Today, the world celebrates #Halloween🎃 (except🇷🇺, where, like all good things, this holiday has been canceled). People dress up in costumes, and go trick-or-treating, while pretending they’re afraid of some scary monsters. This year,🇺🇦has its own kind of trick-or-treat👇🏽
Instead of candies, children and adults are raising funds to fight the real-life monsters, who invade our homeland.
We ask you to join us: while giving out candy and spare change to kids, also consider a donation towards drones for our military, or even send in your own device.
Sharing this tweet with the #DonateOrDronate hashtag also helps!
Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are now fighting actual villains: u24.gov.ua/dronation
Happy Halloween!

Did you know that @StationCDRKelly is not only a #NASA record-holder and a #USNavy captain, but also a former medic? That’s one of the reasons he supports 🇺🇦medical workers.
Here's what the Rocket Man said himself👇🏽 #united24
"In my youth, I worked in emergency medical care as an EMT and ambulance driver and saw with my own eyes how timely medical assistance can save people's lives. Later, as an astronaut, I always performed the role of medical officer in space so medical care is important to me."
"Ukrainian doctors and medical personnel today are real heroes, performing miracles daily and in unbelievably challenging and dangerous conditions. I consider it my duty to support Ukraine as they defend democracy against Russian aggression."
We've got cosmic news for you💫:
👨🚀 @StationCDRKelly, became a #united24 ambassador, presenting🇺🇦with a gift!
Scott Kelly is famous not only for 4 space flights and for setting 2 records, but also for trolling at least 2 kremlin propagandists into oblivion on #Twitter😏 #Space
Scott also has a medical background: he will promote the Medical Aid direction and raise funds for C-class ambulances.
The astronaut has discussed his ideas for supporting🇺🇦during an online meeting with @ZelenskyyUa
To make the fundraiser more interesting, Kelly announced he will be presenting the first ambulance himself, right during the Zoom call.
Welcome to the team, Rocket Man!
We told you we’ve got a cosmic ambassador, didn’t we?
What is Armtrac 400 capable of?🤔
Here are some facts and numbers about the largest and most efficient demining vehicle in its class, which was purchased thanks to your donations via #united24 👇🏽
✅ Armtrac's 3-meter hydraulic rotor allows for the clearing of over 2400 m2 of territory per hour, and neutralizing explosive remnants at a depth of 55 cm.
✅ Its durable construction protects the vehicle against anti-tank mines weighing up to 10 kg.
✅ Operated remotely from up to 800 meters away, ensuring the complete safety of the operator.
✅The cost of the acquired Armtrac 400 is 18,167,723 UAH.
The 1st Armtrac 400 is in Ukraine!
Thanks to your donations, the world's largest and most effective demining vehicle was purchased over the summer. Today, it started working.
Ukrainian bomb technicians learned how to drive the powerful machine from British instructors. #united24
Armtrac 400 traveled across🇺🇦to the liberated Kharkiv region. At a presentation, operators showed the process of detecting and defusing mines, by grinding them with Armtrac's rotor. They also showed projectiles removed by deminers and carried out a demo detonation of a projectile
According to representatives of the @dsszzi, bomb technicians defuse between 1,000 to 1,500 munitions every day. The new demining vehicle will help to do this faster, better and, most importantly, with less risk to life.
We’ve made another 1000 bracelets from the last pre-war batch of #Azovstal plant💪🏽They are inscribed with "I BELIEVE IN THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE," specially for #DefendersDay. 100 of them are personally signed by the Commander-in-Chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi @CinC_AFU, himself.
We will give 80 autographed bracelets to the first participants who donate 100,000+ UAH. The other 20 bracelets with the signature of the Commander-in-Chief, as well as the other 900 without it, will be raffled off among all participants.
Today🇷🇺launched 84 missiles and 24 kamikaze drones on🇺🇦. The enemy is taking its own weakness on the frontline, and turning it into spiteful revenge towards peaceful people.
This is a list of targets that🇷🇺"high-precision" weapons have hit in Kyiv alone👇🏽 #UkraineUnderAttaсk
A philharmonic orchestra
A museum
A footbridge
A playground in the park
A monument
A university
A business center #russiaisaterrorisstate
We'd like to say that no rockets or shelling will break the Ukrainians. They can take away our houses, but not our will for freedom.
We will defend🇺🇦. We will sing under shelling, as the people in Kyiv did today in the subway. We will fight until we win. #UkraineWillWin
