Frequently Asked Questions

Helping the Military

What kind of support does the Foundation provide?

We supply frontline military units with FPV drones — highly effective means for eliminating enemy equipment, personnel, and even russian drones and UAVs. We also assist selected units with gear for special operations at sea and behind enemy lines.

Does the Foundation assist civilians?

Not at this time. Currently, we focus exclusively on supporting the Ukrainian Defense Forces with FPV drones and equipment.In the future, we may expand our mission, but for now, our defenders remain our top priority.

I’m a soldier. Can I request support without an official request from my unit?

Yes — but there are important conditions.
We do provide drones without formal paperwork from military units, but only when we’re confident the unit truly needs them, knows how to use them, and will use them effectively.

We also require sufficient reports.
Units that receive drones must confirm delivery and demonstrate their use. If a unit does not report, we won’t continue providing support. This helps to ensure transparency, efficient use of resources, and the maximum possible impact on the battlefield.

How can I request FPV-drones?

You can submit a request by emailing us at apply@sternenkofund.org.

Please include the following information:

  1. Call sign, rank, unit, brigade
  2. Location/region where your unit is currently operating
  3. How long you’ve been working with FPV drones
  4. Whether you require drones to strike ground or aerial targets
  5. If any neighboring units are already working with our Foundation
  6. Your name and a phone number we can use to contact you via Signal

How long does it take to process a request?

Usually, we respond quickly — within minutes or a few hours.War doesn’t take days off, and neither do we. We do everything we can to get drones to the frontline as fast as possible. We’ll handle all the logistics so you can focus on what matters the most — defeating the enemy and protecting our people.

Donations & Support

How can I support you from abroad?

You don’t have to be in Ukraine to help.We accept donations in multiple currencies, via PayPal, and even in cryptocurrency.You can find all available options here.

How will my donation be used?

Every donation made for the military goes directly toward FPV drones and essential equipment for Ukraine’s defenders.
None of these funds are used for the Foundation’s operations or salaries — every donation supports the soldiers on the frontline.

If you’d like, you can also support our fund’s daily operations (like logistics and coordination) through a separate donation here.

Can I donate to specific requests or projects?

Yes. Our website features active fundraisers and key projects you can choose to support.
Just select where you’d like your donation to go, and we’ll make sure it’s used exactly where it’s needed most.

Is it possible to return a donation if it was made by mistake?

Yes. If you made a donation by accident or entered the wrong amount by mistake, please contact us, and we’ll do our best to help you. 

To help us process your request faster, let us know which platform you used (PayPal or any other method).
