The first two months of summer have been really busy, and we certainly have lots to report on.
On 28 June, we celebrated our organisation’s fourth anniversary. In Kyiv, we marked the occasion with a public event featuring lectures, film screenings, an exhibition, a freeshop, workshops and much more.
At the same time, Hinaus gallery in Kyiv hosted a large solidarity exhibition in support of the anti-authoritarian fighters. Thanks to the sale of the artworks, we raised 13,150 euros for the soldiers.
Military aid
Throughout June and July, we continued to fulfil dozens of requests from anti-authoritarian soldiers: personal protective gear, communications systems, portable power supplies, equipment, workshop tools, vehicle repairs and other essential resources.
Among the major purchases were high-capacity EcoFlow charging stations, repairs to military vehicles, as well as several ‘Chuyka’ drone detection systems and related equipment.
We also successfully completed a fundraising campaign for an evacuation vehicle and medical equipment for a team of combat medics.
FPV Workshop
Over the past two months, the FPV group has handed over 26 FPV drones.
Humanitarian work
Together with Freefilmers, our humanitarian team carried out a mission in the Kharkiv region. During the trip, we assisted several local communities and voluntary initiatives, internally displaced people and animal shelters.
At the same time, we continue to support the families of trade union members, as well as people who rescue and care for animals from frontline areas.
International work
In June and July, we also held a series of events in Germany, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland: we screened the film *Anti-Authoritarians at War*, discussed the experiences of the anti-authoritarian movement during the war, presented our new zine, held lectures and discussions, and raised funds by selling our merch.
At the end of June, we learnt of the death of Bodia Slam — an aerial reconnaissance soldier, punk and anarchist. This is yet another heavy loss amongst those who were part of the anti-authoritarian movement and went to defend Ukraine. Our condolences go out to Bodia’s family and friends.
Despite everything, we continue our work. We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who supports us, donates, shares information and stands by us.
