Shahed Killers – One Donation, Twice the Force
We have fantastic news – an anonymous donor will automatically double any amount you send to this fundraiser. Every single crown you donate means two for the defense of Ukraine. You now have a unique opportunity to truly multiply the impact of your support.
In mid-November, Serhiy Prytula, head of one of the largest charity foundations in Ukraine, presented us with the largest single fundraiser that called "One United Fundraiser" in the country’s history.
The goal is to quickly raise one billion hryvnias (506 million CZK) to fund the army units protecting civilians from Russian Shahed drones. By the way, 10% of the target amount was raised in just the first week. We have been collaborating with this foundation for over a year and have successfully completed several joint projects.
The Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation has a highly sophisticated system for connecting with soldiers who know exactly what they need to make the skies over Ukraine safer. It is only right to leave the logistics, as well as the selection of drones and other equipment, to the experts operating directly on the front lines who have a clear understanding of the specific units' needs. Based on these requirements, Serhiy and his team will procure not only specific types of interceptor drones but also other equipment that special army units need for hunting Shaheds – Starlinks, radio communication devices, generators, and charging stations.
Shahed drones currently represent a massive problem. Russia regularly uses them to terrorize the civilian population across various locations. According to expert estimates, up to 100 real or decoy drones of this type appear over Ukraine every night. Since the beginning of the war, these machines have certainly killed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people.
The drone is surprisingly large – 3.5 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. It usually carries a fragmentation warhead weighing 40–50 kilograms and moves through the sky at speeds exceeding 150 km/h. Yet, Shaheds are relatively cheap ($30,000–$50,000 per unit), which is why it makes no sense to shoot them down with air defense missiles or fighter jet missiles, which are many times more expensive and in short supply in Ukraine. Interceptor drones are significantly cheaper (for example, the Sting drone, developed by the Ukrainian group Wild Hornets, costs approximately 2,500 USD per unit), making their use very financially efficient.
The target amount we want to raise and provide to the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation is EUR 1 035 000
Every euro you send to this fundraiser will be automatically doubled by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Buy a t-shirt, support us
The costs associated with the campaigns are financed from t-shirt sales.
The gift for Putin was initiated in 2022 as a project to support the defense of Ukraine. In 2023, we became an independent non-profit organization. Supporting Ukraine’s defense, we collaborated with the Embassy of Ukraine in Prague to send equipment worth over 1 billion CZK, and we will continue doing so until Ukraine is free and safe again.
How is this legal?
The Czech Republic (where our fund was established) is one of the few countries where it is not only legal, but explicitly supported by law, for non-profit organizations to raise funds for weapons and military supplies for the Ukrainian army.
How do I get confirmation of my donation?
Select any campaign and if you leave the “I need a donation receipt” option checked, a form will automatically appear where you can enter all the necessary information. Once you complete the payment, the confirmation will be sent to your email automatically. For card payments it’s immediate, for bank transfers it may take a few days.
What about the e‑shop?
From the e‑shop profit (about two thirds of the price) we will pay production, storage and distribution; part of the proceeds will be used to run the fund and the remainder will be invested in weapons for the Ukrainian army.
Will you really buy the exact thing I'm funding?
Yes, that is correct. When you contribute to a specific campaign—like Tomáš the Tank or the Viktor air defense system—your funds are used solely for that specific purpose. While we occasionally purchase equipment while fundraising is still ongoing, it typically happens once the campaign finishes.
The time between the campaign's conclusion and delivery to Ukraine can vary from days to months. The defense industry is complicated, but we keep everyone informed about the entire process on Twitter and through media outlets.
