A proposito di Dimko Zhluktenko
Founder at Dzyga's Paw, Soldier of Ukraine's Armed Forces, Writer, YT
I am Dimko Zhluktenko, an ordinary Ukrainian with an extraordinary mission. Since 24th February 2022, I have given up my fancy IT jobs to save my country from russian invasion. I never expected anything in return from the world, but many people started following my efforts and asking how they could help—both me personally and my initiatives. I could not stand aside and tried to do everything for Ukraine's fight.
It started as a personal initiative funded by my own savings and has grown into a full-scale charity: Dzyga's Paw, named after my dog Dzyga 🐾. This fund supports the Ukrainian military with high-tech equipment. Thanks to global support from ordinary people, we have raised and effectively spent over $3,000,000 to provide critical gear for Ukrainian defenders. You can learn more at dzygaspaw.com.
I built up all the processes in charity and let other people run it, because I decided to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine to directly contribute to our fight for freedom. While my role in the military is challenging, I continue to share my journey and insights as a writer and through my YouTube channel, @LiberUkraine, where I help Western audiences understand the war—both technically and emotionally.
Many people who have supported my work often include personal messages encouraging me to take care of myself. HERE is where you can donate to me personally—to buy a coffee, have a nice dinner with my wife Ira when I am on military leave, or even spoil Dzyga with treats.
I also have two dreams, and most of the funds raised here will go toward achieving them:
- Writing a book: I want to tell the story of what I’ve done since February 2022. It’s a unique experience, and I believe it’s a story worth sharing with the world. Supporters will motivate me to write, and I will share unedited essays and updates with you along the way, welcoming your feedback. It's supposed to be published in 2025.
- Opening a bike shop in Lviv after the war: Cycling has always been my passion, and I dream of creating a vibrant cycling space in my beloved city, even amidst the disruptions of war.
Thank you for supporting me, Dzyga's Paw, and Ukraine. Together, we fight for freedom and a brighter future. 🇺🇦
