in #TheKyivIndependent I found this bar chart showing the increase in drone strikes from May 2024 to June 2025. There was a slight decrease in April 25, which was almost cancelled out in May and HAS REACHED a new high in June.

The whole article here: https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-record-5-402-drones-against-ukraine-in-june/

Russia's war of annihilation against the civilian population, the attacks on civilian infrastructure, homes, schools, hospitals and playgrounds can only be described as terror. The aim is to bleed the Ukrainian population dry, to wear it down. These are crimes.

Having always chosen #UNITED24 for defence support to Ukraine until the beginning of this year, I joined #HELP99, #69th_sniffing_brigade a few months ago. Now I thought that in many areas it is certainly more favourable if systems are developed and produced locally. This makes #Ukraine independent, strengthens the economy and secures jobs.

Now I have found a great initiative on UNITED24, which is also a #NAFO project:
ยปUNITED24 x NAFO V:
Dark Night
We're launching our 5th fundraiser with NAFO Fellas.
This time, for a Sky Sentinel - an AI-controlled air defence turret that will protect Ukrainians from Russian drones and missiles.ยซ

So I am able to kill two orcs with one stone and do something in addition to my recurring donations to HELP99.
