The main idea of the "uVohni" project is to motivate Ukrainians and foreigners to participate in fundraising efforts. The entire team works on a volunteer basis, and 100% of the funds raised will go towards purchasing drones.
The platform was created by the public organization Cruel Crew, founded by Taras Dzhul and Volodymyr Zhdan, along with Lviv volunteer Volodymyr Andriyev and IT specialists from Indeema Software, as reported by the Lviv IT cluster.
"uVohni" is a gamified web platform that allows users to destroy military and infrastructure objects located on the map of Russia in real-time mode, selecting them by real coordinates.
Anyone interested can join the fundraising and destroy one of the military objects on the virtual map. To donate, users need to select an object on the map, a means of destruction corresponding to the donation amount, a payment method, and click "Destroy." The destruction process is accompanied by animation and sound effects.
The goal is to raise 100 million UAH to purchase 5000 FPV drones and provide them to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the time of publication, over 700,000 UAH has already been raised.
"Unfortunately, even existing funds and organizations cannot fully meet the need for drones, which is critical for our defense capability. Therefore, we created the 'uVohni' platform to simplify and make the fundraising process emotionally engaging. More drones mean more enemy equipment destroyed," said Lviv volunteer Volodymyr Andriyev.
In a month of operation, the Cruel Crew fund has already handed over two universal radio-controlled complexes worth more than 500,000 UAH and continues to raise funds for drones. The drones will be transferred to the 8th Special Operations Regiment, the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 80th Separate Airborne Brigade, the 1st Special Forces Battalion "Wolves of Da Vinci," the 79th Separate Airborne Brigade, the 8th Special Forces Regiment, and upon request from other military formations.
