I’d like to update you on the success of Ukraine’s military units, particularly the 22nd Mechanized Brigade. Despite initial doubts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have made significant gains, and a key factor has been the support from donations from individuals like you. Ukraine Matters War Hog Defense and Combat Vet Reacts have been instrumental in raising funds for non-lethal aid, including drones, batteries, and other essential equipment.

The 22nd Mechanized Brigade, leading the charge in the Kursk region, has received an astonishing amount of support, exceeding their initial target goal of $50,000. The original fundraiser was joined by several creators, expanding the scope to include other units in the Kursk region. Donations have poured in, resulting in an “absolutely eye-popping” amount of money, enabling the delivery of essential equipment, including FPV drones, lithium-ion batteries, and more.

As we receive updates on the battlefield, it’s clear that these donations have made a tangible impact. For instance, a recent shipment to the 13th Battalion included a massive amount of equipment, including drones, batteries, and other vital supplies. The response from the units is overwhelming, with some even reporting a “ton” of new gear.

The varying degrees of success are evident, with some units receiving new equipment, while others are already using the supplies to make a difference. The embedded journalist, Combat Vet Reacts, shares his insights, pointing out that even if an FPV drone is jammed, it’s not necessarily a loss, as the soldiers know to fall back and regroup. The sheer volume of supplies has been a game-changer, with units now equipped to take the fight to the Russians.

As we continue to support these efforts, it’s worth reflecting on the remarkable fact that, despite the ever-changing news cycle, you, the donors, have remained committed to the cause. Your contributions have made a tangible difference, and we’re grateful for that. The fundraiser is still open, with more supplies on the way, so please consider supporting the units fighting in the Kursk region.
