War does not forgive mistakes. And no one knows this better than sappers. They are the ones who work under the scrutiny of the slightest movement, risk, and responsibility. These individuals understand that the lives of their comrades, the success of operations, and the speed of counteroffensives depend on them. At “Trident Tribes,” we have repeatedly witnessed their hyper-responsibility, especially when, together with the “Rear Hamsters” of the Special Volunteer Forces, we delivered cold medicine and immune-boosting supplies to the engineering troops. 

Sappers meticulously reviewed the instructions for the medicines, asking questions to understand all the details of their use. They didn’t just follow the instructions—they made their own conclusions on how to further strengthen their bodies and what to do to quickly overcome a cold if it tried to take one of them down. For a sapper, any illness is like a mine: it can take them out of action, endangering not only themselves but the entire team. And that is unacceptable for sappers. 

Health is also a responsibility 

This is why sappers treat their health with the same care as they do demining territories. They understand that if they lose their physical condition or succumb to illness, it could derail the entire operation. These are not just engineers or soldiers; they are people who understand their mission on a deep level. One sapper told us, “A cold is like a mine. If you miss it and don’t take action, it can lead to serious consequences.” 

In addition to medicines and vitamins, our volunteers from “Trident Tribes” also assist sappers and other military personnel with transportation. Recently, a vehicle for the sappers—a Pajero Sport—arrived, generously donated by volunteer Yon, who has been supporting our forces from abroad since the early days of the full-scale invasion. 

Every bit of help brings victory closer 

Our cooperation with sappers and other units is ongoing. We understand that these people are on the front lines not just for themselves but for all of us. Their work ensures the continuity of combat operations, creates safe conditions for other units, and we, as the charitable foundation “Trident Tribes,” will always be there to support those who pave the way to victory. 

On behalf of the sappers of the engineering-sapper company of the 40th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Grand Duke Vytautas, call sign “Crimea,” we express our gratitude for the medicines and support: “You take care of us, and we take care of our positions. Together we are strong.”
