Before that, since the beginning of the year, the defenders of the 72nd brigade have received 2,200 FPV drones from Kyiv. Together with today’s, this is already 4,000 UAVs,” Klitschko wrote on his Telegram channel.
He noted that since the beginning of 2025, the capital has allocated UAH 79 million from the city budget to the 72nd brigade - these are funds for equipment and urgent needs of the military.
In addition, the defenders of the 411th separate regiment of unmanned systems also received another batch of aid – 500 FPV drones of various types, three reconnaissance UAVs, 50 electronic warfare systems (in particular, for vehicles and trenches) and components for them, as well as communication equipment.
