Ukraine urgently needs civilian and commercial drones to support its defense efforts against Russian aggression. Drones have become a vital tool against invading forces. Donating drones is a concrete way we can support the people of Ukraine in their struggle for freedom and self-determination.
Here are few reasons why donating drones matters:
Drones save Ukrainian lives by identifying russian targets to strike while avoiding unnecessary casualties.
They allow Ukraine to disrupt russian supply lines and degrade their ability to sustain an occupation.
Drones boost troop morale in Ukraine by documenting defensive victories against a larger adversary.
They counteract russian aerial surveillance capabilities and enforce transparency on both sides.
Donated drones are inexpensive but make a huge strategic difference in aggregate numbers.
Commercial drones are easy to fly with minimal training, making them rapidly deployable.
Swarms of small drones can overwhelm and distract russian air defenses.
Drones extend Ukraine’s visual range for artillery targeting and damage assessments.
They provide invaluable battlefield intelligence to optimize limited Ukrainian resources.
Drone video feeds document russia’s war crimes for historical accountability.
Home drones repurposed for war showcase Ukrainian creativity and resolve.
More drones in Ukrainian hands save civilian infrastructure from excessive artillery targeting.
They allow flexible defense of a large geographic area against russian incursion.
Drone donations let citizens worldwide feel directly engaged supporting Ukraine.
Swarming drones boost Ukrainian leverage in negotiation and deter escalation.
They provide low-cost asymmetric capability against an adversary with a much larger military budget.
Drones have forced russia to restrict airspace, stretch air defenses, and reassign aviation internally.
Donating drones today can help end the war sooner and save far more Ukrainian lives.
It’s a simple but meaningful way to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine from afar.

Drones for Ukraine via Bruce from Kamloops
Bruce Perry from Kamloops is arriving to Kharkiv, Ukraine before the end of 2023 and stay there until May 2024. You can reach out to Bruce via e-mail dr.bruce.j.perry.ph.d.canada@gmail.com or sent donations to https://fundly.com/ukraine-rescue-equipment to enable purchase of high quality rescue reconnaissance drone for use in Ukraine by an established, registered non profit Organization. https://worldhelpukraine.org/financial-narrative-report/ This is the group with whom Bruce has close connections in Ukraine, particularly in Kharkiv. As Bruce shared with me: “This is who should shepherd the drone acquisition…they would get the best price since they are significant buyers. They can buy it and present it for us all documented as proof of delivery and of course for publicity purposes”. Bruce contact in Ukraine is Boris Zackharov.
