Transcarpathian Dragon Supplier

Transcarpathian Dragon Supplier (Hungarian: Kárpátaljai Sárkányellátó) is a Hungarian civilian, non-political foundation and online donation platform. It was established to support the 68th independent territorial defence battalion, known as the 'Transcarpathian Dragons', part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' 101st independent territorial defence brigade. The initiative grew out of a group of private citizens who were moved by a photograph posted on 23 October 2022 showing Hungarian-ethnic soldiers holding a perforated Hungarian flag and a Ukrainian flag near the village of Ambarne, close to the Ukrainian-Russian border — an image reminiscent of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The foundation's work is organised around a dedicated bank account opened to receive donations, and it maintains continuous communication with Professor Ferenc 'Fegyir' Sándor, a teacher at Uzhhorod University who fights in the battalion. On 26 April 2024, the Kárpátaljai Sárkányellátó Alapítvány was officially registered, allowing for more structured and effective assistance. The organisation operates primarily in Hungary and directs support to Ukrainian military personnel, with a focus on the Transcarpathian region. Its website provides donation details, project information, and contact channels, and it accepts contributions via bank transfer (OTP Bank), Revolut, and other means. The entity is a private, non-profit foundation rather than a commercial company, but it functions as a branded platform for fundraising and civilian support.

The Transcarpathian Dragon Supplier (Kárpátaljai Sárkányellátó) emerged as a grassroots Hungarian civilian initiative in response to the war in Ukraine. Its origins trace to 23 October 2022, when a photograph was posted on Facebook showing Hungarian-ethnic soldiers of the 68th 'Transcarpathian Dragons' battalion holding a perforated Hungarian flag and a Ukrainian flag near the village of Ambarne, close to the Ukrainian-Russian border. The image, evoking the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, resonated strongly with a group of Hungarian citizens, who decided to organise support. They opened a dedicated bank account to collect donations and established continuous communication with Professor Ferenc 'Fegyir' Sándor, a lecturer at Uzhhorod University who serves in the battalion. On 26 April 2024, the initiative was formally registered as the Kárpátaljai Sárkányellátó Alapítvány, enabling more structured and effective aid. The foundation describes itself as a non-political group of civilians and operates a website (sarkanyellato.eu) that provides donation details, project information, and contact channels. It accepts donations via OTP Bank, Revolut, and other methods, and runs several projects including Sárkányellátó, Oldalsárkány, Papírsárkány, and Ovisüsü.
