Ukrainian World Congress Launches “Birds of Freedom” Fundraising Campaign to Support Ukrainian Defenders with First-Person View (FPV) Drones

Fly with the “Birds of Freedom”! In honor of Ukraine’s 33rd anniversary of independence, the Ukrainian World Congress, in partnership with Saint Javelin, is launching a global fundraising campaign, the “Birds of Freedom,” to equip Ukrainian defenders with FPV drones.

The demand for FPV drones is at an all-time high, with millions of units needed. These small but highly effective “birds” have repeatedly demonstrated their value on the battlefield. Providing as many as possible to experienced Ukrainian drone pilots is crucial in their ongoing efforts to combat Russian occupational forces. The situation is urgent, and your support is needed now more than ever.

The “Birds of Freedom” campaign seeks to harness Ukrainian-manufactured drone technology to support Ukrainian defenders on the front lines. FPV drones will enable Ukrainian forces to gather real-time intelligence and conduct surveillance and other missions, empowering them to respond effectively to security threats, protect their positions, and make advancements.

“UWC’s foremost priority is Ukraine’s victory, and we must enhance Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities using all available resources. Drones and UAVs have become essential assets in Ukraine’s fight for independence. Ukraine is leading the charge as warfare evolves towards unmanned systems,” stated UWC President Paul Grod.

Grod highlighted: “The ‘Birds of Freedom’ campaign offers a vital opportunity for individuals, businesses, and organizations globally to show their unwavering support for the Ukrainian people. By contributing to this campaign, supporters will significantly enhance the safety and security of Ukrainian defenders on the battlefield, enabling them to utilize advanced Ukrainian-made technologies in their relentless quest for freedom and independence.”

Saint Javelin is a critical partner in the “Birds of Freedom” campaign, offering fundraising expertise and unwavering support for the Ukrainian cause. The collaboration between “Unite with Ukraine” and Saint Javelin demonstrates a shared commitment to strengthening Ukrainian defenders and bolstering their ability to safeguard their nation’s territorial integrity.

Ukrainian World Congress and Saint Javelin encourage Ukrainians worldwide and Friends of Ukraine to contribute generously to the “Birds of Freedom” campaign. Every donation will directly support the procurement and deployment of FPV drones, making a tangible difference on the battlefield in the ongoing struggle of Ukrainian defenders against Russian aggression.
