Poroshenko brought aid to the brigades participating in the Ukrainian operation in Sumy Oblast. “And although the priority for us is Donetsk region and Kharkiv region, today a large batch of equipment was brought to Sumy region for the paratroopers and marines,” says Poroshenko.
The 36th Marine Brigade, the 170th Logistics Regiment, the 80th, 82nd, and 95th Brigades, the 132nd Reconnaissance Battalion, and the 33rd Engineer Battalion received a total of:
- 500 high-quality 8” Viriy FPV drones with starter boards and batteries
- 2 Poseidon tactical-level reconnaissance drones for artillery guidance and reconnaissance
- 13 complexes of the Shatro 4D domed anti-aircraft missile system on a frame for installation on a car to cover the vehicle of BC, evacuation, and soldiers in positions
- 9 additional modernized fourth modules with other ranges to the Shatro domed EW for complexes that have already been transmitted before
- 9 DJI Mavic 3T quadcopters with night vision
- 2 washing and shower complexes
- 55 modern autonomous diesel heaters for dugouts
- 3 ATVs for fast movement, transporting BC, and evacuating the wounded
- 12 tires for HMMWV combat vehicles
- 12 tires for ZIL trucks, 8 tires for MAZ trucks, 12 tires for URAL tractors
- “Vanilla sugar” drone detectors
- EcoFlow Delta 2 MAX charging stations
- Electronics cargo, including 55” televisions for sector control
Poroshenko continues to send 4,000 FPVs to the front every month – that’s more than one and a half million dollars just for the highest quality FPV drones.
“Of course, I dream that the authorities will finally start supplying a sufficient number of high-quality drones to the army. Because there is money for it, there is an opportunity. Our soldiers should beat the enemy, and not think about how to provide for themselves. Beat without sparing. But while the authorities do not provide this, we are ensuring – today, some of the best crews in the Armed Forces have gathered here, and we have handed over half a thousand drones to them at this point alone,” said the fifth President.
“Here, at the front, I would like to congratulate Mr. Tatarov, who set a task for the “disabled” prosecutors. They seized the accounts of my enterprises to prevent the allocation of funds to support the army. Without the opening of criminal cases, without any statuses or suspicions – the order to seize the accounts as material evidence and renew the shameful practice that has been going on for more than two years,” Poroshenko was indignant.
“Don’t play! If you can’t help, at least don’t bother. But do not think that you will be able to hide from responsibility. I welcomed President Zelenskyi’s words that the country needs unity. But I don’t think that this is the unity that the Ukrainian people and our partners expect from you,” Poroshenko said.
