Uregent help needed to fund pick-up trucks for Ukraine!

The Ukrainian Army desperately needs pick-up trucks to drive to the frontline to pick up/drop off soldiers and equipment.

Please Donate! Send funds direct to Ukraine (Click HERE) or  donate to their sponsor’s bank account in the UK – see link below

Hello, my foreign friends! 

My name is Andriy, call sign ‘Falcon’. In a past life, I was an architect from Odesa. But, with the invasion of our land, I joined the Ukrainian Army. Just now we are in the Luhansk region in the east. More than 95 % of this territory is already occupied by Russians but we are fighting for our country.  I’m happy that my knowledge and skills help us to fight, but it’s very dangerous here.

At the moment, I am the commander of a platoon of operators of unmanned aerial vehicles in the 67th OMBr (special  mechanized brigade).  The platoon was newly created, so we didn’t have enough supplies. The critical need now is a new pick-up truck to drive to the frontline to pick up/drop off soldiers and equipment.  The situation at the front is now such that it is very dangerous to drive in a car without a REF. It is necessary to equip vehicles with a radio electronic fight (REF) device , which turns off all ranges of FPV drones. 

We desperately need money to buy pick-up trucks. Please donate to our fund. Details below. Thank you   

As a commander, I want to save as many lives as possible. 

Lots of appreciation and gratitude for your support!

Slava Ukraïni!

Andriy
