The leader of the European Solidarity party, Ukrainian Member of Parliament and businessman, Petro Poroshenko, during a trip to the south of Ukraine handed over to the 126th Territorial Defense Brigade a batch of military equipment, the political force said on its website on Sunday, October 6.

"We brought them a dome-type electronic warfare system for additional protection, as well as 100 FPV, four Mavic drones, and Vanilla Tsukorok drone detectors," Poroshenko was quoted as saying in the statement.

Ukrainian MP of the 8th convocation, journalist and public figure Tetiana Chornovol currently serves in the unit, the party's press service said, adding that her car was recently attacked by an enemy kamikaze drone during a crew change at the front line. The vehicle was destroyed, but the crew survived. According to Chornovol, the electronic warfare that had been procured for the unit did not work, and the procured drones also have poor quality and need to be substantially upgraded.

Poroshenko also handed aid to the fighters of the Kherson 124th Territorial Defense Brigade.

"It was these guys who held the defense on the Antonivsky Bridge and in the Lilac Grove in Kherson in the first days of the Russian invasion. [...] We handed them 100 FPV drones, four Maviks, ten Vanilla Tsukoroks," he said.

In addition to the 124th Brigade, there is also the 406th Separate Artillery Brigade on the Kherson axis, which distinguished itself during the liberation of Kharkiv region, the defense of Mariupol and the battles for Mykolaiv. They received five Starlinks, three electronic warfare systems, and ten Vanilla Tsukoroks. The Odesa Military Academy received an excavator for the construction of fortifications, the political force said.
