MP Poroshenko delivers military aid to Sumy region, reports asset freezing
Petro Poroshenko, member of parliament and leader of the European Solidarity party, delivered military aid to brigades on duty in Sumy region, including drones and electronic warfare systems, as reported by the party's official site.
"Today, we delivered a large batch of equipment to paratroopers and marines in Sumy region," said Poroshenko.
The 36th Marine Brigade, the 170th Logistics Regiment, the 80th, 82nd, and 95th Airborne Brigades, the 132nd Reconnaissance Battalion, and the 33rd Engineering Battalion received 500 FPV drones, two Poseidon tactical UAVs for artillery targeting and reconnaissance, and 13 Shatro 4D dome electronic warfare systems mounted on vehicles to protect ammo transport, evacuation routes, and front-line troops.
Additionally, the party provided nine upgraded Shatro modules for expanded radio frequencies, DJI Mavic 3T drones with night vision, portable washing and shower facilities, and 55 modern autonomous diesel heaters. Three ATVs for rapid transport, 12 HMMWV tires, various truck tires, drone detectors, EcoFlow Delta 2 MAX charging stations, 55" screens for sector monitoring, and other electronics were also delivered.
"I dream that the government will finally start supplying a sufficient number of high-quality drones to the army. Because there is money for this, there is an opportunity. Our soldiers should beat the enemy, and not think about how to provide for themselves. Beat, without saving. But until the government provides this, we insure," the politician said.
Poroshenko also revealed that his accounts had been frozen.
"They froze my companies' accounts to prevent financial support for the military. This was done without any criminal charges, statuses, or suspicions – simply an order to freeze accounts as 'evidence,' continuing a disgraceful practice that has persisted for over two years," he said.
He mentioned his support for President Zelenskyy's call for national unity but questioned if such measures aligned with the unity the Ukrainian people and their partners hoped for.
