The lEuropean Solidarity party leader Petro Poroshenko, traveled to in Donetsk region on Friday to hand over hundreds of drones, electronic warfare equipment, and other military equipment to Ukrainian defenders.
“It’s tough here in Donetsk region right now. The Russians have a lot of FPV drones they use before launching their offensives… and they don’t care about their human losses during such offensives. Meanwhile, our boys still don’t have enough drones to ‘grind down’ the enemy. This is why we continue to get our army such drones,” said Poroshenko.
The former Ukrainian president has visited the positions of 6 Ukrainian brigades fighting in Donetsk region to get them 600 FPV drones and 200 “Molfars”, 18 “Mavics”, “night-vision electronic jamming systems, a Foden truck, an excavator-loader, a mobile tire repair station, and a mobile workshop. Each of the military units got the equipment worth up
“FPV drones are our ‘meat grinders’, and they are in short supply here in the eastern regions. Electronic jamming and excavators are needed to protect soldiers in open terrain,” aded the politician who has aided the Ukrainian troops with donations and military equipment since the first day of Russian invasion in Ukraine.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

In recent days, Moscow’s official rhetoric has been dominated by hysteria over the decision of…
In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
