Former Ukrainian president and the “European Solidarity” party Petro Poroshenko revealed on Friday that he has already made some 130 trips to the frontlines to get the aid to Ukrainian troops since the Feb.24 invasion, with the  the total distance he’s covered during such trips now amounting to 200,000 kilometers, the distance equivalent of 4.5 times travel around the Earth’s equator.

“This includes the East, near Chasiv Yar, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and the South in Orikhove, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. And now also the North—Vovchansk, Sumy, Kharkiv,” said the proud politician.

“If anyone can do more, I welcome the challenge. Even better, let’s compete in who can help the Armed Forces more,” added the politican who has recently celebrated his 59th birtday by going to the frontlines to get another batch of military equipment to the Ukrainian troops.

Poroshenko added that 80% of the urgent requests he gets from soldiers are about equipment or drones.

Poroshenko’s team has already secured contracts for 40,000 FPV drones, making up almost 20% of the total drone deliveries in Ukraine.

“When people say that Poroshenko is doing this for publicity, I would gladly not have to do it. I would prefer to invest my time and money in developing new weapons and defense systems. But when every week you get calls about critical situations at various parts of the front, we don’t go there to take selfies and leave. We go to respond to urgent requests from our comrades in arms. And we won’t stop or give up,” added Poroshenko.
