So we just found a good deal on a Ford Transit van for ~4000€. Not as sexy as a truck. But the unit does need efficient transport to move soldiers and equipment around.
At the moment we already have 2653€ left over from previous donations, so we just need another ~1500€ (~1725$) in donations to get them them that van.
I also managed to do some interviews with some of the soldiers and foreign recruits of the unit. Flash Battalion is an English speaking one, so mainly from the US and UK/Commonwealth. It's telling how many of the recruits are conservative. One was even a self described MAGA Republican; another from New Zealand had previously worked in the gun industry in manufacturing. Which of course is now basically dead in NZ. Those videos should come out soonish once their editors finish.
Sarah and I going for a walk to the east edge of Kramatorsk out by the (former) airport:
Sadly that's getting to be a dangerous place to be. The road we were walking down had a few fibers left over from Russian fiber optic drones. Not a lot, yet. But we were about 14km away from the very edge of Russian lines.

My take:
- Bitcoin was created for the exact opposite of this; it shows how little this clown cares about Bitcoin.
- This guy isn’t stupid enough to believe in the “good side” and “bad side” narrative in the Ukraine war.
- Which brings us to the third point. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world—just ask Biden’s son and the child trafficking ring. Everyone knows this clown has a lot of Bitcoin—why don’t they kidnap him?
- This brings us to point 4: he works for the CIA.
