Assault Regiment "R.U.G.", 2nd Khartia Corps National Guard. Our goal? Deliver more vital transport vans directly to the front line.
Check out this exclusive footage straight from the unit to see who you are supporting. Help us finish strong and secure the next vehicle:

To ensure that the long-range drones of the 1st Separate Center of the SBS (14th Regiment) fly further, strike with greater precision, and burn through the enemy’s rear even more effectively, our engineers need their own "production line."
It is not enough to simply develop the technology—it must be assembled, tested, and maintained autonomously under any conditions. To deploy and ensure the seamless operation of a mobile engineering and technical workshop, we urgently need to close a fundraiser for three key items:
1️⃣ Bambu Lab A1 3D Printer (4 units) – for the rapid printing of precise engineering components, mounts, and release mechanisms directly in field conditions.
2️⃣ Optimum B34H Drilling Machine (High-Precision Class) (1 unit) – for jewelry-grade metal processing and creating reliable structural elements for our "birds."
3️⃣ CHOETECH BS006 Power Station / 2000W / 2000Wh / LiFePO4 (2 units) – to keep the workshop running autonomously 24/7, regardless of blackout schedules or the lack of a power grid at positions.
These tools are not just hardware. They represent autonomy and speed, which directly convert into newly burning enemy oil depots, ammunition warehouses, and air defense systems.
🎯 Fundraising Goal: 270,000 UAH (~$6,750 USD)
Stop being just a spectator of the news about the explosions ("bavovna"). Become the one who powers them! Every single dollar or hryvnia is an investment in the precision of our strike.

Thank you for your trust and support. We keep working! 🇺🇦
@telegram@durov @TelegramAdvisor My monitoring channel DroneBomber (Private channel, Invite Link: https://t.co/hjunDAaDsh) is under a massive cyber-attack and faces a severe, unfair shadowban.
🔴 The Issue: Since Feb 2025, our channel completely disappeared from Telegram search and "Similar Channels" recommendations. All support tickets are ignored. This is a direct result of massive bot-flooding & mass-reporting by Russian cyber-armies because we monitor airspace.
🚨 The Loophole: Over the last 48 hours, we’ve been flooded by tens of thousands of fake accounts. Attackers are mixing thousands of ordinary spam bots with paid Premium accounts to send massive, simultaneous unsolicited Boosts. Telegram’s anti-fraud algorithms see this automated spike and automatically punish the channel, thinking the owner bought them. We deleted 4 invite links and cleaned thousands of bots manually, but the attack continues.
⚠️ Our appeal to the Telegram team:
1️⃣ Fix the system: Channels must have an option to reject unwanted Boosts or restrict non-subscribers from boosting. Protect creators from this digital sabotage.
2️⃣ Stop mindless automated shadowbans: Algorithms must stop punishing victims of targeted bot-attacks.
3️⃣ Review our case: Please lift the unfair shadowban from the DroneBomber channel and the owner's account. Let us continue our work safely! 🇺🇦🙏
📢 PLEASE SHARE AND RETWEET! Let's make this go viral so the Telegram moderation team finally sees this case, stops ignoring our support tickets, and gives us an answer. Every repost helps us fight back!
🎯 55/100 units secured.
As of today, May 17, we’ve raised $14,300+ toward our $26,000 goal to deliver 100 Starlinks to Ukraine’s frontlines.
Starlink has become one of the most requested items from brigades because modern operations depend on stable communication every second.
Thank you to everyone helping reconnect the evacuation chain. Let’s get 45 more. 📡

I am a #Canadian woman serving as a medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
I have seen what this war does up close.
I have seen soldiers joke through exhaustion because if they stop laughing, they might break.
I have seen villages emptied, animals left behind, homes turned into ruins, and good people carrying more pain than any human should ever have to carry.
And still, every day, our people keep going.
But courage does not stop drones.
Hope does not replace medical supplies, batteries, radios, vehicles, generators, or the equipment that keeps our soldiers alive.
That is why I am asking for help.

The Alcatraz Battalion needs support urgently. We are fighting with everything we have, but we are constantly short of what we need. Every delay costs us. Every missing piece of equipment puts someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, or friend in more danger.
I know people are tired. I know the world is overwhelmed. I know there are a million causes asking for your attention.
But please don’t look away from Ukraine.
Behind every fundraiser is a real person trying to survive another day. Behind every donation is a chance that someone comes home alive. Even the smallest amount matters here. It turns into fuel for evacuations. It turns into medical supplies. It turns into batteries, protection, repairs, and time. Sometimes it turns into the difference between life and death.
Donate if you can.
Share if you can’t.
Send this to someone who might help.
We are not asking for comfort.
We are asking for the tools to keep fighting, keep rescuing, keep holding the line, and keep our people alive.
Ukraine is still here.
We are still here.
And we still need you.
