Call for donations!

We need to get these guys a decent binocular for night missions.
It’s Ukrainian SOF unit.

We need one DTNVS ECHO+ 2000+ FOM WP for them.

PayPal d1mnewz@gmail.com

🧵 on why do they need it now, and how much it costs: Image
These guys are real pros, and we do have direct connection to them.

They were doing the work near Kyiv recently, so partly they were the ones who liberated Kyiv satellites - Irpin, Bucha, Borodianka.

They are lacking one device to do their work. Image
It’s a game changer and Russians definitely do not have it.

We were able to get a quotation for it. My friend sources these things in CZ.

The device costs 12 000 EUR.
We have already found 7 000 EUR.

If you know where to get it cheaper in EU, please let me know. Image
SOF unit will be moving from Kyiv to the East since Kyiv area does not have enough work for them already.

But Russians are regrouping and will try to push East of Ukraine. We need to be prepared. Image
This particular device will make missions to neutralize Russian artillerists at night much easier as SOF will spot them quicker.

Once you see them, next step is to neutralize. SOF has decent weapons for it. We have delivered get them equipment before. Like that riflescope. Image
That equipment costs. Costs a lot. Hard to find.

But makes a huge difference in the combat. May the military analysts following me confirm this but that’s what my folks are telling me. Image
Happy end of that story :)

Everything was sent to the frontline a while ago, and my folks made great use of that!

Day 1000. My life changed drastically since day 1.

Everyone said Ukraine will fall in 3 days. Not a single person believed in us, but we fought fiercely in 2022, against all odds, and we won the battle of Kyiv.

My thoughts on 1000 days, as a soldier of Ukrainian Army now🧵 Image
My life changed a ton. From peaceful life of IT guy earning a fortune, traveling through the world and enjoying life with my girlfriend... To a soldier wearin uniform.

I give my everything to protect my dear ones in Ukraine and to protect the greatest value of my life - Freedom. Image
Image
I also grew as a person in those 1000 days of tears, death, wounds, sacrifice, faith and love. It was a tough transformation in the time of challenges. But worth it.

I became responsible for my own actions, my family, my nation and our own planet Earth. Image

I turn 26 years young today.

In the times of flames, I get to make the toughest decisions a man ever has to make. I stay fun and positive because I know - fire refines iron.

Reflections on having my first birthday in the Army and congratz thread here 🧵 Image
This year, I proposed to my girlfriend Ira, and as you see in the picture, we got perfectly married.

The war acts as a catalyst for every decision.

Love, in times of war, finds a way to bloom the strongest. It motivates me a lot to defend our future. Image
To defend our future, also this year, I decided to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The reasoning is simple - I want to defend our Freedom - for myself, my dear ones, those who can't defend it themselves, and for our nation.

Even if that implies putting my life on the line. Image

I do not recommend donating to the Georgian Legion.

🚩 Zero financial transparency on where the donations went
🚩 Blocking those who ask questions
🚩 Threatening lives of pro-UA community

GL had enough time to make things right, but they chose not to. 🧵 Image
Let's draw a clear line between real Georgian fighters in Ukraine and the @georgian_legion account. I am for Ukraine, but I think this profile hurts Ukraine.

They amassed significant donations funneled into a personal PayPal of Taras Reshetylo who manages that Twitter account.
It's OK to gather donations to put them to good use for Ukraine. That's what we believed the GL account did, but recently, it became obvious that they gathered hundreds of thousands of dollars and clearly didn't show any details on how the funds were spent.

I just finished my basic training course in the Ukrainian Army!

That was an adventure, however it prepared me for the real fight against r*ssian invasion.

This is how Ukraine trains its soldiers 🧵 Image
We lived in tents in an undisclosed location, deep in the forests. Before arriving there, we were issued tons of different gear, sleeping bags and body armor. The quality was OK, but the size didn't always fit well for everyone.

I bought myself a cheap platecarrier that fit me. Image
The training was very intensive, packed into 35 days.

I learned a lot about international law, military laws, and hierarchy, and then we moved onto practical classes in the field - how to handle a weapon, how to treat wounded, movement, formations, tactics, booby traps, etc. Image

🚨 Kursk offensive breakthrough: Day 1.

This is how the units we support made it - the very initial breakthrough. Russians surrendered to them en masse.

This thread will help you understand why Ukraine won the battle of Kursk border. You can support the units directly.

🧵
Fortifications of russian forces were destroyed, they surrendered.

We had those videos immediately, but waited for opsec - so that brigade posted it first.

We work daily with this unit, and they need more drones to keep pushing - donate at dzygaspaw.com/support
Ukraine took a lot of prisoners in the first day. Russians clearly were caught by surprise by this coordinated UAV and mechanized assault.

🚨 KURSK OFFENSIVE UPDATE 🚨

We just returned from Sudzha, Kursk region. We delivered more than $30K worth of high tech equipment to support the 🇺🇦 brigades fighting there.

I have some insights to share now.

🧵 Image
I didn’t post earlier due to OPSEC.

I sent my team to Sudzha and on 13th Aug they were already there, literally the first civilians to enter the area to assist.

I didn’t go myself as I am departing to my military service today and wanted some family days. Image
We ran a fundraiser for the units we support in the area and raised $24.580. This is outstanding.

Delivered all they needed - worth of $33.562 total.

This is a great example how crowdfunding could make a difference for them, especially given they need more night vision drones.
