Thank you for your post on the 72nd Mech and their dire need right now. I'm the owner of TopCargo200.com and am in frequent contact with the boys in that unit. They've been in scary situations throughout this war, and have been in constant need of outside support, but I've never heard them more desperate for help than they are right now. They've been weathering daily airstrikes for weeks on end, causing a constant stream of wounded. But a couple days ago one of their positions took a direct hit from a FAB-500 and was obliterated. The men there were killed immediately, many more were wounded, and all their supplies there were destroyed.

The situation at the moment is extremely dire with regard to medical supplies. If anyone at all can help out, it would be an amazing act of caring for these boys that have done so much to save Ukraine:

Thanks for getting in touch (and sorry for not doing that on my own: really too busy today).

I'll see to re-post this request as often as possible.

It's heartbreaking to listen to the fear in the medics' voices when they talk about not being able to save their brothers because they don't have things as simple as sterile gauze or chest seals. On their behalf, I'd like to thank you again for the help spreading awareness. It truly does save lives.

Hello! I can't access your website neither from the phone, nor from the laptop. Can you check what happens, please? Maybe it is a cyberattack.

It was, indeed a cyberattack. A DDOS was used to disguise a much more hands-on attack that nearly deleted the entire site. We have recovered now and are back up and running! You can find details about it here:
