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. 🧵 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.

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 🧵 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.

🚨 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

🚨 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.

🧵 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.

I was just declared fit for military service for Ukraine!

I decided to join Ukraine's Army in combat role, and I went through the same process as everyone else in the country. Got my departure date already!

Here is my experience of how joining the fight looks like right now 🧵 Way back in January 2023, I already made a thread on why I was not fighting—tldr—I was not called up and felt like I was making more impact with the multimillion $ charity.

I still didn't get called up, but I managed to help my wife take over the charity so I could fight.

Ukraine does not have enough electricity. How bad is it?

Here is how I made tea for us at home in Lviv a few days ago.

It got me thinking and researching, and in this thread, I will share my personal and rational findings.

🧵 I first dug into numbers. I measure everything in numbers.

At our place in Lviv, we have electricity for about 12 hours out of 24. The electricity is served in turns for different parts of the city, and there is a schedule that works and is available for everyone to see.

I just got married. What's next?

Our marriage is an act of Free Will, we love Freedom - including freedom to be together.

R*ssia challenges our Freedom, so I will take up arms to defend Ukraine's Freedom.

I am about to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine.🧵 As much as I love my now wife, I want her, our dog Dzyga and our loved ones to live in free and safe Ukraine.

That's why I am joining the Army to defend Ukrainians against r*ssian invasion. I don't want my city to become the next Bucha, so I will do my best to kick r*ssians out.

Russia is investing BILLIONS into disinformation campaigns.

Let's discover this one absolutely VILE example I have seen recently in replies to Ukraine's First Lady, Olena Zelenska.

a 🧵: In the first tweet, I put Olena's very neutral post on her visiting some park in Serbia, nothing really offensive or provocative. However, she is always the target for the most VILE and weird conspiracy theories by russian bots.

I just came back from the East of Ukraine, delivering $50,000+ worth of high-tech equipment to the Ukrainian Heroes holding the line against Russian invasion.

That was crazy.

Read this thread for the emotions and numbers. 🧵 The roads in Ukraine, despite the war, are great. It's a long drive from our HQ in Lviv, about 1000kms to Zaporizhya front. It's a pleasure to drive there.

We meet the units along the way, and it's really like a good family adventure trip for me and my fiancee @ippvch!

🚨 JUST NOW: 🇺🇸 US citizen & Patriot Russel Bentley was kidnapped, raped, humiliated and then killed by Russian Forces in Donetsk.

This raises a lot of concerns as Russia does not hold any authority over US citizens. Russia can't just kill AMERICAN PATRIOTS!!! 🚨

The story 🧵 Russel was a very bright person. We will always remember him as drug dealer, communist and convicted felon.

He moved to Donbas to fight for Russia against Ukraine, called that "Fact Finding Mission to Donbass".

In the end, he found out some facts and this turned unfortunate.

This is Belgorod city council, russian frontline city.

Today, it was hit with pro-Ukrainian drones, allegedly inviting all russian citizens to vote for Putin on the elections this weekend.

My🧵on Russian opposition, Liberty of Russia Legion invading Russia prior to the election I would like to start with what is Russian opposition and why it won't work.

See, here is Yulia Navalnaya who inherited political influence of her killed husband Alexey.

Since Alexey died, she issued a statement talking to Russian population.

Russians can also use Starlink now?! WHAT?!

I am Ukrainian who delivered hundreds of Starlinks to Ukrainian Army, and I know this topic well.

Russians now use Starlinks for their warfare against Ukraine. Elon Musk understands this.

A 🧵explaining the Starlink saga (again) ^ in the original picture, I am preparing another 24 Starlinks to depart to Ukrainian Armed Forces from my charity @dzygaspaw. We find high-tech that Ukrainian Heroes can use.

Zelenskyy replaced Zaluzhny tonight, and put Syrsky in charge.

I am Ukrainian, and I am very confused by all the doom in Western analytics.

I don't see any doom here. Nothing really is going to change in the war, unfortunately.

Here is what I think 🧵 Zaluzhny is a great general. He did a lot of tough decisions, and we love him for making an enormous contribution to saving Ukraine.

He is a Hero who controlled thousand kilometers of frontline - at land and in air, in water and even political front.

For TWO years. That's big.

You think Ukraine needs peace talks and cede territory?

As Ukrainian, I deeply disagree and in this thread I am going to tell you why this won't work.

Take a look at these fellow Russian soldiers without identification symbols taking over Crimea in 2014.

They are the reason 🧵 In 2014, Russian forces used military force to take over Crimea and Donbas, but they actively denied their involvement in the violent take over.

Russians blamed it all on local protesters angry at Ukrainian "regime".

This is Ukrainian Air Defense over Kyiv.

Kyiv, a beatiful city of over 3 million population, with countless kids and teenagers growing up there as everywhere else in the world.

Let's think of Ukraine's teenagers' perspective in this thread 🧵 I personally met the war 10 years ago in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea and Donbas through hybrid warfare and Ukraine faced heavy battles against them.

I was purely a teenager understanding nothing about geopolitics and how it works. I only understood that Russia invaded us.

This is one of the darkest moments for me in the war against Russia.

I just returned from visiting many our friends fighting in Donetsk region, and we had long discussions on the war, and geopolitics around it.

Authentic thoughts from Ukraine's frontlines, noted in this 🧵 I will kick it off with the fact that many Ukrainian military actually closely follow the news in the world, and know how it affects them.

Specifically, they follow border blocade and confirm they have volunteer military aid stuck in there.

I am shocked! You folks are still around and still support Ukraine!

Yesterday night, I have been trying to wrap my head around why. Here are the authentic thoughts from Ukraine 🧵

TLDR: I am in awe of Ukraine's military supporters, but I question humanitarian policies.

Read. Each month, we at @dzygaspaw, analyze the data on donations and expenses. Only in September, we received ~170.000$ in donations and spent every penny and more.

This is HUGE if you recall me in April 2022 - on my personal initiative to support my friends defending Ukraine.

I just watched one documentary on Ukrainian humanitarian mission in Georgia in 1993. I did some research!

Back then, Ukrainian Air Force saved lives of 7000+ civilian Georgians running from Russia bombing their cities.

Familiar, isn’t it?

A thread 🧵 In 1993, Russia fueled the war against Georgia, sent “peacekeepers” to raid cities, and bombed some Georgian cities with planes.

The civilians in there were trapped, and tried to find refuge in the mountains where russian planes could not reach them.

I think, transparency is the key in running a charity.

I have learnt this in the recent 556 days since the first time I received a donation.

A thread on transparency in Ukraine charities and @dzygaspaw in particular 🧵 The morality is crystal clear. When donating to charities, I consider:

🔍 Are they legit? Registered? Transparent about funds?
👥 How do they help? Efficient and effective methods?

We went into more detail on that here -

But the transparency! 🧵dzygaspaw.com/how-to-choose-…

Putin is a pedophile!

This is serious. This thread has the evidence. Putin is a pedo, and he is not even trying to hide it.

RT this and reply - Russians would hate to see the truth.

Exposing Vladimir Putin as homo pedo guy in this 🧵 I will start with the most famous one - the video when Putin in 2006 kisses young boy’s belly for no reason.

President Putin was slightly tipsy going through the Kremlin square. He has seen the smallest kid and went straight to him, lifted his shirt and kissed him in the belly.

War must come to Russia - en masse.

I think, one of the key elements to finishing this war is bringing it deep inside Russia.

Also, I think, it would be fair for an average Moscow citizen to taste what they are pushing or ignoring in their foreign policy.

Thoughts from 🇺🇦 - 🧵 For more than 500 days, Russia terrorizes Ukraine, occupies cities, creates mass graves, tortures and rapes Ukrainians.

Moreover, Russia launches suicide drones and their top-notch ballistic missiles onto Ukrainian peaceful cities. The whole war is in Ukraine, not in Russia.
