The Kyiv Independent and Saint Javelin: $7,500 already raised for Hospitallers from merch collection sales (Patreon)

Dear Kyiv Independent community members, We have an update for you: We are happy to announce that together with the social enterprise Saint Javelin we have already raised $7,500 for Hospitallers, a Ukrainian voluntary organization of paramedics who save lives on the front line of Russia’s war.

Our joint merch collection with Saint Javelin, a group which has donated over $2 million to Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale invasion, was launched on Dec. 13. The collection’s central figure is Archangel Michael, the protector and one of the main symbols of Kyiv. It also includes the Kyiv Independent’s brand merch. Our members can use the code KYIVINDEPT_10%SLAVAUA during checkout for a 10% discount.

All net profits from the sales of this collection will be donated to Hospitallers.

"We are very excited to partner with Saint Javelin and raise money for Ukraine’s volunteer paramedics. I can’t think of a better cause and moment to start offering our first official brand merch," says Zakhar Protsiuk, the Kyiv Independent's chief development officer.

Join our effort in supporting paramedics risking their lives to rescue others.
