Sky Sentinel Fundraiser Completed: $3,300,000 Raised for 22 Air Defense Units

In May 2025, we launched a large-scale fundraiser to procure 10 Sky Sentinel turrets — modern systems designed to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and protect peaceful cities from drone and missile attacks.

From the very beginning, the initiative was supported by AWT Bavaria, which immediately made a contribution covering the full cost of one turret.

Ukrainian artists also joined the effort. Among the first to support the fundraiser was singer Vitaliy Kozlovskyi. The campaign was also backed by DOROFEEVA and POSITIFF on their own initiative, who encouraged their audiences to contribute towards strengthening Ukraine’s air defense.

By June 2025, $1,500,000 had already been raised — enough to fund the first 10 air defense turrets for quieter nights in Ukrainian cities. However, protecting people from relentless aerial terror requires more systems. We therefore extended the fundraiser — and together, we achieved even more.

In total, the campaign united responsible businesses, Ukrainian stars, and hundreds of supporters from around the world. Altogether, $3,300,000 was raised to procure 22 air defense units.

We would like to especially recognize the incredible international community NAFO, which raised funds for 3 full turrets. This is a powerful example of how a global community can transform solidarity into tangible support on the battlefield.

The fundraiser was also supported by Uklon, the pharmacy chain ANC, the Toonie Tuesday and Reddit communities, as well as the brand Saint Javelin.

The campaign was further amplified by our ambassadors — historian Timothy Snyder, actor Liev Schreiber, and Ukrainian artists Jerry Heil, Olena Topolia, and Artem Pivovarov, who recorded video appeals calling on people to support the initiative.

AI-controlled turrets are already helping intercept enemy drones and missiles, saving Ukrainian lives. Every system installed means lives protected, infrastructure preserved, and another step toward safer skies.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Sky Sentinel is a shared victory of people, businesses, and the international community.
