Hi! We are "Culture Shock," an informal volunteer organization that helps the Ukrainian Army. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. On that day, we were in Kharkiv, a city in Eastern Ukraine, just 30 km from the aggressor country's border. The situation in Kharkiv was very challenging in the first months of the full-scale invasion, as the front line was practically within the city. We immediately started to provide help. Our leader – a musician, poet, and actor Oleg Kadanov began searching for and delivering essential items to the military as early as February 25th, ranging from uniforms and helmets to thermal imagers and binoculars. Over time, the number of requests from the military only grew. In the past year and a half, we have provided the Ukrainian Army with a significant number of drones, thermal imagers, anti-drone devices, vehicles, binoculars, various equipment, food, energy supplies, and more. We also actively assisted the civilian population of Kharkiv when there was a pressing need. When the situation in the city stabilized, we focused our attention on aiding the military. However, our organization is called "Cultural Shock" for a reason. The majority of our team members come from cultural backgrounds, such as musicians, actors, cultural managers, and others. Therefore, our mission also became about safeguarding Ukrainian culture, as Russia has been attempting to destroy it for more than a century. When we talk about "culture," we mean it in the broadest sense – the culture of communication, mutual assistance, consciousness, and dignity. So, we also organize various events – concerts, lectures etc, record a podcast and take every chance to rise and discuss culture-related topics that are important for us.  Our help is possible solely thanks to donations from thousands of people who support us. All the funds collected are directed toward aiding the military. We do everything we can to bring Ukraine closer to victory and to save as many lives as possible of those who have been protecting us and the civilized world for over a year and a half non-stop. You can support us by donating the equivalent of a cup of coffee – and in doing so, help Ukraine halt the onslaught of Russian aggressors!
