Steppe Wolves, a volunteer unit for those over the age of 60. Their work takes them all along the front – now we can help them buy tires, fuel, and maybe the occasional beer
The Steppe Wolves are a volunteer unit made up of men over the age of 60 – men who were turned away from the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to age.
Instead, they formed their own unit and continue to serve Ukraine. Roving behind the front line with truck-mounted rocket launchers, they take orders from field commanders and work alongside other units, contributing directly to the war effort despite lacking an official military status or state support.
Because they are not officially part of the AFU, the Steppe Wolves receive no state funding. Everything they do is entirely self-funded.
In coordination with NAFO Chapter [https://bsky.app/profile/nafoold.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/nafoold.bsky.social) , we are organizing this fundraiser to support their ongoing needs. Donated funds will be used to cover essentials such as fuel and vehicle maintenance, tires, sustenance, and funeral related expenses for fallen brothers.
This fundraiser is about dignity and supporting those who chose service even when they are told no one needs them anymore. Hell – not only do we need them – we love them for their no nonsense attitude and inspiring strength.
Thank you for supporting the Steppe Wolves. And credit goes to u/2shortimer2 as thanks to their sleuthing we connected with the NAFO Chapter that supports them.
Today the unit consists of Arsen, Did (‘Grandpa’), Dnipro, Hans, Karas, Kremen, Peza, Student.
This is awesome! Thanks for highlighting the battle legends of the Steppe Wolves! 🐺✊Join NAFO & the Old Curmudgeons to support Ukraine & fight russian lies & barbarism! 🤝
Men after my own heart. I salute you all!
I have limited funds but I have to send something.
Rock on!
GOD BLESS THEM!
That’s not how to get full leverage using a cheater bar. It’s likely to break that wrench handle like that. Close enough for a good photo opportunity.
Please recommend they make a Liberapay account too to get more of the donation amount
