The first month of autumn was marked by heavy battles, which means that we also had a lot of work. This month we helped our troops repair 2 vehicles and sent 1 car, a Kia Sorento, to serve the needs of a combat medic. We thank our German friends for this.
Air defense fighters received a drone-searching projector last month. And our drone operators received a battery, a signal-reinforcing antenna, and a set of antennas for FPV drones. Among other equipment we sent to our fighters in September were a Holosun collimator sight, a magnifier for a night vision device, a silencer, 2 magazines, a generator, 6 canisters of motor oil, 2 fourth-class plates, 2 plate carriers, 7 armored packages and 1 back-of-head protector, 1 military tent, 4 tactical and 1 medical backpacks, 2 sets of straps for tactical belts, 3 winter sleeping bags etc.
We’re gradually starting to send warm clothes to the fighters. In September, we sent 1 softshell jacket, 9 pairs of pants, 4 jackets, 2 windbreakers, 2 pairs of tactical gloves, 1 set of thermal underwear and T-shirts and neck baiters.
And, of course, tactical medicine. In one month, we sent 14 tourniquets, 27 chest seals, 26 emergency bandages, 6 abdominal bandages, 26 eye shields, 9 hemostatic bandages, 14 decompression needles, 4 nasopharyngeal tubes, 3 I-GEL systems etc.
We did not have any humanitarian trips of our own in September. But together with Comité Ukraine — Suisse we visited Starosillia, a village in Kherson Region. And children in the Lyman community started studying using computers which we delivered to them during our last trip to Donbas.
This is what our September was like. And the next months are bound to be difficult as well. It’s already cold outside, so it’s time to buy winter things and prepare for blackouts. So, as before, we will be incredibly grateful for your support of the Solidarity Collectives.
