Did you all see what @BackAndAlive's Black Box fundraiser did? They raised 230 million UAH (6.4m USD) for Beaver drones to strike ru offensive military capabilities, that's what they did.

It's quality bavovna, and it's the most cost-effective way to save lives.
"This is Kolibri. He is a special forces officer of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine..."

"The 'Black Box' contains, most notably, the Ukrainian bombardment drone 'Beaver', which has a range of up to 800 km. And this is just one of the components of the 'Box'."
For $6.4 million in donations, we get $900 million USD in damage to russia's war machine, and so many lives and cities saved.

That's why military aid is so cost-effective. savelife.in.ua/en/materials/n…
More from the article:

"In the first 8 months of 2023, the Black Box caused more than $900 million in damage to the enemy, according to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. 'Beaver' successfully performed missions in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine..."
"...and at military facilities on enemy territory. For example, it hit an important enterprise of the enemy’s military-industrial complex – a plant for the production of electronics for missiles such as X-31, X-35 and X-59, which are launched from tactical aircraft."
"[It] also hit a storage facility where Russians stored missile parts for Iskander ballistic missile systems."

You can quantify damage to missile factories.

You can't fully quantify the lives it's saved to destroy the weapons of the aggressor.
Shouts out to @CorwinEternal for the quality visual. 😂

@CorwinEternal "Last year... Ukrainian society – citizens and businesses, including PLVision, EVA, Intellias, COMFY, Sombra, Uptech, MTI hi-tech distribution, Uklon, ELEKS, and others – joined the collection for the Black Box project."

Follow their lead. @BackAndAlive is in 🇺🇦's top tier.
Check out @EuromaidanPress's fine write-up on the project! 🔥🔥🔥

Nobody's more serious about saving Ukrainian lives than Ukrainians. These volunteer orgs are setting the bar. Let's help them, and let's take their cues.

This is clearly a top-notch, cost-effective way to help Ukraine.



And call your representatives to make sure they're serious about winning this too.savelife.in.ua/en/donate-en/

Supporting actual nazis is a death threat, period.

It is looking at a death machine that systematically killed 12 million civilians, including 6 million Jews (hence 6MWE) just for their identity or beliefs, and millions more in wars of choice, and say, "Let's try that again."
At least 1 out of every 33 people then on Earth died in WW2.

That's on the nazis and Stalinists who began it jointly in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, when they attacked Poland.

That's on the aggressors and those who could have stopped them but didn't.

I knew WW2 veterans who liberated death camps that fed into ones with chimneys pouring human ashes. Talking with them as a child meant blundering into unspeakable things.

Anyone who supports what put horror beyond words into their faces is a monster.

OH WAIT - GL deleted their video of their "arresting" a critic at gunpoint under martial law in Ukraine?? What happened, guys??
Screenshot of the deleted post. Did something happen??
Image
Here I was waiting for my close-up when GL flunkies were promising they or SBU or whatever authority would come for their critics.

I was looking forward to meeting the best people when we were all rounded up! Goddammit. That woulda been lit. 😂

"Tick tock tick tock" indeed.

@DI_Ukraine's statement: the "Georgian Legion" does not exist as a unit, is not in Ukraine's command struction, and is not to be confused with Georgian volunteers serving with various real units of ZSU, GUR, and TDF or the International Legion.

Mamuka's not fought since April 2023, and his "second in command" Reshytlo hasn't fought and has been stealing valor. This emphatically means that they cannot be what they represent themselves as for fundraising purposes. GL's refusal to account for the millions of dollars fundraised, its actual instigation of threats and harassment against whistleblowers inside and outside of Ukraine, has done evil to people who tirelessly sought to help real Ukrainian units and orgs, not this siphoning GL scam.

Many over at @Official_NAFO only thought they knew because they were told. Others were in a position to know and speak up about the aggressive harassment of volunteers, up to and including threats of rape and death. One cannot be a mute bystander to mass-incited harassment or defamation of dedicated Ukrainians and supporters who wanted funds and support for Ukraine to be properly directed, and then be "Official" to a decentralized movement.

Meanwhile, real Ukrainian units exist, top-notch and highly accoutable organizations like @BackAndAlive and @dzygaspaw show reports, @TPSpindel ad @potuzhnishyy and @LvivNightingale and @TheWarSanta and @RachelPAV have spoken truth about GL each in their way, and endured horrific slander for their bold stance. And I, I've seen my share for my advocacy to support Ukraine through its best orgs, which Georgian Legion's hardcore chose to see as vicious rivals and even russian fronts, while they themselves disappeared millions of dollars in donations. We're here for Ukraine, not fake Twitter celebrities.

Those who were in good faith and deceived by others, I for one do not begrudge you trying to help Ukraine as you understood how, but we have a responsibility to hear Ukrainians, to verify supporters, to make sure we are actually helping Ukraine as intended.

Those who chose grift and LARPing and defamation of all outside the club, coordinated attacks on Ukrainians and volunteers of all sorts: your malicious projection of your own sins onto others will not hide what you did. Ukraine doesn't need this, and we are not here to be your scapegoats.Image

A translation of the announcement follows, boldface emphasis added:

"‼️ Statement on false accusations of the Slovak Republic authorities against the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine

On January 31, 2025, during a press conference, officials of the Slovak Republic made accusations against the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine - allegedly, servicemen of the Georgian National Legion, “subordinate” to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, were involved in organizing protests in Slovakia in preparation for a coup d'état.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine carefully studied the accusations, because hybrid and information operations aimed at undermining the situation in European countries, sowing discord both within states and between European partners are an extremely serious threat to Ukraine, which, with the support of the civilized world, is heroically resisting russian armed aggression.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine officially reports that there is no unit called the Georgian National Legion in its structure.

As for the International Legion of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, it is a multinational active duty unit that is directly involved in battles with russian occupation forces in the hottest spots of the frontline and, of course, does not conduct any hybrid actions on the territory of the European Union.

As for the person mentioned at the press conference [Ed.: that would be the reported commander of the "Georgian Legion"], he is not a Ukrainian serviceman, has no relation to Ukrainian intelligence, and does not receive any tasks or instructions from the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. This person terminated his contract with the International Legion of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine in April 2023 and did not renew it.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine strongly rejects false accusations of organizing illegal actions in the Slovak Republic.

We emphasize that the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine is in constant contact and cooperation with colleagues from NATO countries, adheres to the principles of good faith cooperation and partnership, always works for the benefit of common security and overcoming the challenges posed to European countries by the full-scale war unleashed by russia, in particular the information component of russian aggression.

European politicians should be as responsible as possible for their words, especially for accusations against friendly countries, in order to avoid giving any grounds for hostile propaganda.

❗️ We note that it is russia that is constantly trying to sow discord between the countries of the Free World, discrediting European politicians, interfering in democratic elections, organizing street riots, and even committing political assassinations in Europe."Image

"I would like to see Maidan commemorated not in the annual cycle of fasting on the anniversaries of the beginning, storming, dispersal, and shooting, but rather in the efforts to punish those who organized and committed bloody crimes against peaceful protesters..."
🇺🇦🧵👇
"You can go to the courts in Maidan cases so that judges do not see empty indifferent halls and a bunch of urban crazies, but rather the public's demand for justice.

The schedule of courts is published weekly by the Advocates' Advisory Group on Facebook"
"There is still room to cover Maidan affairs and Maidan stories - I thank those who are doing so and encourage others to join.

If you are a journalist, blogger, podcaster, youtuber, your contribution will be valuable."

Check this out! Here's one of the finest efforts to take down russian drones over Ukraine out there:

"'DroneFall' by the numbers 🤓🔢

Our project is already 2.5 months old, or 79 days. Today we share with you our numbers and remind you what it's all about 🫶"
🇺🇦🧵👇
"During this period, we have provided 16 units with everything they need to effectively hunt down enemy UAVs: pickup trucks, interceptor drones and related equipment.

The total value of the aid we have provided so far is UAH 39,581,680 ($958,960 USD) ✅"
"The military has already converted this amount into 157 downed reconnaissance drones of various types worth the equivalent of ~405 million UAH 🔥"

[Ed.: That's $9,809,702 USD of downed ru drones! There's that sweet 10x cost-effectiveness again. 🔥🤟]

Treating Ukrainians lives as expendable is everything wrong with the world's response, and crap tourniquets are an insidious manifestation of that evil.

@sector_m14 did, in fact, point out russian connections to Dnipro TQs. Back to that after I translate Olga's thread: 🇺🇦🧵👇
"In comments on Instagram, Dmytro Kozyatynskyi, a military medical servicemember, shared his experience from the ground of the Dnipro TQs: his wounds were bleeding under them.

In response, the host of the Dnipro TQ manufacturer's YouTube attacked:"
Olga reports the host used such smears as:

”Hypocrite”, “schoolboy”, “storyteller”, “boy”, “joker”, ”stupid”, and also, "the military's comments were paid for".
