Financial & procurement report — March and Q1 2026
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.

That wraps up the March and Q1 report.
