Reinforcing Our Position
Dear Fighting Chance Ukraine Supporter:
The collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam is a catastrophic reminder of the stakes surrounding the ongoing war in Ukraine. Clear and strong evidence points to this being a terrorist attack by Russia, with genocidal and ecocidal implications. Regardless of whatever final determination of cause is made, it's clear that Russia's continued aggression in and around Ukraine will directly and indirectly impact millions of people for generations to come.
In this context, we continue our mission of supporting Ukrainian civilian volunteers and Territorial Defense Forces and we want to thank those who have already donated to our shared cause.
Here's what your support is accomplishing:
Here's an update from Dream Ukraine's very effective drone pilot training program. You can watch the short video here. We've supported this initiative and would like to send additional funds to purchase course materials for students who will apply the skills they learn where it matters.
Having shipped non-lethal equipment and supplies to Ukrainians in need over the past year, during the last several months we've focused on supporting innovative technologies being developed organically to meet real and urgent needs.
FCU has been receiving regular updates on our demining robot initiative. We were introduced to this program by our courier in Ukraine and it shows much promise. From Dymetro, the lead designer on the project: "The manipulator arm is ready and next are tests, tests, tests, bug-fixing, and more tests. We need parts, a laser cutter, and other materials..."
Remote-controlled aerial and ground systems will continue to have major impacts in Ukraine but we cannot forget the need for more basic materials to support those in harm's way. FCU is planning a new shipment of Individual First Aid Kits as the Ukrainian offensive begins making major impacts.
Now is the time to keep faith with civilian volunteers and members of the Territorial Defense Forces
They are giving their all to protect their homes and defend democracy. We will continue our efforts through donations by Americans from coast to coast and from all walks of life.
Your help is truly making a difference. We hope you can continue your contributions and will encourage your friends and colleagues to join you. Feel free to share this link to spread the word on our campaign and ask your friends and family to donate generously to FCU. Together, through our donations, we are giving Ukraine a fighting chance.
Please let us know if we can provide additional information or if you have any specific questions.
Stay safe,
Jerry
