Non-governmental organization «UFA»

As an officially registered volunteer organization, our crucial role is to be a reliable rear guard for the military and support civilians who live near the front line in Ukraine.

About us

Chaos became our strength, and the wasp — a symbol

Emerging from the chaos at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are working to the limit of our capabilities every day. We launch new fundraisers, buy and repair vehicles, conduct humanitarian missions to the front-line areas, and accomplish many other equally important things.

How we help

We do whatever we can and report back

Rational volunteerism is at the heart of the UFA’s activities. We concentrate our efforts to achieve the highest efficiency for every dollar spent. Throughout our activities, we have had to significantly expand the scope of our knowledge and tools to support civilians and the military. Everything is documented in our reports.

Together with Yurii Petrushevskyi, we raised money for three interceptors for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The vehicles brought from the USA are the best in terms of quality, durability, and price! We managed to buy not three but as many as five interceptors, and it’s incredibly cool 🔥 Thanks to all donators ❤️

It was a campaign called “333”, which we continued and turned into a double-fundraising campaign, “666”. The goal was to buy six drones. We found where to purchase them cheaply and bought eight drones in total. Are you happy? We are happy. Because this is a small victory: our military got more eyes in the sky 💙💛

In the summer of 2024, the NGO «UFA» team received a request to purchase a thermal imaging drone and camera. During the fundraising process, we changed the purpose of the purchase to meet the soldiers’ needs more quickly. This resulted in the remaining funds, which we spent on kamikaze drones.

The military lost their previous car due to artillery shelling, so they needed a new vehicle. → We found responsible people who brought the vehicle from Poland to Lviv (Ukraine) → We agreed to send the car from Lviv to Kyiv by rail on a special trailer → After repairs by Gear Garage, we shipped the vehicle to our soldiers

Contribute to the activities of our NGO

The NGO «UFA» (United Forces of Auto-volunteers) is a non-profit organization, so our volunteers do not receive a salary and work only on their motivation.

However, we have a significant list of operating expenses for the smooth functioning of the NGO: fuel for humanitarian trips, maintenance of the volunteer bus, purchasing humanitarian aid, and many others.

We can cover all these expenses only with the help of supporters. Each donation and contribution helps us perform good deeds. So please join the support for the organization! Every single dollar you donate makes our volunteers a bit happier.

On February 24, I had a thought: if everyone goes to war, who will stay and help in the rear?

The second half of the third year of full-scale war has begun. We need to understand that faith in the Armed Forces is not enough. To win, everyone must ask themselves, “What have I done today to bring Victory closer?”

I am not currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so I must do my best to help the fighting guys and girls.

During my volunteering, I most remember my trips to the combat zone. The hardest part is returning to relatively safe cities.

I realized I could not just work, donate, and live my life. I decided to look for a place to apply myself as a volunteer.

I remember my first trip to Bakhmut the most. The phrase of the military at the last checkpoints — they said goodbye and added: “God bless you, guys.”
