‘Black Box’ – the secret joint project of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the ‘Come Back Alive’ Foundation and blogger Ihor Lachenkov. In the last month alone, it has caused more than $700 million in damage to the occupiers. The results of the ‘Black Box’ operation can be seen on many of the occupiers' facilities, both in temporarily occupied and enemy territory.

During April-May of 2023, the occupiers noticed the project's work in logistics centres, transport hubs, places where military equipment and manpower are concentrated, and on other targets.

Major General Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, explained that it is currently possible to only make public this specific part of the information about the ‘Black Box’. According to him, “More than $700 million is our another contribution in reducing the offensive potential of the enemy’s army, lowering the fighting spirit of the occupiers, and russia's acceptance of its defeat in the war.”

This is to remind that last year ‘Come Back Alive’ Foundation and blogger Ihor Lachenkov collected UAH 230 million for the ‘Black Box’ for the needs of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of 2023, more than UAH 270 million have already been accumulated within the framework of the project. This made it possible to cause significant damage to russia's defence sector and reduce the number of its troops, which were supposed to replenish the initially deployed occupying force.

In general, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the amount of assistance for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine from the ‘Come Back Alive’ Foundation has exceeded one billion hryvnias.
