Unmanned systems
Aerial and ground systems: new units for the UAV and UGV crews, plus consumables and components to restore the ones already in service.
Four directions supplying the brigade and one covering the fund’s own upkeep. Earmarked money and the fund’s operating costs sit on different bank accounts — that, rather than a promise, is what guarantees a donation for the brigade reaches the brigade.
We say plainly which part of this is secured by the bank, which by accounting, and which by a separate jar. A promise that hurts to keep gets broken sooner or later — so we do not make one.
All supplies for the brigade go through the earmarked account. Running the fund is on a separate one. Neither accounting, nor bank fees, nor hosting are paid from the earmarked account: there is no such transaction in the statement.
You set the direction in the payment purpose. It is not a separate account but an analytical entry: in the monthly report each direction gets its own line — how much came in, how much was spent.
When a campaign opens, it gets its own monobank jar with a public balance. That is the narrowest earmarking there is: you can see how much has been raised for this specific item.
If a signed request in one direction is short while money sits idle in another, we reallocate: the front does not wait for a spreadsheet to balance. Every such case goes into the monthly report as a separate line.
The brigade files its requests under these directions. What exactly and in what volume depends on the tasks the units are carrying out right now.
Aerial and ground systems: new units for the UAV and UGV crews, plus consumables and components to restore the ones already in service.
Electronic warfare equipment, drone detectors, dome protection for positions, repeaters and secure communication channels.
In a modern war, vehicles are a consumable. That makes this a standing direction: buying vehicles, repairing and restoring those knocked out, and spare parts.
Everything that concerns the service member personally: individual kit and protection, tactical medicine, field living conditions and recovery after wounds.
The fund has costs: bookkeeping, bank fees, legal support, domain and hosting, audit. We do not bury them inside campaigns for the brigade — they have their own account.
That is exactly why we can say it plainly: money donated to supply the brigade will not be spent on the fund's operating capacity. Not because we promised, but because these are different accounts.
Campaigns open as official requests arrive from the brigade. We do not keep a dozen campaigns running in parallel: it is better to close one fully than to raise a third of each.
Two all-wheel-drive vehicles for supply runs to positions, personnel rotation and casualty evacuation.
If you serve in the 31st Brigade and your unit needs supplies, the request goes through the brigade. The fund does not accept requests by direct message and does not decide whose need matters more.
The unit commander describes the need: item list, quantity, and the task it is for.
The brigade issues an official letter of request signed by the brigade commander. That is the confirmation that the need is real — the fund accepts no other signature.
A signed request goes into the pipeline automatically — the fund has no grounds to reject it. We only decide the order if several campaigns are open at once.
A recurring donation of even 200 hryvnia a month gives the fund what matters most — the ability to plan instead of firefighting.
