❕On our main channel we have announced a “mega-donation event” It will certainly take a lot longer than 30 minutes (as we usually gather needed funds in such short time period), but this time we expect it to be an astonishing contribution from everyone involved!…
3 out of 4 initial receivers, that we were gathering donations for, have received them.
Now all that’s left is to send the rest to Hospitallers, they will issue us an invoice tomorrow and we will immediately publish a report as soon as we send it off.
We’re still a little stunned that we were able to collect the designated amount.
By the way, while we were considering where to transfer that extra 100,000 UAH that we were sent, you sent us another ₴19,000! 🫶🏻
Next we will be thinking where to send those as well.

How do the “eyes of artillery”, UAV pilots, work in the command of the Airborne Assault Forces told by intelligence officer Olga from the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade:
The brown-eyed girl began her career in the army from a civilian position in a military unit. And now she is a scout, flying a drone.
Olga has terabytes of captured footage of the enemy positions, ambushes, the location of equipment and personnel of the enemy army.
"From childhood, I have been taught to complete any task with excellent results. And, perhaps, the fact that some consider that a woman in the army “is not needed” played their role too. I want to prove the opposite. There is a certain assignment to position and tasks on it, there are corresponding requirements and it doesn’t matter what gender you are — you are either a specialist or not,” says Olga.

“I have accepted the death. Why am I not afraid to die in this war?
These days I talk a lot about death. I mean, about dying in a war. I mean, about such possibility. Probability. And, finally, readiness. Such acceptation calms down. Moreover – it makes you braver, stronger and more steady. Not everyone is ready for that. Not everyone needs it. And not everyone must.
But it gives freedom. You accept – you calm down. If you talked it through in your mind, negotiated with your fears – then you become free. Strong and steady.
In the beginning there was the first night of the war. I have accepted a possibility of death as a probability. Then I thought a lot about it, but somehow chased away those thoughts. But every single day I visited the page of Sasha Makhov. I knew where he was. And I was delighted every time I saw any post of him. It was a blessing. I was guided by his life.
And then everything ended abruptly. And I have completely accepted the death on this war like “almost inevitable”. Ok, so, this is how it will be. Or not. And if it will – there's nothing frightening about that. There's something nice about that even. As strange as that sounds.
Globally I am not afraid anymore for a long time. And it is perceived as a matter of time. And, partly, as a matter of conscience. There will be enough of this war for everyone. But I'm not ready to retreat. So, this is how it’s going to be.
Anyone among my mates (beloved, relatives, comrades-in-arms) almost never touches this topic. Totemic, frightening. To ward it off. Not to jinx it. But I do. And everybody is like: you are not going to die.
Ok. I am not going to die. Let it be so. Or not so.
But I finally felt free. And strong. And balanced.”

❕The Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs has stated that russia is trying to incite the anti-Ukrainian position in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Also, the enemy seeks to use our success in mobilizing the world against Ukraine to weaken its support when it’s most crucial.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, returned from the International Economic Forum in Davos after having dozens of meetings with the presidents and prime ministers. The Ukrainian minister says that today, russia is dispersing four narratives against our state and urges to actively oppose them, in particular on social networks.

The United States will not impose its will on Kyiv on the issue of concessions to Moscow, but will continue to strengthen the military potential of Ukraine, said President Joe Biden.
"This is their territory, and I'm not going to tell them what they should or should not do with it," Biden said, answering a question from journalists whether, in his opinion, Ukraine should make territorial concessions to Russia in order to reach a peace agreement.
At the same time, the head of the White House expressed the hope that "sooner or later" the conflict in Ukraine will be crowned with the achievement of peace agreements. He stressed that he did not know when and under what circumstances this could happen.

Switzerland allowed Germany to transfer Leopard tanks, - Tagesanzeiger It is noted that the confederation returned 42 of these Leopard 2 A4 tanks to the manufacturer Rheinmetall in 2010 and 2011. Now Germany "can freely decide on the future of these machines."
The Swiss government did not allow Germany and Denmark to transfer Piranha III armored personnel carriers and Swiss-made ammunition for Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to Ukraine.
