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.

We track contents, costs and require a photo report from the soldiers for each shipment. We do not manage to publish every photo, but delivery reports are live on our website with details about the units, types of equipment, quantities, and total value.

We do not display it publicly for obvious reasons — namely, the security of our suppliers, and blurring all the details would require another person working here to do specifically that.

We started operating as a nonprofit in July'22. Over three years, we continually improve, refine our processes, introduce policies and safety measures, and enhance creativity.

What is the result of this? Despite all the politics and the global decline in focus on Ukraine, we are growing.

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.

donation link pinned in my profile ;)

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

We are a family for one year now.
Love you, Dimko.

developments of the last two weeks.

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.

We haven't published the full May report yet, but from the live reporting on our website, one can tell...
June 3, 2025 at 2:27 PM
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.

Our top-value transactions last month.

The procurements team and volunteers go brrr with Mavics 3T for the Night Triad project.

DJI discontinued this model and the market is freaking out with high demand / low supply + tones of used drones people are trying to sell as "new"

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?

Friends, we are almost there!

$3,500 left to close the international part of the night drones fundraiser - let's finish it before the end of the month! 😏

I love my bicycle.

Do you have one? :)
March 19, 2025 at 3:17 PM
There were not just Santa gifts: they were personal letters, small comforts, and proof that our defenders are seen, valued, and supported by people across the world.

We received the gifts and traveled to frontline cities to deliver them, and the reactions were unforgettable! 🥹

I want this report to be proof: Ukraine’s fight continues.

It is our responsibility.
And we are ready to take it even further in 2025.
We are not giving up. We are not fading away.

With your help, we will grow even stronger in 2025. Join us.

One of our proudest moments? Funding Ukrainian-made drones.

Instead of buying Chinese alternatives, we raised $30K for 🇺🇦 Galka UAS systems, supporting local production while boosting our Defence.

Because our future depends on what we build NOW.
