Veteran Aid Ukraine (VAU) is a Norwegian-registered volunteer organization founded after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
We are made up of Norwegian veterans and volunteers working directly in the field — delivering life-saving aid and support where it’s needed most.
Since 2022, VAU has supplied over 6,000 FPV drones to Ukrainian defense units, equipped field hospitals, and carried out humanitarian missions in war-affected regions.
All our work is 100% funded by donations from individuals and companies who believe in freedom and solidarity.
🎁 Operation Teddybear – Christmas for Ukraine’s Children
Every Christmas since the invasion, Veteran Aid Ukraine has carried out Operation Teddybear — a large-scale mission to bring Christmas joy to children in Ukrainian hospitals, orphanages, and frontline communities.
Our 2025 goal is to deliver over 5,000 Christmas gifts, each filled with teddy bears, toys, warm clothes, and sweets.
The gifts are packed and personally delivered by our volunteers directly inside Ukraine, ensuring every single one reaches the children safely.
For many of them, it will be the only Christmas gift they receive.
Your support brings hope, warmth, and a moment of happiness in the middle of war.
💛 Every donation makes a difference.
All funds go directly toward logistics, transport, and gifts — never to administration.
Together, we bring Christmas back to Ukraine’s children.
