Thank you!

Honestly, thank you. You all made last week's raffle an incredible success and we definitely appreciate it. We hope you are all staying warm and that you enjoy this week's raffle.

Updates

The "Apache" unit of the 81st received their Starlink and Fossibot powerbank and are very appreciative.

Pomsta thanks you for their Starlink!

Also, the 21st thanks you for their shipment of tourniquets.

This week:

$2 TACO Tuesday

Is it bad that TACO Tuesday has become better than TACO not happening?

The 5 hryvnia coin recognizes the Chornobyl Radiation Reserve and joins a beaded keychain as the first offering in the $2 pack. Two Ukraine patches flank our very own Arcaist, who is modeling a hand-crocheted blanket by his mother in Ukrainian colors. (It's actually a shawl, according to Robin, but I wanted to have a little fun by poking at our UFL President 😆)

$5 Puma

We never know what will come out of Arcaist's treasure chest; this week it's a signed flag and unit patch of the SOF Puma unit. A tryzub patch joins a pair of Ukrainian-colored snails also made by UFL_Arcaist's mother.

In closing:

I am having a hard time this week writing something worthwhile.

That's both good and bad, right? It's good that nothing catastrophic has developed, but it's bad that nothing has changed. russia is still throwing bodies at the Ukrainian front line. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian soldiers face a lack of equipment and miserable fighting conditions and the Ukrainian civilians count themselves lucky the few hours each day that they have electricity and heat.

This absolutely is a war of attrition: people, materiel, and endurance. Ukrainians pay the costs of the war, but the war grinds on their supporters, too. Every week brings some new, ridiculous, geopolitical event that distracts from Ukraine's fight.

We recognize that, and we thank you yet again for maintaining your support for those that fight for Ukraine's life. Until next week, stay safe and warm.

Don't forget:

UFL has amazing art here if you haven't seen it yet!

And please note that although the event description mentions a livestream, there will be none. And while we do deeply appreciate those of you who choose to donate as well as buying raffle tickets, we want to make it clear that donations are not required to enter the raffle.
