We had already reached the original goal of the campaign, but there’s been a small last-minute complication.
The Yak-52 engine we had planned to buy has already been purchased, and available replacement is a little more expensive, but also in better condition, leaving us €3,070 short.
🇺🇦 Only €185 remains until we reach 50% of our campaign.

A Russian businessman in Samara records an advert selling his Wildberries pickup point, with the company’s massive logistics hub burning in the background.
Energy prices accounted for over 40 percent of the total increase in consumer prices in April. And the bigger wave of goods repriced with wartime oil costs hasn't even hit U.S. warehouses yet. warontherocks.com/glass-jaw-th...
Ukrainian pilot Vadym “Karaya” Voroshylov has moved from the MiG-29 to Sweden’s Gripen, Pavlo Palisa said. Karaya called the flying impressions powerful and is now fully focused on training and studying Gripen as Ukraine’s future combat aviation platform. #Ukraine
Sweden will transfer the first 16 Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine
Thank you,Sweden!
These’re JAS 39 Gripen C/D multirole fighters-aircraft Ukraine had previously described as among the most sought-after for strengthening its combat aviation
Countries also signed a declaration on defense cooperation
Sweden’s Defense Minister Pål Jonson said training of Ukrainian pilots and technicians on Gripen is already underway and will expand this autumn. Gripen C/D can come with IRIS-T, AMRAAM and long-range Meteor missiles. #Ukraine
Gripen fighters escorted Zelensky’s aircraft during his visit to Sweden, a signal as Stockholm prepares support for Ukraine’s combat aviation. Zelensky said there is important progress on Gripen, which should significantly strengthen Ukrainian combat aviation. #Ukraine
Deputy Head of Ukrainian Presidential Office Pavlo Palisa about the significance of Gripen aircraft:
Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighters equipped with Meteor missiles will become the "long arm" of our aviation.
For everyone that claims this year has been “not dominant” in terms of prem league points etc; id say that’s how competitive it is for fine margins. When relegation terms can shop
For 50+ M£ in January that a testament to the league strength. Cheers #Arsenal

Deadlock over. The EU just cleared way for the €90-billion-loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package.
Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost.
We will provide Ukraine what it needs to hold its ground, until Putin understands his war leads nowhere.
Glad I won’t have to hear the name Catamo for a while, bc as much as he sounds a player I just think of Lee Cattermole when they say his name. #arsenal#ucl
A Hungary thread; Peter Magyars opposition is a unique unifier of someone unique to Hungary. The bottom line is “continuation” or not (and it seems not). It’s a giant Petri dish / litmus test of what is positive for modern elections.
It’s slightly odd to have in certain ways a more nationalistic candidate that is also more pro EU and yet would prob agree with many points of MAGA (even if Vance dint show up). But that’s a sign of how poor these subjects are covered.
So an extremely high turnout as well as a few cases of intimidation and other schemes (some legal, some grey, some def not legal) but signs are still positive in #hungary. A current litmus test/petri dish of modern elections.
Vance visits the EU’s most corrupt country and shares a stage with Orban claiming “I won’t tell you who to vote for” then goes on an incoherent rant about Brussels. It’s beyond stoopid. #Hungary
🤯 Hungarian journalist warns the alleged explosives threat near the Serbia–Hungary gas pipeline could be a false-flag to disrupt Hungary’s election campaign.
🔗 united24media.com/latest-news/...
Hungarian opposition candidate Peter Magyar accused Orban of staging the gas pipeline provocation with help from Serbia and Russia. He says the move was meant to fuel panic ahead of next week’s election.
❗️Ukraine's Foreign Ministry denied involvement in the discovery of explosives near the TurkStream pipeline in Serbia, suggesting it might be a Russian false-flag operation. #Ukraine
❗️US Vice President JD Vance plans a visit to Hungary to support Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of the April 12 parliamentary elections. Orban’s Fidesz party is trailing the opposition Tisza party led by Peter Magyar in polls, with the visit timing still uncertain. #Hungary
It's just incredible that Trump is arresting reporters and having his FCC chair threaten to pull broadcast licenses of networks that do not report positively about Trump, and the WH Correspondents Association is going to throw a big celebration with him.
It's absurdist satire too silly for a movie.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
