Readers of this substack, 'Thinking About,' have been great contributors to three campaigns by the presidential platform United24. We have raised funds to protect Ukrainian cities from Russian attacks; to purchase armored evacuation vehicles; and to fund robots that can evacuate the wounded. Thank you.
The work that we have done together has saved many lives, and has helped Ukrainians feel less alone.

I go to Ukraine because I am a historian and I have work to do there. But I also go to visit the front and my friends and to find out what is needed and what we can do. Today I am hoping that you will help me with a new campaign with a very special focus. It involves a pressing need at the front.
Drones can be jammed and lives can be saved, but people need the right equipment — quickly.

My friends in the Khartiia, the 2nd Corps of the Ukrainian national guard, need thirty automobiles with the ability to jam Russian drones. Among other missions, Khartiia is defending the border at Kharkiv. I have visited them at the front, and have friends serving in this unit, and know the commanders.

In Ukraine, the armed services are decentralized. Local commanders have a good deal of autonomy. Different units need different things at different times. The Ukrainian state is incredibly functional in wartime conditions, but it cannot supply everything. This is where fundraisers and helpful non-governmental organizations come in.

If you donate to this campaign, reliable and experienced Estonian partners will purchase the vehicles, fit them with anti-drone jammers, and deliver them exactly where they are needed at the front. This will save lives.
