RU -Волонтерський центр «Команда Екс» або БДЗМ (Бойові Дикобрази з Михайлівської)

Until February 24, 2022, we were known as KomandaEx, an outdoor gear store that helped tourists and mountaineers to select the proper apparel and gear for their mountain adventures around the world - from the Carpathians to Everest!

But on February 24, our life changed in the same way as for the whole country. Shocked and stunned, we boarded up the windows, removed the front entrance sign, and opened the black entrance—for those who needed us, regardless of the danger. After February 24, KomandaEx at Mykhailivska, 15 became a volunteer center and set up its warehouse right here, in the store.

Practically from the first days of the war, we worked around the clock: we fed the soldiers at the checkpoints, equipped the soldiers who defended Kyiv in Vasylkiv, Irpin, Brovary, and other areas - we found, bought, and provided everything needed for our defenders, medics and those who were sent to the front line. Humanitarian cargoes supported the needs of civilians, first in Kyiv, and then in the villages and cities liberated from the russian army throughout the country.

Now we have concentrated all our forces on helping our fighters on the front lines in the Southern and Eastern directions. Our priority is to meet the needs of combat units working directly at “ground zero”.

We purchase and deliver military gear and specialized equipment to Ukraine.

We are also actively engaged in providing frontline fighters with vehicles and drones.

A separate important direction of our activity is targeted humanitarian aid that we receive from our EU friends and distribute to the civilian population in the war-affected regions of the country. It includes a timely supply of medicines, thermal clothing, food, and hygiene products, which are always needed.

Today, CPFM is a team of volunteers and activists who, before the full-scale war, were united by a common love for the mountains, and now they all work hard together for our Victory!

We help 93rd, 95th, 72nd, 30th, 66th, and 130th brigades, Azov regiment, tank and anti-tank units fighting under the leadership of the legendary Adam.
