Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine @dmytrokuleba.bsky.social says hello to all of you who support Ukraine!

But a special hello to the Dzyga’s Paw community 😉

A few days ago, I turned 25.

One of the first thoughts that came to me was: wow, just three more years, and half of my life (the conscious half) will have been lived during the war. Probably not the best thought to have. But it means a lot.

My name is Iryna. Over the past year, I’ve led Dzyga’s Paw, a Ukrainian org supplying our Defense Forces with tech, crowdfunded worldwide. We recently surpassed $4 mil in donations.

In this thread, I will share why this work is so important to me and why transparency matters.

This is the first time since 2022 when my dog woke me up in the middle of a night and cried searching for escape because of the explosions.

How much time do we need to hit $4M in total donations?🙂 Can we do it today?!

In the meantime, fighting is happening right at the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk oblast.

Shevchenko, Komar, Yalta -- heavy fighting daily.

he book is out! Huge congrats @dim0kq.bsky.social !

Reading the final version of the “Ordinary Guy at War” at the cafe you spent most of your time writing it, while thinking of you somewhere in Donetsk region.

Tremendous work. I hope this reading will help better understand our reality.

How do ordinary people help us reach our fundraising goals faster?
Last year, supporters like you stepped up to help with five of our projects -not just by donating but also by launching their own mini-fundraisers to speed things up.

We haven't published the full May report yet, but from the live reporting on our website, one can tell...

It was a pleasure to discuss recent mil-tech developments, our experience vs. the international perspective, and the risks of underestimating the enemy.

With Nazar from NORDA Dynamics, Dan from the 47th, and Jonathan from Silicon Curtain.

Wait for the episode release soon!

It was a pleasure meeting @anneapplebaum.bsky.social today. Ms. Applebaum was excellent, very bold, and direct, as always, in the discussion on journalism and reporting in times of institutional decline. Thank you for coming to Ukraine.

What's this crazy amount of spending in April?!
What for? :)
May 7, 2025 at 7:27 AM
I am proud of the whole Dzyga's Paw team for the great start to this year. This is huge. Thanks to everyone who has contributed: because of you, we can deliver more quality equipment to the defenders on the frontlines.

Next question: how do we keep it through the year?

Have you ever wondered how EW equipment works?
Due to the modern drone wars, the military started to protect their positions, vehicles, and soldiers with drone jammers.

EW systems disrupt the radio signal between a drone and its operator, forcing the drone to lose control and crash.

While you keep donating and the future remains uncertain, we’ve just wrapped up the first part of our strategic session, which explored different scenarios and future possibilities.

Planning in such times is challenging and crucial, but we’re ready for the various situations!
