Running in a vicious circle looks like this: find out the need - find where to buy - raise money - buy - deliver - get a new need. Out of 2,750 sets of Class IV armor plates. We have already received 1,500 pieces to the warehouse. The photos show the unloading of another 500 sets. We were lucky with the plates - they were paid for by
First, let's talk about something nice and heartwarming. And the story is really nice and heartwarming, a volunteer story like this - we started delivering bulletproof vests to our brothers from other battalions of the TRO. Yes, the same vests that Petro Poroshenko paid for. The 128th battalion, where our friends serve. We delivered fifty armored vehicles, a dozen radio stations, and next week we will deliver more.
Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters": "When my old friend Dmytro Top wrote about his desire to send a UAV and a tablet, nothing foreshadowed a threat. We've known each other for a long time, he's been sending us a lot of stuff since 2014, even drinking beer together in New York (hint hint). When he wrote that the shipment was on its way, I
We're trying not to be too distracted by reading the news right now, we have a different task - to help the right guys make the right news. Over the next two weeks, we will provide 2750 of the right guys with body armor, they will go do their right job, and then there will be the right news. It's much cooler than discussing the next negotiation on
Yesterday in the comments we noticed a misunderstanding of readers about the anti-rebound. The photo shows a plate that has been shot off. And if you look closely, you can see how small fragments after hitting the plate began to diverge in a circle. If there is no "catcher", then the chin, jaw, and cheeks are affected. Draw your own conclusions. Yes, the second photo shows the same plate, the inside. 7,62*39/50
Yuriy Biryukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters": "There will be no heroic photos, sorry, not from my part - we feed those who dispose of Russians. And this is where I have something to tell, about my own, behind-the-scenes experience. Because it was like at the very beginning, especially if we are talking about Kyiv. People's impulse, patriotic business, restaurants
We bought 1,000 brand-new Kevlar helmets in a good configuration, the payment was made and the factory received all the documents. Our job was to find and organize the logistics. It was a painstaking task, but not the most important part of the task. The main task was realized by YOU. Those who transferred 10 hryvnias or 200 zlotys, 50 dollars or 100 pounds. Here are all of you
Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters": "A deputy mayor's best friend is a weather forecast! You see, I have a little bit of experience. And when I am asked for "lightweight boots made of young lamb's skin, soaked in virgin's milk under the full moon", I send such a soldier to a Russian ship. Or when I am asked for a "tactical summary
Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters": "When you plan to spend almost 10 million hryvnias in the morning... 10,000,000 (it's more beautiful with zeros), the morning coffee is even tastier somehow. So, today we are paying for the purchase of 1000 helmets! Yay! Yay! Yesterday, the bank checked the contract and all the invoices and gave the go-ahead
We love to help special people from special units to the point of nervous hiccups. And I mean that without any sarcasm. We know them personally, we know their efficiency, we understand where and what they do. And so... we pay for it. But from the classical point of view of classical volunteer work, it is, of course, a real chore and horror. What
