REPORTS AND NEWS

1000 дней несгибаемости, мужества и боли 19 ноября 2024 года – 1000-й день с начала полномасштабной войны в Украине. 1000 дней потерь, расставаний и разрушений. Но также это дни стойкости, единства и силы украинского народа. Каждый день – это новая история: военные защищают свою землю, волонтеры спасают жизни, обычные люди делают невероятное. Но есть истории, которые ждут своего завершения – истории детей, насильно вывезенных в Россию. Они были оторваны от своих семей и родной земли. Истории защитников, которые больше 2 лет находятся в плену. 1000 дней – это напоминание, что каждое наше действие, каждая помощь, каждое слово имеет значение. Мы не имеем права забывать и останавливаться. Борьба продолжается, пока не будет достигнута победа и справедливость.

A little joy and smiles for little heroes: toys for the children of soldiers from the NSU Azov brigade have been purchased! We are happy to announce that all the toys on our list have been purchased and are already on their way to Ukraine. We raised funds for 8 toys, but thanks to your donations we were able to purchase 11 toys for the children. Your kind hearts made this possible! Thanks to everyone who took part and supported our initiative!

In May 2024, the Action for life team raised 1,420 euros to purchase 2,000 disposable dry showers for the Kastus Kalinovsky regiment and the Azov brigade. This fundraiser brought together 74 people, each of whom made a contribution — from 1 to 400 euros. Thanks to these people, the living conditions of the soldiers became a little easier and more comfortable. Kalinovsky's regiment received the parcel at the end of June. A thousand disposable dry showers were handed over to Azov fighters in early July. It is especially important that this help has come right now, in the hottest months of the year, when it is so needed. Thanks to everyone who helped close this fundraiser! Your help is very important for the defenders of a free Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

On November 9, 2023, an auction was held in Vilnius to support Russian and Belarusian volunteers in the Ukrainian Defense Forces, in which we participated by providing 4 lots. Yesterday, we received the funds raised at the auction and have already started preparing a package of goods to be delivered to the Belarusian volunteers of the Kalinowski Regiment! We are very pleased to announce that we managed to sell all the lots: 1. A bottle of champagne from the destroyed Artemovsk Champagne Factory, found by the soldiers of the Kalinowski Regiment near Bakhmut, placed in a case made from an artillery shell, was sold for 1,900 euros; 2. A souvenir set of postage stamps signed by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was sold for 13,400 euros; 3. A souvenir set of postage stamps signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi was sold for 8,000 euros; 4. A souvenir set of postage stamps signed by former assistant to the President of Ukraine, public figure Oleksii Arestovych, was sold for 3,000 euros. Additionally, we raised 75 euros from the sale of our merchandise. In total, after deducting organizational expenses (1,176.06€), we managed to raise 25,198.94 euros! We will get back to you soon with a report on expenses! Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

On October 6, 2023, the exhibition “Faces of Russian Resistance” was held in 15 cities around the world. The exhibition was dedicated to civil activists and politicians who were illegally repressed by the Putin regime for their opposition and anti-war positions. We believe that such events will once again remind people of the price that those who crave freedom and democracy for their country have to pay. We were happy to help organize this event. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

The Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine is a public holiday established in 2014 to honor those who defended and continue to defend the Ukrainian land from aggression. During the war with the Putin regime, which has been going on for nine years, this day has become one of the main public holidays in Ukraine. We are proud that among the defenders and defenders of Ukraine there are our compatriots. On this day we honored the memory of Russians - volunteers of the Ukrainian Defense Forces who died in the performance of their military duty. Unfortunately, we do not know the names of everyone who gave their lives for a just cause. Someday, we will know them all. We remember. And we will always remember. The action took place at the Russian Embassy in Lithuania on October 1, 2023. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

Small electronics get lost and become unusable quite quickly, especially when living in field conditions. Thanks to you, we were able to assist one of the special units of the National Guard of Ukraine in acquiring powerful power banks and chargers for radios. In September 2023, this equipment was delivered to the Ukrainian defenders. We thank each of our donors! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

In August, thanks to your help, we were able to purchase a Mitsubishi L200 Warrior SUV worth 5,000 Euros. After the purchase, minor deficiencies in the brake system were eliminated in the car, after which it was transferred to the Kalinovsky regiment, in which volunteers from Belarus are fighting. You should be extremely careful about checking the car's systems before purchasing it. In L200 cars of similar years of production, special attention should be paid to the safety of the frame, the performance of the clutch and transmission. The lives of the soldiers depend on it. Thanks to our volunteers for their help in selecting this car! The Mitsubishi L200 purchased with your donations was placed at the disposal of the Kalinovsky Regiment on September 17, 2023! We thank everyone who participated in fundraising! We hope for your continued support in the future. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

This time, thanks to your donations, we were able to purchase 196 packs of wet wipes and 1000 ESTEM dry showers for Belarusian volunteers from the Kalinowski Regiment! War consists not only of battles. War also involves a huge number of everyday inconveniences. Preparing food and maintaining hygiene in field conditions is significantly more challenging than in peaceful life. For a while, this will cover the unit's needs for hygiene supplies. However, it's too early to relax. We thank everyone who is participating in the fundraising! Every euro matters. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!

On September 2, 2023, a picket in support of Azat Miftakhov was held in front of the Russian Embassy in Lithuania, in Vilnius. Azat Miftakhov, a graduate student at the Moscow State University Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics and a political prisoner, was thrown into prison in 2019. The talented mathematician was repressed under the charge of "hooliganism," formally for breaking a window in the office of United Russia. Azat was supposed to be released on September 4 of this year, but that did not happen. Instead, it became known that a new criminal case had been fabricated against the mathematician. On September 2, 2023, a series of pickets in support of the mathematician took place around the world. The Action4.life Foundation co-organized the event in Lithuania. Thank you to everyone who came! Help Ukraine, friends. Remember: without Ukraine's victory, hundreds of Russian and Belarusian political prisoners will remain forever in the dungeons of the regime. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus! Russia will be free!
