Our fundraiser for the 67th Bridage.
They have a new drone battalion and we want to make sure they’re well equipped.
The more effective this battalion is, the less likely it is that Ukrainian defenders will die.
Please help us keep our defenders alive 🫶🏻

Non-Ukrainians: how do you explain why you support Ukraine to people?
I often get asked this. By Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians.
And people find it especially odd considering that, before 🇷🇺 full scale invasion, I didn’t have any 🇺🇦 friends.

Correction: Brazil and the Vatican were only there as observers, so not in a capacity to sign.
And yes, China is part of BRICS and not on the list of countries that didn’t sign because they didn’t want to go when they heard their besties in the kremlin didn’t want to go.
