Donations now closed. Thank you for creating Christmas magic!

Project Completed

This Christmas, we stepped away from technology and focused on something just as vital: human support.

We received 145 handwritten letters from Ukrainian soldiers — honest wishes from people living and fighting under fire. From boots and books to equipment for their units, and even a proposal ring — we didn’t limit dreams. We wanted them to believe in a Christmas miracle.

Thanks to 133 Santas from 33 countries, most of these wishes came true. People who had never met the soldiers still chose to care.

This project wasn’t about gifts. It was about reminding those on the frontline that they are remembered and not forgotten — even in the fourth year of full-scale war.

We documented the entire journey, from packing to frontline deliveries. Watch the Secret Santa 2025 film on this page.

To every Santa, donor, volunteer, and supporter — you didn’t just support a project. You created a miracle.

Around the world, Christmas is a time of magic, love, and togetherness — a season spent with friends and family. 

But for many Ukrainians, this year will be different. Far from their loved ones, they stand strong to protect our freedom, longing for the warmth and joy this holiday brings.

This year, we invited our donors to become Secret Santas for the Ukrainian soldiers again and help deliver holiday magic to the frontlines 🎄

About the Project

This year, Secret Santa for Ukrainian Defenders reached an entirely new scale.

We received 145 letters from Ukrainian soldiers, written from the front lines, dugouts, and brief moments of rest between missions. In them, defenders shared their Christmas wishes: some practical, some deeply personal, some simply human.

Santas from all over the world responded. Together, we turned these letters into real gifts, handwritten notes, and tangible reminders that Ukrainian defenders are seen, supported, and not alone. You donated over $100K for the gifts this year!

[the form is now closed!]

Buy the presents from the letter (a card with your wishes is a lovely touch!). Pack your gifts and send them to Dzyga’s Paw office — we’ll deliver them directly to the military.

*it’s not obligatory to buy everything from the list. A show of attention and sincere wishes to the military is much more important.

Congrats! You became a Santa and brought some holiday magic to those who fight for it every day! 🎅🏻

Wait for photos and thank-you note from the military.

Can’t become Santa this time?

Join Santa’s Elves! If you’re unable to cover the full cost of a letter, you can still support the project with a donation. Our team will combine these contributions to make sure every hero’s wish comes true.

Thank you! What's next?

Thanks to Santas from all over the world, every letter we received will be fulfilled this year.

Gifts are being purchased, packed, and prepared for delivery to the frontline. Wait for more updates from us in January!

Please note: donations received after the fundraising goal is reached can be used for ongoing projects of the foundation.

Similar to securing safe movement, ADS are crucial to evacuating wounded soldiers. They prevent enemy detection and attacks, ensuring that evacuation teams can carry out their missions without additional threats.

Engineering units responsible for laying mines in gray zones and building defensive lines, bridges, and crossings during the advancement of assault units rely on ADS to ensure their safety. These systems help maintain secure logistical connections with the rear, ensuring the continuity of operations.

Soldiers, in particular, FPV drone operators can work closer to enemy lines with relative safety by using ADS. These systems protect against enemy detection and attacks, enhancing both safety and operational effectiveness.

Moving to and from combat positions is one of the most dangerous moments for troops, especially for FPV drone teams. ADS blocks enemy signals, ensuring safer movement and preventing enemy drones from targeting and destroying the crew.
