Yuriy Biryukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters":

"I try not to be distracted. I try not to relax. I grind my teeth and scrupulously choose my priorities, because we need a lot of work, a lot of work and... a miracle. And yesterday we managed to make a miracle!
Is it a miracle to find 626 original batteries for Motorola's standard army radios ready for delivery in Europe? It is!
Raising more than a million hryvnias for a purchase in a few days, getting banned from PayPal and accepting the fact that 15 000$ was blocked there, then suddenly receiving an unblocking letter a day later and getting the money out of there - is it a miracle? Yes, it is!
Is it a miracle to receive a call from a supplier that they are ready to ship 400 batteries without full payment, provided that the payments are completed within two weeks and with our promise to quickly deliver the batteries to the front line? Yes, it is!
Three miracles in one? And now we have 400 wonderful batteries with vibrating clips in our office. And on Monday they will go to the air assault brigades, we have already received the distribution from the command. Needless to say, they were... a bit... shocked by the speed of the request fulfillment?
I believe in the miracles of army volunteer life and I believe in us. But after the "adventures" with the support service, I don't trust the reliability of PayPal a bit now, so we found a way to collect the remaining money in hryvnia for payment."
