Together with our partners, we’re joining Khartiia’s large fundraiser “Kupiansk Vampires.”
Our goal is 15 Vampire drones.
The initial goal was $120,000, and we reached it thanks to your incredible support. So we decided to raise it to $150,000 and buy even more Vampire drones for the Khartiia Brigade. Thank you so much for your help!
About
Khartiia
Khartiia is a combat brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine formed in 2022 during the first weeks of the full-scale Russian invasion. The unit was initially created by volunteers to defend the Kharkiv region and quickly became one of the most capable formations operating on the eastern front.
Since then, Khartiia has fought in some of the most intense battles of the war, including operations around Kharkiv, Bakhmut, and Kupiansk. The brigade is known for combining modern military planning with rapid technological innovation — actively using drones, robotics, and other modern battlefield tools to increase effectiveness and reduce risks for soldiers.
Today, Khartiia continues to defend northeastern Ukraine and lead operations against Russian forces.

About Kupiansk Operations
In the fall of 2025, the enemy broke through the north of Kupiansk and entered the city. To eliminate the threat, Khartiia Search and Strike Group (SSG) was created, which included units of the 13th khartiia Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard, the 475th Code 9.2 Assault Regiment, the 92nd Assault Brigade, International Legion of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the 144th Mechanized Brigade. The operation is planned and commanded by the 2nd khartiia Corps of Ukraine’s National Guard. In particular, the commander of the corps Colonel Igor “Kornet” Obolienskii.
In October–November, units of the Khartiia SSG defeated several enemy battalions and assault units, liberated Kindrashivka, Radkivka, and their surroundings, reached the Oskil River, and completely blocked the occupiers’ land routes to Kupiansk.The battle continues: Ukrainian defense forces are clearing the city house by house. The Kupiansk axis remains one of the key areas in the Kharkiv region and requires constant support.
Please note: donations received after the fundraising goal is reached can be used for ongoing projects of the foundation.
