How do you sleep volunteer fighters? This is how ))

Hello,

First and foremost, I want to convey to you that we provide photos and receipts of all purchases transparently to all who contribute. Everything goes to Ukraine. Vitali, who you see in the interview above that I arranged with CBS, is in our battalion and is lucky to be alive and tell his story. Brave defenders are fighting each day to protect global freedoms and democracy, here on the battlefields of Ukraine.

My name is Thomas Knapp, and I'm an American - German - Ukrainian entrepreneur and global citizen living in Kyiv, Ukraine. I joined the Bratstvo Territorial Defense Battalion here in Kyiv after we were invaded by Russia February 24th, 2022. My primary job is to run Supply Chain and Logistics like a well-oiled business machine that can supply our Ukrainian and Foreign squad defenders / volunteer fighters with what they need on-demand. This spans our entire workflow from funding to delivery of supplies in the field in redhot war zones throughout Ukraine.

I've organized a team of 12+ global volunteers who are specialists in civilian defense, IT, logistics, supply chain, funding, procurement, warehousing, and transportation to bring incredibly needed supplies where they're needed the most.

PLEASE help us HELP all Ukrainians - especially to protect women and children.

This is what we need help with and 100% of all donations will go to this, with the exception of Stripe fees for credit card processing.

1. buy one 12 ton transport truck, 2 jeeps or Sprinter vans, food, medical supplies, hemorrhage kits for gunshot and shrapnel wounds, medic kits and supplies

2. bullet proof vests, protective body armor for Civilian Territorial Defense

3. Helmets, night goggles, telescopic lenses, thermal imaging, radios, and other items

4. petrol and transportation expenses

5. rifle belts, belts, boots, socks, rain coats, and other clothing needed

6. Drones and Starlink system devices needed to interconnect our troops, trench infantry, drones, artillery, and command post, and basecamp

Thank you from our hearts and the Ukrainian people for all your love, support, and donations showing actions and not just words.

Слава Україні!

Slava Ukraini!

Team UKRAINE from the USA, Mexico, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, France, and Ukraine
