The first frontline trip of our volunteers in 2026 is nearing its finish. So we can already sum up the results.
This trip has its own special feature. It is taking place in partnership with two groups from the Netherlands representing different communities: a media community and a religious and business community. Thanks to the division into two groups, we managed to cover almost the entire frontline – from Zaporizhzhia to Sumy.
As part of this mission, we delivered a DAF truck unit (specifically the type required for military needs) to the 78th Airborne Assault Regiment (which became a brigade at the beginning of this year). This is essentially their first heavy tractor, significantly expanding their capabilities in solving a wide range of logistics tasks.
“This is also our first large tractor unit,” notes Yurii Tanasiichuk, head of the April Foundation. “It took quite a lot of time to find an international resource, secure funding, and complete repairs. Today, we are grateful to our close friends, partners, and communities who understand what is happening in Ukraine, respond to numerous requests, choose some of the most difficult ones, and help close them. Without their involvement, it would have been difficult to act so quickly and provide this tractor (with an estimated value of about €30,000 including the trailer).”
During this trip, we also delivered three passenger cars to our defenders: one for the National Guard, one for medical evacuation units, and, in cooperation with our Lithuanian friends, a Mercedes Vito for Special Operations Forces.
At the same time, we thank our Ukrainian patrons for providing resources for vehicle repair and preparation.
In addition, all vehicles were fitted with high-quality winter off-road tires. In extremely difficult weather conditions (actual black ice), good-quality tires ensured safety for both volunteers and, consequently, the military units receiving the vehicles.
We also delivered more than two dozen generators to the frontline, purchased with the support of our Dutch media partners.
Seven Webasto-type heating systems were delivered as well, purchased with our own resources.
Delivered to the frontline: 2,000 rounds of anti-drone ammunition and two Starlink systems.
The objectives set for this trip have been accomplished. We wish our volunteers a safe return home. Thank you to everyone standing shoulder to shoulder with us!
