80th Air Assault Brigade
Thanks to our incredible community, we raised $16,007 and bought drone components and portable power equipment that are helping UAV operators of the 80th brigade work more effectively.
Thank you for joining our important mission!
The 80th Air Assault Brigade is an elite unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces specializing in airborne and air assault operations. Known for their bravery and strategic importance, they have played a crucial role in defending Ukraine. Our hero, Makhno, served in this distinguished brigade, exemplifying courage and dedication.
In honor of his memory, we launched this fundraising campaign to support the brigade and continue his mission of service and sacrifice.
Makhno
Makhno was one of the heroes we supported. We worked closely with him for about a year.
In our team’s last interview with him, he shared his plans for the future and revealed that his motivation and support during the war came from his family — his wife and his 7-year-old son. Yurii’s wish was to take his son to first grade this year.
His family mentioned that the greatest support we could offer would be to organize a fundraiser in his honor and assist Makhno’s unit and comrades.

Below is a part of our conversation with Makhno during our trip to Sumy in August 2024.
We talked about his motivation, his role in the Ukrainian Army, his life before the war, and his current dreams and plans.
Every dollar donated has a significant impact.
The 80th Regiment is currently engaged in a challenging front, making support more crucial than ever.
We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser, helping us supply Ukrainian defenders with what they need.
