During the creative evenings, the audience will be able to chat with the journalist and ask him any questions.
This will be Gordon’s first overseas trip during a full-scale war.
On the YouTube stream, Gordon said that he was going on a creative tour to raise money for the purchase of reconnaissance drones for the Ukrainian army. He announced that he purchased 35 DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo drones for the Ukrainian Defense Forces, 30 of which have already been handed over to military personnel.
“The program is called “GorDrone” – people named it that way. Of course, 35 drones is an army, but I want 100 drones, more than 100. We are going to this and will definitely do it,” said Gordon.
He reminded that he is currently using his personal savings, part of the proceeds from the Gordon Shop merch store, as well as donations from viewers and subscribers, which they transfer to Monobank, to buy drones.
“During the entire period of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine, I never once left the borders of Ukraine, but within the framework of this program for the purchase of drones for the Armed Forces, I will hold eight creative meetings with the American public in the largest cities of the United States from the end of October to the middle of November. These will be the largest, best halls of the USA and the largest cities, and all this has one goal – to raise funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the journalist said.

Gordon said that after the start of a full-scale war, he turned to the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the question of how to help the Ukrainian army. He was told that the military needed DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo drones. “We made a whole program of purchasing drones for specific brigades. Specific ones are very important. We buy drones in stores and hand them over to specific brigades, because we have a curator from the General Staff who tells us who to hand them over to,” the journalist said.
On the Gordon Shop website, acts of acceptance and transfer of drones to military units and thanks from the commanders of the units that have already received them are published.
