Lviv continues to help our defenders. Thus, 31 drones worth UAH 4.4 million were purchased with community funds for three brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was announced by the first deputy mayor of Lviv, Andriy Moskalenko.
In particular, 20 DJI 3 fly more combo drones were purchased for the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade; 6 Mavic 3T drones – for the 66th Brigade and 5 Mavic 3T drones – for the 3rd Assault Brigade.
“Everything was purchased at the expense of the Lviv community as part of the city-wide program of support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the authors of which are the city mayor and heads of factions. The cost of the purchased drones is UAH 4.4 million,” said Andriy Moskalenko.
We will remind you that Lviv constantly allocates funds for the defense capability and support of the military, which protects Ukraine from the Russian invaders. According to the city’s program of support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the city buys what is urgently needed on the front lines at the request of military brigades and units, or provides subsidies for it. These are drones, cars, walkie-talkies, various specialized technical things. In fact, the city receives several requests for such assistance every day. So this year, 1 billion hryvnias have been earmarked for this program from the city budget, and in general, the city provides 2.1 billion hryvnias for all military support programs this year.
Also, in the budget of the Lviv MTG for 2024, UAH 1 billion has already been provided for the purchase of equipment and necessary means of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
