Yet another round of empty attempts to establish "peace on paper" once again distracts from the obvious: the fate of this war is being decided not at summits, but on the Ukrainian frontlines. In moments like these, our support is especially critical — both in quality and quantity — for those holding that frontline. We must be driven by the awareness that we're all in the same boat, not by blind faith in compromise with an enemy that seeks to wipe Ukrainians off the face of the earth.

However difficult the situation may be, our team has encouraging news — STRUM is getting stronger. The proof: 551 new subscribers in October. We welcome you to the community and thank you for consciously choosing to become part of the uninterrupted power supply for the Azov Brigade.

October results

$86,857 — raised through subscriptions.

The intensity of pressure on the frontlines isn't decreasing: we receive new requests daily from Azov units for equipment. Every dollar or euro from STRUM helps address these needs as quickly as possible.

Procurements in October

$53,102 — spent on procurement.

Funds from STRUM's general account were allocated as follows:

$19,265 — components and equipment for UAVs for the 1st Special Purpose Battalion and the Brigade's UAV Service:

– FPV drone receivers — 100 units

– Signal amplifiers — 10 units

– DJI Matrice 4 batteries — 50 units

$17,328 — drone components for the Unmanned Systems Battalion:

– Video transmitters — 320 units

– Antennas — 320 units

Strengthening Azov's unmanned units with components and equipment that require constant replenishment is the best illustration of the uninterrupted support that the STRUM community provides.

$11,515 — UAV equipment for the Brigade Artillery Group and the Unmanned Systems Battalion:

– Batteries for Mavic 3 and Matrice 4 — 57 units

– Propellers — 45 units

– Mast — 1 unit

$4,993 — camouflage covers for the Special Reconnaissance Unit (30 units).

The enemy often learns about the work of Azov reconnaissance posthumously. Despite the nature of their service, our guys openly demonstrate the results of their work on the Azov's YouTube channel. We helped them increase their concealment for future operations.

While the media greedily seize on the word "peace" and spread it everywhere, missiles launched from russian territory continue to destroy our cities, leave innocent people homeless, and take their lives. At their positions, our defenders watch the emotional pendulum in the rear swing back and forth, while the enemy increases pressure and attempts to advance.

Don't let the surrounding noise drown out what matters most: we must rely primarily on ourselves.

Keep your support strong.
