$279 has been raised so far. To say I am shocked by the recent events within the NAFO community would be an understatement. I apologize for those Ukrainians who have turned this war into a source of personal gain. They do not represent those of us who continue to fight, serve, and remain accountable for every dollar entrusted to us. I won’t pretend this hasn’t affected me. It has. Thank you to everyone who has stood with us despite everything.
$279 raised so far (up from $29). Organizer expresses shock at NAFO scammer events and apologizes to donors for trust breach by others.

Day 2 Today we raised $29. It is our first progress in the past two days. Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us. The enemy will be defeated—on land, in the air, and at sea. The results of my crew’s work are not empty words. You can see them for yourselves in my timeline. Today, I’m speaking to those who, despite the fatigue, the disappointment, and the endless stream of difficult news, still refuse to turn away from Ukraine. While my crew and I continue to carry out our missions on the front line, I need your support here. Sometimes, it is the handful of people who choose not to look away that make all the difference. Thank you for being among them.
Day 2: $29 raised — first progress after Day 1 stall. $1,723 still needed. Organizer grateful but notes long way to go.

Friends, Our crew needs 3 × KSTAR UDC9103H ONE 3000VA UPS units. Quantity: 3 Price per unit: 26,200 UAH ($584) Product link: will be attached below These UPS units will provide uninterrupted power for our Starlink-based heavy bomber control station. Stable power is not a convenience—it is a requirement. Even a brief power interruption can disrupt the control system at a critical moment. Technology allows us to operate more effectively while reducing risk for the crew. Reliable satellite communications remain one of our key advantages, and we intend to make full use of it. People are our most valuable resource. Every technical improvement that keeps operators farther from danger while maintaining mission effectiveness is worth making. If you can help us acquire these systems, we would be deeply grateful. The product link and donation details are below. 🔥GOAL: 💲 1 752 🅿️ay🅿️al: DmitryShchipkov@gmail.com https://hard.rozetka.com.ua/kstar-udc9103h-one/p416238114/ ИБП KSTAR UDC9103H ONE 3000VA (UDC9103H ONE)
