Now, according to her, there is a need for camouflage nets, including materials for them. In addition, medicines for first aid kits, in particular, strong painkillers, hemostatic, etc. NGO «Volunteer Center «Pokrova» works at street Khutorivka, 24.
It will be recalled that with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the supply of equipment has become a bit more complicated for servicemen, but gradually, it’s beginning to level off. The first reason is the personnel in the army increased many times at one point. Secondly, it was striking that most Ukrainian productions are located in the eastern, central and northern territories.
