Catching up on what we’re up to…

It’s our first post here since the war had started. All these time we were collecting donations from our friends and colleges. Thank you all who donated. We raised over $4,800. We were also in constant contact with our friends at front line and with local volunteers. I’m happy to report that the first container is about to be shipped. We have ordered the following items: Tourniquets Celox First Aid Kits Tactical Vests Chest Rigs Radios Military Boots Night Vision Monocular Camouflage Jacket Besides ordering all of the above, we have also deposited $1,200 to soldiers bank accounts. You might be wondering why soldiers need cash. It depends. Some of our friends need just spare cash to buy food and cigarets. Others need to buy a gas to do their job. The demand is so big that some times they use their own money to get what they need. Plus the prices had sky rocketed. In the following posts we are going to publish pictures of the items we’ve purchased with description along with updates on shipping and other activity. Slava...

Donations Went Down but We Still Delivering

The war calmed down in Easter Ukraine for the past few months. People seem to be take this for granted and assume that this is the end of the war. But it’s too early to think this way. Ukrainian army faces Russia-backed Sabotage and Reconnaissance Groups every day. And every day Ukrainian soldiers get wounded or killed. Besides that, reconnaissance data confirms gathering of heavy weapons and military equipment close to the border on “LNR” and “DNR” side. Donations went down obviously but we still deliver packages to help Ukrainian Army to protect their territory and be ready to prevent another round of aggression. With this package we delivered the following items: – 1 Baofeng UV-5R Plus radio – 1 car video recorder – 20 packs of oatmeal – 3 boxes of soups – one pack of spices – one box of sunflower oil – 1 box of candies (5 kilos) – 1 box of toilet paper Big thank you to Igor J for financial...

“Marusin Military Ground” – Training camp of “Right Sektor”

This video shows the military ground of 11th territorial defense battalion of Ukraine. Our organization is helping this battalion since December 2014. Below the video you can read its transcript. To find out what exactly you can learn at the military training the crew of “The Sekryetnye Materialy” “Secret Footage” decided to participate in an experiment and sign up as volunteers for such training. Here at the Marusin military ground volunteers are willing to teach anyone who would like to be useful to their country. Combat training instructor goes by “Hobgoblin” “Here at the Marusin military ground we teach the civilians the elementary use of arms.” Graduates of this type of training state that several days of such practice are significantly more valuable than a month of training at the Ministry of Defense military grounds. Today in our schedule there are lessons on the combat tactics, medical training, obstacle course, and tactical marksmanship. Right after the formation we are not wasting any time and jump straight into learning the tactics of combat. First we are getting instructed on change of combat positions. The instructor “If there is an order “On the right” for example. We don’t get up, we take AK then we roll back onto our left shoulder, keeping our legs spread on the ground with the right leg on top for better stability and to avoid involuntary rocking, then we point our weapon to the right. It is important not to lift your right knee like so, as it gets exposed.” Then we get our first combat assignment – we work as a group. Instructor “Contact to the...
