Kyiv increases assistance to the Defence Forces by UAH 600 million

Assistance to the military from the Kyiv community will be increased by more than half a billion hryvnias. The decision is to be made by the Kyiv City Council.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko's Telegram.

‘Today, the Kyiv City Council is to allocate another UAH 600 million to increase aid to the military. Kyiv continues to look for every opportunity to help the military. Both by allocating funds from the city budget and by attracting extra-budgetary funds as charitable assistance,’ Vitali Klitschko wrote.

Also, almost half a thousand more drones will be distributed to military units at the session, Klitschko said.

‘Another 430 Mavic drones of various types will be sent to the frontline to support our soldiers. In particular: 70 Mavic UAVs to the 112th Brigade of the Territorial Defence of the capital, 160 such drones to the 241st Brigade of the Kyiv Territorial Defence, 90 drones to the 5th Assault Brigade, and 110 Mavic UAVs to the Rubizh Rapid Response Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine,’ said Klitschko.

The mayor also noted that this month alone, the defenders have already received more than 2,000 drones from the Kyiv community.

‘Let me remind you that this month we have already handed over more than 1,000 Mavic drones to the defenders from the Kyiv community, which I took to the frontline to the military of four different brigades. And yesterday we handed over another thousand FPV drones to the soldiers of the 3rd separate assault brigade in Kyiv from the community,’ Vitali Klitschko said.
