Equipment for Ukrainian soldiers.

In the first year of the full-scale war we took to the front whatever was asked for. Body armor, plates and plate carriers came in several batches from the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. Atropine - for soldiers in the east, in case of a chemical attack. Sleeping bags and mats, fabric for camouflage nets, parcels for reconnaissance soldiers in the Donetsk region, motorized infantry in the Kharkiv region and border guards in the Sumy region.

We spent the longest time on Garmin satellite communicators. We tested and configured them for a long time and then handed them to National Guard air defense soldiers - to send coordinates where there is neither mobile nor radio communication. Later the soldiers told us how these little boxes save lives: a Garmin works via satellite and exchanges data in an instant, while an ordinary radio signal is detected by the enemy at once and targeted.

The firefighters of the Chornobyl Zone received new uniforms. They were sent through the Ukrainian diaspora by Mr. Kessler, a retired Canadian firefighter.

The following year we raised money for a vehicle for the 4th Rapid Response Brigade and handed over thermal sights from Andres Joala of Estonia. Then - for a pickup for the reconnaissance soldiers of the 134th Battalion of the 114th Brigade. They are our colleagues: they used to work in the Chornobyl Zone, and now they fight in the hardest spots in the east. Among those who joined the fundraiser, we raffled off the first collector's bottle of CHORNOBYL RAY.
