During our November-December mission in Ukraine the military units, humanitarian aid organisations and Ukrainian Volunteer Hubs we work with identified the following critical needs which urgently need your support. For much of 2022 Ukraine was in the deficit position of having to respond to Russian attacks and do so without sufficient resources. Since recovering more than 800 settlements, Ukraine is now positioned to better resource. However, constant attacks on critical infrastructure and the recovery of more settlements from Russian occupation creates new and pressing needs. We need your help in ensuring we have the resources on-hand to respond appropriately and provide our women and men fighting for Ukraine and Europe’s defense & security all they need as well as the civilian organisations too.
Tactical Vehicles
Russian T-90 tanks cost approximately $1,200,000 to manufacture meaning our investment in a Mitsubishi L200 at approximately $5,000 per vehicle means a 240% return on investment for each vehicle we furnish this unit. The only thing keeping this unit from fielding more experienced tank-killer units is a lack of vehicles.
We are urgently appealing for funding for 10-Mitsubishi L200 vehicles to put onto the battlefield as quickly as possible. There are few donations we could make that would help bring this war to a decisive victory for Ukraine than to eviscerate Russia’s armour capabilities.
Need: $50,000 ($5,000 per vehicle / average)

Bandera Power-180 Powerbank Units
On today’s battlefield the need for constant power for radios, drone controllers and monitors, lights, phones and other advanced tools can make the difference between life and death and victory or defeat. Combat troops and medics need reliable power banks to ensure their equipment is fully operational at all times, especially considering Russia’s attacks on a power-grid that is now unreliable.
We are currently fundraising for 10 Bandera Power-180 Powerbanks for a frontline brigade that provides defense & security along a long frontline corridor essential for Ukraine. These units are specifically designed for the Ground Forces of Ukraine and produced in Vinnytsia which helps the Ukrainian economy and keeps our supply-chain secure.

Mobile Dental Clinic
Be it troops on the frontlines or civilians in settlements on-or-near the contact line dental care is nearly non-existent. During Russian occupation dental clinics and hospitals were stripped of their equipment. Even if dentists wanted to remain they would have nowhere to practice in safe, sanitary conditions.
We are currently fundraising for a mobile dental clinic to ensure that the brave women and men serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civilians in need of care in liberated settlements and near the contact line have access to basic dental care.

Hardened/Armoured Evacuation Vehicles
To avoid losing personnel and vehicles during the evacuations from the contact line there is a pressing need for hardened vehicles that can remove the wounded and medics to transfer points behind the line. There are several such vehicles available in Europe.
Need: $24,300 per vehicle

Vehicle Repair Fund
We’ve all seen appeals for military units to purchase vehicles. The tiem from the appeal to purchase and delivery of the vehicle onto the frontlines can takes many weeks. Unfortunately, vehicles breakdown, are damaged or badly hit by enemy fire requiring repairs as simple as tire replacement to changing-out an engine. This requires the units to go without vehicles for long periods and because of the lack of towing services it often results in the end-of-life of an otherwise repairable vehicle.
We are currently appealing for vital funds to help units requiring repairs to make them in a timely and cost-effective manner and this requires your urgent support.
