Autumn Harvest 2026: Operator Starsky

Soldiers tell us that each vehicle saves fifty lives, so wherever the soldiers continue to fight for freedom, Car for Ukraine will be there to keep them alive. Our dear friends and fundraising partners stand with us and this campaign aims to raise seven vehicles or more.

Keep a look out for the 1000th vehicle from Car for Ukraine, which will be deployed during Autumn!  We are proud to have achieved this milestone but we regret that it has been necessary at all.

It is Autumn of the fifth year of the russia's war to take Ukraine, and the citizens remain hostage to ballistic missiles and bombs. Ukraine feels anxious for the coming winter and wishes for more anti-missile defences, while continuing to demonstrate about army and government reform. 

Thank you to our donors and fundraisers for all your incredible loyalty and ongoing support. 

Victory to Ukraine!

The Goal of the Campaign

• Operator Starsky is fundraising for 50% share in a truck with fundraising partner, The Eastern Border - each partner raises EUR5,750. The result will be 1 armoured and battle ready pickup.

This is our Autumn campaign patch.

Volodymyr the Great Patch

As ever we celebrate Ukraine's history.  For Autumn, we remember Volodymyr the Great (958-1015), who converted the Kyivan Rus to Christianity, expanded the realm to the Baltic Sea and introduced the first modern version of the tryzub. 

Volodymyr is the namesake of President Zelenskyy.

Custom branding

For €2,500 we will place your custom sticker on one side of a truck.

It could be your text, message, logo, name, or your country's flag.

"Your truck" at the frontline

The average cost of an armored pickup we deploy to the frontline is €11,000. If you contribute with that amount all the custom branding options will be yours. Plus you'll receive a personalized reporting about the truck, where it ends up as well as some surprise gifts from us.

On top of that, you may personally deliver the truck UK ---> Ukraine, getting it to our workshop for further refitting and preparation for the frontline. Or you can also come to Lviv directly when the truck is ready for deployment Lviv ---> Frontline and hand over the keys to the warriors personally, creating a lifetime experience for yourself together with us.

What Makes C4U Trucks a Perfect Balance?

Short answer: We spend money on what really matters and save on everything else to deliver more trucks every time.

• Frontline pickups: C4U has provided 1000+ frontline pickup trucks since 2022, with funds raised EUR 9M (September2026).
• C4U deploys mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, dated 2010-2017, with low mileage, fully serviced and upgraded to last 20-30,000 km without technical issues.
• These pickups are most favoured by Ukraine military due to being some the toughest and most reliable pickups for the frontline in Ukraine.
• Armour for life: C4U is one of a few groups that focus on making vehicles battle-ready, not just cars. One key element for every truck that has a risk of being hit: we armour them with 8mm steel plates around vital places of humans (neck, knees, head, body) as well as around the vehicles' vital places - such as engine parts, radiator, turbo, accumulator to keep the vehicle moving even after being shelled.
• Direct support to Ukraine: Spending your donor dollars inside Ukraine supports the survival of Ukraine as a nation and develops in-country skills and capabilities. Engineers doing mechanical work and armouring vehicles, visual designers, patch and pin makers, and other paid personnel are all in Ukraine.
• Value for donor money: The main personnel with C4U are all volunteers working pro-bono.  Our costs are kept to a minimum (no marketing, paid photographers, event planners). The currency value of UAH is 40x lower than EU compared to USD.
