raising funds to buy pick up track for Belarusians who fight along side with Ukranians against Russian invasion

Dear friends, as you know, Russia has made a treacherous attack on Ukraine and committed many crimes against the free Ukrainian people. Volunteers from many countries, including Belarusians, have responded to defend Ukraine's freedom. They defend not only the freedom of Ukraine, but also the freedom of Belarus, because it is occupied by Russia and Lukashenko's puppet regime. Defeating the Russian occupation gives a better chance of freeing Ukraine from the racist invaders and reduces support for the Lukashenko regime in Belarus.

This is why there is a huge demand for volunteer vehicles, because they are under fire (as you see in the photo) or the vehicles simply can't take the strain.

Vehicles play a key role in the approach of victory, because they allow you to move faster on the ground, transport the wounded quickly and remove bodies from the battlefield, carry heavy ammunition or be used as a platform for weapons.

A camper comes in handy for volunteers who have to linger in places where they travel. Also comes in handy for cooking meals for those in need.

My goal is to pack the car with everything I need and add a trailer or camper and deliver it to Ukraine or in Poland on the sorting center or transporters who work with Ukrainians, it all depends on the time of delivery, because I can make the transportation only at a certain time.

Why Scotland? The vehicles here are right-hand drive, which prevents the driver from being hit by sniper fire. Also, there's a greater choice of vehicles here.

What's the plan.

1. The first priority is to raise funds to buy a car for our Belarussian volunteers

£3-4.000. it will be bought through Gumtree or eBay. It will be necessary to arrange the documents, insurance, road tax. All this will take about 2 weeks if successfully collected.

2. do the service, which could cost £300-400 to make sure the car will run for a long time (miles), complete with everything you need (spare tires, extra lights, roof rack). this could take about a week, again if you collect successfully.

3. at the same time continue to raise funds to buy a trailer camper in the region of £300-1000 through Gumtree or eBay, using the car with the trailer move it to temporary storage or during further collection service or make sure everything inside works.

4. while the collection and purchase of a car with a trailer is being done collect everything possible for humanitarian aid, which will be temporarily stored in the attic of my house or in the garage, if the thing is big. Or I will try to negotiate with the Ukrainian diaspora, they have premises.

5. collect everything I need and transport the car with a trailer along with the humanitarian aid. To transport to Poland i will need money for fuel and for the ferry, transportation time 3-4 days, the preliminary final stop in Poland, where trusted Helen Minsky Foundation people can pick up everything for transportation to Ukraine.

6. to fly back to Scotland by plane, the money for the ticket may have to be bought with my own money.

7. begin new preparations for the purchase of the vehicle, which I plan to transport as possible, but about every month.

Total in time: from the time of the beginning of the collection to the arrival in Poland should take 1-1.5 months, which in principle corresponds to the time of replenishment of damaged vehicles, which can increase with a counterattack from ZSU.

Total in resources should come to £6000.

Just in case the cost per item is less, the remainder will be spent on drones or night vision devices or the next vehicle.

My name is Sergei Drugakov, I am a Belarusian and I am in Scotland.

I am in close contact with the Belarusian Helen Minskaya https://t.me/chatBelaruskidom, which in Ukraine has created a fund to help ZSU, which now includes our Belarusian volunteers. Her fund receives applications from ZSU military if they need anything for the military repulse to the Russian occupiers.

Part of the collection from request to Helen is redirected to me, so that I can help assemble and equip a vehicle to replace those that are in disrepair. Everything else is in addition to the car to load it with everything it needs, including humanitarian aid.

I am not alone, other belarusians trying to help in combined effort to fight against Russian invasion.
