Dear friends and colleagues!
Thank you very much for your support of Ukraine!
Today is the eighth day of the extremely terrible and brutal war. Russian fascist military troops are bombing Ukraine with cruise missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles, artillery, and tanks shooting at cities and destroying bridges. They said they would only aim at military infrastructure, but they shoot at and bomb hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and orphanages. Yesterday, they bombed the central railway station where children were being evacuated. They deprive locals of food, fuel, medicine, and clothing.
The war has united everybody in Ukraine. The blitzkrieg has failed, and the army is defending the country and the world from this plague called Russians.
Given this situation, all the instructors of the Central Dojo of the Aikido Aikikai Association of Ukraine from nearby cities are getting together. Our other instructors and students are at war. We are on the front line of the war. We have everything but the equipment. Therefore we are raising money for thermal imagers, ammo, combat helmets, video surveillance, drones, fire extinguishers, fuel, sleeping bags, and other equipment that will help to protect our children and people.
We are not attacking, but we are defending. Now more than ever, we are certain that we will win!
Friends, please, help us like we all helped to build the monument to О Sensei in Japan. All the money received will be spent to protect our men, the population, and the medical treatment of people. Every dollar or euro means protective clothing, fire extinguishers, surveillance, and life-saving equipment.
Please, use this website to track the money spent.
When the war is over, we invite everyone to visit us in Kyiv. We are very friendly and hospitable!
We believe in our friendship!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to democracy!
Attached below are the requisites for collecting financial aid.
