Friends, the first stage of the “Retribution Auction” has come to an end, thanks to which many trophies from “scratch” found new owners, and the Armed Forces collected funds to cover critical needs. For now, let’s share our general results.

As part of the “Auction”, you and I helped 4 divisions at once to purchase:

Among the trophies were shell casings, various casings, including witnesses to the liberation of Kherson, cartridges and ammunition containers, a combat drone, the remains of destroyed enemy anti-tank depots, and much more.

During this time, you and I collected UAH 411,506.77! Many of you supported the fighters directly and donated to the banks – thank you to everyone who joined the gathering!

In total, you purchased 24 lots and collected UAH 82,050 for our military.

Do not forget about the cool lot, which was provided by one of the largest European crypto exchanges from Ukraine, WhiteBIT – a t-shirt of the Ukrainian national team with autographs of the players. She collected additional UAH 22,242! We distributed these funds between active collections.

Also, some of you bought unique design lots decorated by talented Ukrainian artists. For example, Natika Yolkin painted these trophies for you.

Natika was born in Kharkiv, but for the past 10 years she has been living in Kyiv and working as a graphic artist, as well as creating designs for jewelry, accessories, and interior decor. She combines medieval, original, modern and invented methods, technologies and forms, experiments with materials. The first experience of sleeve painting was accidental, but it is thanks to him that many home collections are replenished with such exquisite works of art, which also benefit the Armed Forces.

“I like to discover new areas of decorative and utilitarian activity, I am also interested in the historical reconstruction of clothes, household items, jewelry, before the large-scale invasion I was engaged in the reconstruction of life and everyday life in Europe of the 15th century,” – Natika told us a little about herself.

Anastasia Kotenya is an artist from Kyiv who decorated these trophies for “Auction”.

She also paints oil paintings, likes to work with landscapes and in the Petrikov painting technique. By the way, this is not Anastasia’s first experience with trophies – she painted artifacts for such charitable foundations as Real Ukrainians, Weapon transformation, Peaceful Sky, and also for her own auctions.

“After the start of a full-scale invasion, I paint weapons, cartridges, tubes. And I am happy that in this way I can contribute to the common goal – victory. I believe that everyone should convert their skills to help the Armed Forces, I do it with paint and a brush”– said the artist.

We are also incredibly grateful for the help of volunteers Vlada Zapashnaya and Kateryna Safonova.

Despite the strong start, we have no right to slow down or stop. If we recall the history of past wars, the hardest is ahead, which means that every day our defenders need our support more and more. Do not forget to thank those who protect your life every day and every moment!
