Timothy Snyder, along with four professors from the world's leading universities, has raised $950,000 for the Safe Skies air target detection system. The funds cover the cost of 2500 sensors and will help protect Sumy, Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson oblasts from drones and missiles. The Yale University professor continues the fundraiser, with a second goal of another $950,000.

Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Poltava, and Cherkasy oblasts are next on the Safe Skies program. Safe Skies is an innovative sensor system for detecting targets at very low altitudes, and predicting their course for further neutralization. AI technology also allows it to anticipate where the next threats may come from.

“It’s been a thrill for me to see how quickly people have responded to Safe Skies. The support from people around the world has saved life and brought peace to families who would otherwise have suffered. As winter begins, I’d like now to see if we can do the same for four more regions of Ukraine. This is a season for generosity, and we can all do our part.” –

Timothy Snyder.

Safe Skies proved its effectiveness during tests against both cruise missiles and enemy Shahed 136 UAVs. During tests in 11 regions of Ukraine, it detected 100% of air threats without a single error. For effective protection of Ukraine's territory, 12,500 devices are required. 

This is the second fundraiser of the prominent historian and UNITED24 Ambassador Timothy Snyder. He was joined by Francis Fukuyama of Stanford University, Rory Finnin of Cambridge, Timothy Garton Ash of Oxford, and Serhiy Plokhy of Harvard. These outstanding scientists have joined forces to protect Ukrainians from russian shelling on the eve of the coming winter.
