Friends, we're reporting on March 2026 and wrapping up the first quarter of the year. Our support network keeps growing — and the results of this period are the clearest proof of that. Your regular contributions are converting directly into immediate support for Azov units at the front.

At the end of last year, the brigade took up defensive positions in the zone of responsibility of the First Corps Azov — and since then has been successfully carrying out tasks to hold back the enemy on a stretch of the front that is a priority target for them. Your ongoing support, including in the months prior, keeps the brigade's operations running: constant pressure on the occupiers, constant attrition.

This is our first quarterly report — we plan to make this format a regular feature. Quarterly reports will be published alongside every third monthly report on the website and social media, summarizing total funds raised and procurement completed.

Q1 2026 Results

We're pleased to share Q1 2026 results: through subscriptions, we raised $298,699 and have already directed $281,750 toward equipment procurement.

This result is clear proof of what a large network of people — united by shared values and a real understanding of why sustained support for the Ukrainian military matters — can accomplish. Thank you to everyone for your contributions and continued engagement.

Below, we'll cover March results and procurement in detail. Previous reports from this quarter — January and February — are linked at the end of this report.

March 2026 Metrics

Together, we once again increased the total raised through recurring subscriptions — driven primarily by 850 new members joining the network.

Funds raised — March

Total raised in March: $105,037.

Thank you to everyone who joins and keeps their subscription active. Your contributions are a direct reinforcement of Azov's combat capability — a reliable base that grows every month.

Procurement — March

Funds raised were directed toward fulfilling several urgent requests from the Brigade's unmanned systems battalion and special reconnaissance detachment. Total spent: $88,088.

Here's a breakdown of those requests and everything purchased.

Unmanned Systems Battalion

• IP video cameras — 50 units 
• Thermal imaging cameras — 10 units

That wraps up the March and Q1 report. It's been a busy start to the year, and we're counting on your continued support and engagement — to keep strengthening the Azov units holding back the enemy on one of the hottest stretches of the front and inflicting real losses on the occupiers, both on the battlefield and, recently, deep in the enemy's rear.
