Soldiers of the 72nd Brigade named after ‘Black Cossacks’ receive 800 more FPV drones – Klitschko

The Day of Ukrainian Volunteer is celebrated on 14 March. On this day, the soldiers of the 72nd separate mechanised brigade named after the Black Cossacks received a new batch of aid, and another 800 FPV drones were sent to the frontline. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the details on his Telegram channel.

Since the beginning of the year, UAH 15 million has been allocated from the city budget. These funds were allocated for the equipment and urgent needs of Ukrainian defenders. In January, Kyiv handed over 500 UAVs to the brigade: 400 daytime and 100 nighttime FPV drones, which were requested by the military.

‘In total, this is already UAH 5.5 billion,’ he said.
