We are fundraising to provide Khartiia with critical transport vans. Logistics keeps the front moving. Please support the mission below. You can donate here: paypal.com/donate?campaig… Vehicles are a commodity. We've tracked vehicle losses in Ukraine for years, including light-skinned vehicles such as vans and pickup trucks. Those who follow us know and understand the attrition rates. The scale is immense. In the first 22 days of April alone, we tracked 931 losses in this category (cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans, combined). As our followers know, video analysis captures only a fraction of the total losses. While some of these vehicles are ultimately recovered and repaired, many are abandoned, stripped for parts, or destroyed. This is the reality of war. Support for Ukraine means funding and supplying these vehicles. Why Vans? Cargo In → Casualties Out Inbound: Vans protect sensitive cargo, such as electronics, from dust, mud, and rain. Outbound: Once goods are delivered, these vehicles provide a protected, enclosed space to evacuate the wounded for treatment. The Goal: $100,000 We are raising funds to purchase, repair, and prep vans for Khartiia and another secret special unit. The budget covers the purchase price, mud tires, spare parts, and technical preparation required for front-line deployment. This is the first fundraiser spearheaded by my data collection and mapping project, Ukraine Daily Update, in association with volunteers at Tochnyi. To ensure total transparency and professional logistics, we are partnering with Liberty Ukraine, which will handle the backend and 501(c)(3) status. We know our audience understands the scale of this need. We hope those who are able will donate to help us get these vans to the front as promptly as possible. The fundraiser page is here, with alternative ways to donate: libertyukraine.org/from-screens-t…

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Secretary of the Army Driscoll: "Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture, C2 system is absolutely incredible. It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not." Wow, if only Ukraine was offering the United States some sort of deal that would facilitate the sharing of this technology.






Mariupol, pomeriggio del 6 maggio. Camion militare parcheggiato tra i condomini in cerca di protezione.

An important step in relations with Hungary – today, the funds and valuables of Oschadbank that were seized by Hungarian special services in March of this year were returned. At the time, the Hungarian side unlawfully detained Ukrainian cash-in-transit officers. We brought our people back sooner, and now both the funds and the valuables are back on Ukrainian territory in full. I am grateful to Hungary for its constructive approach and civilized step. I thank everyone on Ukraine’s team who fought for a fair decision and defended the interests of our state and our people. Glory to Ukraine!

Una donna fuggita da Mariupol mostra le foto delle fosse dove sorgevano condomini nel suo quartiere, e descrive un quadro desolante. Leggete la testimonianza, che si conclude con la scoperta di essere misteriosamente passata dal numero 400 a 1516 per un alloggio compensativo.

Ukraine’s mid-range strike operations are becoming faster, broader, and more systematic. @HartreeFock and our researchers analyse the expanding aerial campaign against Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories and Russian border regions. tochnyi.info/2026/04/contro…
