Many people don't really understand the size of the equipment Ukraine operates and why excavators are critical and what I am asking for your help with donating and sharing this message (donation link in the end) Here is an example of a PzH 2000 that was sent to me by a friend from a brigade we are helping with excavators. You can see the dugout that an excavator has built for it, and you can compare a person's size to the size of the machine to understand the labor that goes into saving these machines. Even with an excavator, it still takes days to construct. It's impossible to dig a position for it with a shovel. This howitzer costs tens of millions of dollars; you can help save it and its crew by donating 10 dollars Donation link:

Hello everyone. I have not fundraised for two months to give my followers a bit of a breather over the holidays. However, requests for aid keep piling up, and I cannot ignore Ukraine’s calls for help. Please share and like. I am starting a new fundraiser for more engineering equipment. Donation link at the end. As Ukraine shifts to heavier use of drones, both ground and aerial, more and more units realize they cannot simply stand in a field, and to operate effectively and safely, they cannot waste time digging positions with shovels. Instead of providing reconnaissance, evacuation, resupply, or defense with drones, crews are forced to spend their time digging frozen ground. This is a long and exhausting process, and without proper tools it is almost impossible to build safe positions to operate from. I did not want to publish this video. This UAV battalion recorded it in December and sent it to me asking for help. However, in the current media environment, I feel I have no choice but to publish it to draw attention to the fundraiser. We are raising funds to buy two excavators and two evacuation trucks. The total goal is $120,000. Every donation matters, whether it is $10 or $10,000. donation link:

Hello everyone, friends, followers, and supporters of Ukraine. Today I'm starting a new fundraiser for $120,000 to help Ukraine with engineering equipment, heavy trucks with cranes, and excavators. (Donation link at the end.) Please take a minute of your time to read and watch the video to understand why this is important. Also, please repost, like, and comment. Unfortunately, the situation on the front line is far from ideal. Our units are severely understaffed, and Russia continues slowly grinding us of the key reasons I focus on engineering equipment is because it's often an overlooked low-hanging fruit that helps solve manpower shortages, saves defenders' lives, and saves millions of dollars. To put it in numbers: 1️⃣ Building a proper bunker for an infantry platoon takes 2 weeks and 8 people without an excavator. With an excavator, it takes around 3 days and 3 people, effectively reducing toil 9 times. 2️⃣ Unloading a vehicle full of 6-meter logs for fortifications takes 6 people and 4 hours by hand. With a crane, it takes 2 people and less than an hour, reducing toil 24 times. I can't emphasize enough how important and helpful this equipment has been. It might not look exciting, but it's the backbone of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The more we can supply, the more lives we can save. Thank you for reading. I'm grateful that you made it to this point. Donation link🔗:

Dear friends, followers, and all who support Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do—today, together with Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 I am launching a crucial fundraiser to provide more engineering equipment to Ukraine. The donation link is at the end. Please watch the video till the end, as our soldier explains why it’s so important. One of the battalions from the 92nd Brigade urgently needs a manipulator crane truck and an excavator. They’re currently facing major challenges in excavating unexploded Russian bombs—right now, they are doing it by hand and loading them onto pickup trucks. This is not only extremely dangerous but also incredibly labor-intensive. They have a workshop (called Death Factory) that recycles these bombs, and the results are used by many other brigades beyond just the 92nd (please watch the video in the next tweet to learn more about their workshop). Their work is critical to many units. I’ve reached out to their commander and offered our help, help of the Twitter community that supports Ukraine. Together, we can fundraise and deliver the necessary equipment. Specifically, we aim to provide not only a crane truck but also an excavator to improve their excavation work. I believe the #NAFO, #OSINT, and the wider Ukrainian supporters community on Twitter are powerful enough to make this happen. Our goal is to fundraise for: 🏗️🚛2 Crane Trucks 🚜🚜2 5-Ton Excavators 🎯120,000$ Each set will cost around $60,000, (we will try to get two), including repairs and delivery to our workshop in Kharkiv. We have the experience and capability to deliver this critical equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. So I’m asking for your support—whether it’s through donations, retweets, comments, or likes. Every bit helps. Donation link: Thank you for standing with Ukraine!

Donations to this engineering equipment fundraiser have completely stopped, so I asked the members of the 92nd Assault Brigade to explain why this equipment is crucial for the infantry. Please watch the video with subtitles, commend, retweet and like. Donation link in the end. ➖ Infantry battalions rely on external units to build fortifications. ➖ This often leads to ineffective positions because engineering units don't always know exactly what the infantry battalions need. ➖ Allowing battalions to build their own fortifications independently means more lives saved. ➖ It not only saves lives but also helps solve manpower shortages.

A hero that would probably receive a medal of honor if he was an American. An absolute hero soldier defending against 4 russian invaders at point blank range, balls of steel. My friend shared this absolutely amazing video today with me. This is 5th National Guard Brigade fighting around Klishiivka. I hope he is alive and was rotated safely. I was told that today in this assault russians lost around 50 men in total.

Hello, I don't have many words left. Today is Christmas Eve, and I would deeply appreciate it if you could watch the video, repost, and make a small donation as a Christmas present to help a logistics and engineering unit from the 92nd Brigade. They are responsible for delivering ammunition, provisions, and construction materials to the assault battalions, artillery, and tanks. It's grueling, back-breaking work that they currently do manually because they lack a forklift. Someone donated an old, standard-issue forklift, but it keeps breaking down due to the rough terrain, leaving them back to loading and unloading everything by hand. We can make a difference. In fact, we've already purchased a rough-terrain forklift, but the funds were diverted from another project to meet this urgent need. Now, I must ask for your support to replenish the funds so we can wrap up this effort without cutting into other essential projects. Consider this donation a small gift to the hardworking men and women of the 92nd Brigade. Please watch the video and listen to the officer explain why this is so important. We are 50% away from reaching our goal. Donation link:

If you ever wonder why I am so adamant on supplying excavators to Ukraine, it's because they super versatile and speed up construction of fortifications 10 fold. (please support my new initiative to deliver more to Ukraine by reposting and liking and donating, donation link in the next post) A 5-8 ton small excavator hides well in the trees, it serves as a crane, as a manlift and as a shovel at the same time. I know this video isn't a hot drone footage of combat, but it is what enables the defense. Please watch the video of our defenders building fortifications for 🇸🇪archers. I hope this gives you a scale and size of the position that one archer needs, and you understand that it's almost impossible to build it with shovels. donation link in the next post ⤵️

Hello, our shop in Kharkiv is working non-stop to deliver the engineering equipment. We are some of our best to make sure Ukrainian units have means to build fortifications and shelters. I am asking for your help by donating or sharing, liking and commenting on this post. New equipment such as this costs 140,000$ per machine. We are buying them for 20k-30k repairing for 10k and with logistics average cost of the 7 ton excavator is around 30-40k USD. This is 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost of the new machine, and after the repairs it's ready to work for another 3-4 years. Now, why are these machines so important? Whatever video of the Ukrainian command center, drone pilot position, infantry position or an artillery position you see in the news, it's always buried underground. Ukraine has severe engineering equipment shortages to build the fortifications. On top of that, centralized engineering units often build something that isn't as functional as needed. Our organization empowers battalion and brigade level units with excavators to build exactly what they need and save lives of their service men. I am asking you to donate to our cause, we have been providing aid to Ukraine for the past 4 years, and as of late, donations have dried out and fundraising became extremely difficult. Please consider donating: Donation link:

We need your help. The fundraising for 🇺🇦 has been awful as of late, and as russian attacks mount, international aid fades away, the needs of the Ukrainian defenders only grow. Please listen to this important message from the 26th brigade. Donation Link🔗: One of the battalions from the 26th brigade asked me to help with a backhoe excavator to help build trenches and fortifications for their equipment (Krab SPGs) and personnel. The war enters a new phase, and we need to help our defenders with the engineering equipment. The excavator is a very important tool to protect very expensive equipment an the lives of the soldiers. It's used to dig deep into the ground and save from incoming missiles and artillery. I have delivered one excavator to the 59th brigade already, and it's already digging the trenches and saving Ukrainian lives on the Avdiivka axis. If you can't afford donating, but still want to help, you can. Liking and RTing, quote reposting this messages will significantly help the fundraiser because twitter algorithms suppress Ukrainian topics

Hello everyone. I am fundraising for engineering equipment for Ukraine and I need your help, so I’m asking you to donate, repost, comment, and hit like on this message. (Donation link at the end.) I’d like to show the effectiveness of the aid we provide in a short video shared by a friend of mine whose unit we have been supporting. In this video, you can see a Krab SPG hideout after more than 30 FPV drone strikes. We provided this unit with an excavator to build the hideout and additional cage protection for the howitzers themselves. Thanks to these combined efforts, this howitzer survived over 30 FPV strikes. Although damaged, it was sent for repairs and will soon be back in service. A howitzer like this costs more than 12 million dollars, while the excavator plus cage protection cost us only 60,000 dollars combined, and they supported multiple howitzers, not just one. So I’m asking you to help me finish this fundraiser. We have already collected 85k out of 120k. Please like, repost, and donate. I would also like to note that we have an anonymous donor who agreed to match up to 20,000 dollars. All you have to do is donate and post a screenshot. Thank you. donation link:

My dear friends and followers, I have an important and somewhat unusual fundraiser to announce. It's very important, and I am asking for your help to spread the word and donate. Please read a small interview from Ukrainian commanders and the details below. The donation link is in the end. After consulting with my friends from the Ukrainian 92nd Assault, 26th, and 47th Artillery Brigades, I have decided to shift my fundraising goals toward engineering equipment, specifically excavators. Why are small excavators so important for the infantry? I spoke with an infantry battalion commander from one of the assault brigades to better understand this. Please read quotes from him: ▶️ "Our brigade has one or two PZM2 trenchers, and they are always either broken or in use. We lack the manpower to build proper fortifications, and the infantry often ends up not digging deep and long enough trenches because they are exhausted from endless combat and shelling. I can't afford to have them in a trench for six days and then digging another trench for six more days; they need to rest." ▶️ I asked if they would be able to dig the fortifications when enemy FPVs fly by: "Now is the perfect time for that, because of the greenery, we can relatively safely build trenches inside the treelines 2-5 km away from the frontline. If we have a small 2-8 ton excavator, it can discreetly operate inside the treeline without breaking all the trees. It’s mobile and easy to use. Yes, we will have a risk of delivering it quickly enough to the treeline and back, but I'd rather risk it driving in the open for 15 minutes than having my infantry stuck in knee-deep trenches without proper ceiling layering with three layers of logs." ▶️ "They save the lives of our infantry. If you carefully examine the latest videos, you can see that the only thing between the infantry and the enemy FPV is the fortifications." ▶️ "No, we won’t use the excavator on the front line; we will use them to build fallback positions, positions for drone operators, and for the command posts." So I've spoken about the infantry, but why does artillery need them? To better understand this, I spoke with one of the artillery brigade commander's deputies. Please read his comments: ▶️ "Let’s not start the blame game; it’s just the reality. We only have one excavator based on a Kraz for digging, and it’s always under repairs or maintenance." ▶️"Remember how many videos there were of our machines struck by lancets? Well, you see less now. We are taking measures, and those measures work. With properly built fortifications, it’s only a direct hit from a 152mm shell or a missile that can destroy the howitzer." "With excavators, we hide our equipment deep, we build separate ammo storage, and we build a bunker for the crew." ▶️"How long do you think it takes to dig a fortification to conceal a Krab with shovels? At least two weeks, and while the crew is building it, it can’t operate. If you think that’s not enough reason, I will give you another one: we had crew members injuring themselves while digging, breaking bones, two people got injured at the same time. This affected howitzer operations; you can’t properly operate it if you have two people missing." ▶️"With an excavator that you gave us, it takes us only two days and requires three times fewer people to build a Krab shelter, two ammo storages, and a bunker for the crew." As you can see, the engineering equipment is highly needed, so this month I want to set an ambitious goal to acquire three excavators, get funds for repairs, and build protective cages for Bohdana howitzers against FPVs. We already have two 5-ton excavators waiting to be repaired in Kharkiv, so our total goal is below: ✅ 3 x 5-ton Yanmar Vio50/55 excavators: $90,000 ✅ Repair parts for 5 mini excavators, 4 Yanmar and 1 Hyundai: $20,000 ✅ Repair parts and services for a 55-ton crane to support burning shipping containers for command posts for the 59th Brigade: $11,000 ✅Protective cages for Bohdana howitzers: $24,000 We are setting up a repair and maintenance shop in Kharkiv right now, and your aid is very much needed. Without you, we can’t do it. I know this seems like a huge and ambitious goal, and I am not sure if we can meet it. But together, we have already saved millions of dollars of equipment. Donation Link: All donations are tax deductible, via us registered non-profit Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! I will post updates and more videos about our work repairing and maintaining these crucial tools.

As promised I'm posting the video about the russian failed assault around Invanivske (Bakhmut) The assault was repelled and many Ukrainian lives and lives of my friends were saved, and I can say that it happened thanks to you. Ukrainian troops have to conserve the ammo and even VOG17 (automatic grenade launcher ammo used as droplets from drones) is scarce. However, because of our support, the troops have drones and make one round as effective as 20 before. The succesful defense is also was also made possible by skilled drone operators and coordination between them, at timestamp 2:05 on this video, you can see an effective use of drone pairs. Two pilots wait for the infantry to dismount the IFV and coordinate drops to ensure devastating effect on russian troops. In the end I want to ask you to help our efforts to support our troops by donating here: The aid goes directly to our troops, they need our help more than ever before. Drones Save Lives. Slava Ukraini.

Hello everyone, I know many of you are exhausted by political drama, mood swings from the President, and the general uncertainty. But the war goes on, and no matter how uncomfortable it is for me, I have to ask for your support again. (Donation link at the end.) My fundraiser to deliver engineering equipment (trucks and excavators) has stalled at around $50,000, with a goal of $120,000. I need your help sharing and donating. I know videos like these aren't the most popular—but it's this kind of everyday work that keeps the gears turning. Here are some facts and why this effort matters: 1) The best way to survive on the battlefield is to dig in, bunkers and trenches save lives. Excavators are the best tools to build them. 2) Excavators don’t just help build fortifications—they make the process 30 times faster. One 8-ton excavator can do the work of 40 men, if not more. 3) Fortifications remain a serious issue in Ukraine. Most units rely on outdated Kraz trucks, which are not designed to dig in treelines. They're bulky, slow, and ruin concealment. 4) Compact 8-ton excavators can hide easily while offering excellent digging capabilities—up to 30 cubic meters per hour. 5) We also supply beaver-tail and crane trucks alongside excavators, which significantly boost productivity and create new logistics options for our defenders. 6) Cranes allow for mechanical repairs of armored vehicles and transport of damaged armor and pickups. This initiative may not be as flashy as drones, but it fills a critical gap and expands the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The feedback I receive from the frontlines about these trucks and excavators has been overwhelmingly positive. They are a true force multiplier. Here’s a short video showing how a truck donated by Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 made it possible to extract the gearbox from a Western-supplied armored vehicle and send it in for repair. donation link:

Russian major general Ivan Popov (58th combined arms Air Defense Army) recorded a message saying that he was relieved from duty from his position. 🔊Please listen below to the audio; I've added subtitles. He says he is removed for telling the truth to the high command. He complains that they don't have counter-battery capabilities and means of recon. He then accuses the higher command of stabbing them in the back by beheading the army in the most trying times.

Hello everyone, Last month, I launched a fundraiser to provide engineering equipment for Ukraine, but due to low donations, I had to pause and reassess. Today, I’m relaunching the fundraiser and want to share an example of the impact of the machines we provide. Please share and donate (link at the end). 🎯13,000$/120,000$ This video showcases a PzH 2000 howitzer with crew quarters, built using an excavator we supplied to the 43rd Artillery Brigade a year ago. The video highlights the size of the position—it’s massive—and with the excavator, it takes just one day to dig. Without it, the same task would require 2–3 weeks and eight people. These machines are often overlooked, and their importance is underestimated because they aren’t considered "new tech." I know this work may seem mundane and unexciting, but it’s what saves Ukrainian lives and protects equipment worth tens of millions of dollars. I’m currently fundraising with Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 and Official Toonie Tuesday 🎗️ to purchase two excavators and a transport truck to deliver them. This equipment takes time to deliver and repair, with a goal of completing the transfer within two months after the fundraiser is fully funded. The machines will support the 72nd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Please share and donate using the link below Donation link 🔗:

As promised yesterday, I am showing you the first russian tank destroyed yesterday in Novoselivske. Please listen to the voice-over message from one of their drone pilots regarding the drones. Russians attacked Novoselivske with an armored formation that included at least 4 tanks and an evacuation vehicle. The 32nd brigade needed more drones to continuously monitor for enemy activity. However, with your help, Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 team passed 2 more drones to them just in time to repel this attack and repel. Yesterday you saved the lives of Ukrainians and my friends. Today we need to reinforce them more. The drones are finally in stock, and the return on investment from these drones is beyond expectations. It's saved lives and destroyed russian tanks that cost millions of dollars. Please donate via this link: We will purchase 4 daylight drones and 1 thermal drone for the brigade. The second video will probably be published later. I have it, but I am not allowed to post it yet.

Hello everyone, Our fundraiser is currently stuck at $76,000 out of our $110,000 goal, and we need your help to reach the finish line. Your support can make all the difference! Please consider donating, sharing this post, and letting us know your thoughts in the comments. Why is this so important? Whether it's for offensive or defensive operations, the front lines have become much more dynamic, with the line of contact constantly shifting. This means new fortifications are urgently needed, but digging by hand is too slow, and our troops can’t keep up. Additionally, infantry units need to construct their own fortifications without depending on centralized units that sometimes misplace positions. This is crucial—it saves lives by providing shelter from UMPK bombs, artillery, and FPV drones. In the video, you can see an excavator donated by Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 to the 26th brigade, doing incredible work fortifying a Krab position. I spoke with an officer from the brigade, and he told me this machine has been a game-changer. It has significantly improved their security, reduced losses, and saved countless lives along with tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment. Help us continue making a difference. Donate here:
