Our mission is to protect ordinary Ukrainians who took up arms and joined territorial defence units to defend their homes and their right to live in a free sovereign country, so they can return home safe. Even though the training was exceptional and proved to be effective in combat the sheer numbers of Russian troops are overwhelming the SFU and the call for volunteers to join the Ukrainian territ
orial defence has been made. It was answered by hundreds of thousands of ordinary Ukrainians - teachers, doctors, construction workers, librarians, IT professionals to name a few. These brave men and women chose to defend their home, their loved ones and their right to live in a free sovereign country. They are highly motivated and eager, but lack basic protective equipment (ballistic plates, helmets, eye protection), medication and other supplies necessary for field operations. We, the Maple Trident, a Canadian non for profit, following the legacy of the Canadian Armed Forces (the backbone of the organization is formed by current and former CAF members) by helping the Ukrainians in their fight and doing so by providing essential equipment for the territorial guard and combat units so they can live to fight another day.
