🤝We are asking you to support the anti-authoritarian group of international fighters who risk their lives in the fight against russian occupiers. Among them are Jakub from the Czech Republic, Bender, and Loki. They are fighting against the Russian dictatorship, and now they urgently need an SUV to carry out combat missions in eastern Ukraine.

✍️As the guys write:

“We are working in the eastern sector, and our vehicle was recently burned by separatist bastards at night. We are asking you to help us raise funds for a new car so we can continue to fulfill our missions and help in the fight.”

🔥This fundraiser is organized by the Solidarity Collectives and the Czech Anarchist Federation AFED

Stories of the fighters:

🖤Jakub (Czech Republic):

“Hello, my name is Jakub, I am an anarchist, I have a wife and a daughter and recently I went to fight for Ukraine. I made the decision together with my wife, who is from here. From the very beginning we discussed the possibility of active participation, but it was mostly emotions rather than real considerations. The situation changed when the second anniversary of the invasion approached. A shortage of manpower was becoming apparent. So my wife and I decided that we had to take part in the fighting directly. Someone would stay here with our daughter and someone would go and join in the defense of civilians from the fascist occupation. We considered both options, but in the end it turned out that I went. I am now fighting in a mortar unit alongside several other anarchist comrades.”

🦾Bender:

“To the question ‘Why did you come to fight?’, I answer simply: ‘Why shouldn’t I have?’ Fighting against dictatorial regimes like Putin’s is my path. Actions, protests and punk concerts are forever in my heart. I like Ukraine and its brave people very much, I feel at home here. I could not hold back my tears when I heard about the full-scale invasion on the radio.”

✊Loki:

“My call sign is Loki, and I am a mortar gunner. For me, the fight against dictatorship is not a new phenomenon. When it became clear in the 90s that authoritarian regimes could return, I began to realize that we were facing a new round of repression. Unfortunately, this scenario is repeating itself: the Russian regime continues to bring death and repression not only to its own people, but also to neighboring states.

“The Russian imperial machine has not changed: it continues to support far-right organizations and dictatorships around the world. We cannot allow it to spread its influence further. That’s why I’m here, as part of an international group of anti-authoritarian fighters, to stop it and defend the freedom that is so hard to achieve. This struggle is not a discussion, but it is the active destruction of the fascist regime.”
