KORD, who typically specializes in close combat, struck a warehouse *47km* south of Kherson. It shows the necessity for all combat units to master drone warfare, the ranges to which all combat units are capable of touching, and the flexibility that drone power brings to combat units. This warehouse was so far from the front that geolocating it was difficult. That alone is impressive. We are currently fundraising a van for KORD. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN

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. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN

This is, unfortunately, the fate of many vans in Ukraine. They are commodities that require frequent replacement due to battlefield losses. This is why we are fundraising to buy vans for Khartiia, so they can continue combat operations. If you are in the US, the donation is tax deductible. There is a paypal link here, but in the post below there are other options for donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN

Khartiia is interesting with a lot of small quirks. For example, they work with actual Robocops. We are raising money to support Khartiia right now. The guys say they need Vans, so we are buying them vans.

Hello, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. We are running a fundraiser to buy vans for the Ukrainian military, namely for Khartiia but also, hopefully, for others as well. We are running the fundraiser via Liberty Ukraine, which, for Americans at least, offers a tax benefit, as it is an officially listed 501(c)(3) charity. Perhaps this fact will influence someone. The units explicitly asked us to raise money for vans, because they need vans to carry sensitive equipment. Most often you see fundraisers for pickups or four wheelers, which are used for different slightly different purposes. Every vehicle has a niche, and the units tell us vans are the current niche they need. We would like to deliver the vans as soon as possible, and we hope the greater community will help us in this cause.
Donation appeal. Live PayPal: $18,020 / $100,000 raised (231 donations). Vans for Khartiia Corps (and secret unit).

We're close to our daily goal. 👀https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN
'We're close to our daily goal' — donation appeal.
This is awesome. Shit like this is what inspires us to fundraise in their support. What happens is that, gradually, over the span of weeks/months, resources are slowly drained until at one point something bad can happen. A small Russian advance here, lost positions there. We don't want that. We want them to remain strong, and to keep doing what you see in this video. https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN

Silence doesn't mean inactivity. Often, it means the forces there are kicking ass. As is the case in Kharkiv, where Khartiia has been quietly holding back Russian assaults. Russia's tactic is to slowly grind down units over time until they eventually break through. We don't want that to happen. We don't want to surrender initiative to the Russians and resort to firefighting measures where we jump around from one crisis to another. We are providing the resources NOW, to stop the crisis before it happens. And to keep stuffing Russians into boxes. Please donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN

We are fundraising to provide Khartiia with critical transport vans. Logistics keeps the front moving. Please support the mission below. You can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RJR9RTMJSAULN Vehicles are a commodity. We've tracked vehicle losses in Ukraine for years, including light-skinned vehicles such as vans and pickup trucks. Those who follow us know and understand the attrition rates. The scale is immense. In the first 22 days of April alone, we tracked 931 losses in this category (cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans, combined). As our followers know, video analysis captures only a fraction of the total losses. While some of these vehicles are ultimately recovered and repaired, many are abandoned, stripped for parts, or destroyed. This is the reality of war. Support for Ukraine means funding and supplying these vehicles. Why Vans? Cargo In → Casualties Out Inbound: Vans protect sensitive cargo, such as electronics, from dust, mud, and rain. Outbound: Once goods are delivered, these vehicles provide a protected, enclosed space to evacuate the wounded for treatment. The Goal: $100,000 We are raising funds to purchase, repair, and prep vans for Khartiia and another secret special unit. The budget covers the purchase price, mud tires, spare parts, and technical preparation required for front-line deployment. This is the first fundraiser spearheaded by my data collection and mapping project, Ukraine Daily Update, in association with volunteers at Tochnyi. To ensure total transparency and professional logistics, we are partnering with Liberty Ukraine, which will handle the backend and 501(c)(3) status. We know our audience understands the scale of this need. We hope those who are able will donate to help us get these vans to the front as promptly as possible. The fundraiser page is here, with alternative ways to donate: https://www.libertyukraine.org/from-screens-to-the-frontline
Initial announcement: $100,000 goal to fund vans for Khartiia and another unit; partnered with Liberty Ukraine for backend + 501(c)(3).
