These weren’t just battles — they were moments that shaped the future of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The 93rd Brigade stood firm, protecting the nation during its most fragile hours, and laying the groundwork for the strength and resilience we see on the front today.
➡️ Donetsk Airport – Where the defenders became known as Cyborgs, holding the terminal against impossible odds.

➡️ Marinka and Pisky – Small towns turned into fierce battlegrounds where every meter was paid for in blood and resistance.
Sent to Luhansk Oblast, the brigade quickly became a cornerstone of Ukraine’s defense in some of the fiercest and most symbolic battles of the early war.

➡️ Ilovaisk – Where Ukrainian soldiers were ambushed in a so-called “green corridor,” revealing the brutal cost of Russian betrayal.

✅ Share vital intelligence in real time
✅ Stay connected with their units — even under fire

But radios aren’t cheap. That’s why we’re fundraising to secure radios to equip our battalion with the communication tools they desperately need.
🔹 Medical evacuations can’t be coordinated quickly
🔹 Reinforcements may arrive too late
🔹 Situational awareness breaks down, increasing risk

At the frontline, every second counts. Radios allow our soldiers to:
✅ Call for urgent medical help
✅ Coordinate attacks and defenses
In the chaos of combat, communication is everything.

Radios are the lifeline that connects soldiers, commanders, and support teams — turning individual fighters into a coordinated force.

Without reliable radios:
🔹 Orders get delayed or lost
In training or on the front, this is how precision is built: breath by breath, shot by shot.
