Together We Successfully Funded a Drone Countermeasures System

Thanks to the incredible support from our community and all the caring Ukrainians, we managed to raise a total of 64,219 UAH in just nine days for the purchase of a drone countermeasure system—DEDROn rifle—for the 208th Separate Territorial Defense Battalion, specifically for the fire support company defending our land in the Kupiansk direction. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to volunteer Yuliya Panina, who led this fundraising effort, as well as to the entire Ivankiv community, as many people supported this initiative.

Notably, local lyceum staff, parents, and children organized a campaign on Knowledge Day called “Donate to the Armed Forces Instead of Buying Flowers,” which helped raise a significant amount:

2-B of Ivankiv Lyceum — 4,250 UAH
Shpylyv Lyceum — 1,100 UAH
1-B of Ivankiv Lyceum No. 1 — 3,000 UAH
Ivankiv Lyceum — 6,980 UAH

Other generous donors also contributed, with numerous small donations as well as substantial contributions of two, five, and even ten thousand hryvnas.

We extend our special thanks to the organizers of the charity fair—Olena Pravdova, Yuliya Panina, and Serhii Kostin. Through the sale of various handmade items and treats, we raised an additional 15,100 UAH.

Thanks to our collective efforts, our defenders will receive critical equipment to beat enemy drones!
