Manol Peykov, a Former Member of the Bulgarian National Assembly, has urged Bulgarian citizens to donate funds to help Ukrainian soldiers battling at the Bakhmut front.
He expressed that the situation in Bakhmut is complicated, and the availability of sufficient evacuation carriers and drones for surveillance and tracing the wounded on the battlefield is crucial to saving human lives.
In connection with this, Peykov announced a campaign for three SKED-type multifunctional stretchers (about 1700 BGN per piece) and three DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo drones (about 5000 BGN per piece).
Carriers and drones are intended for soldiers of the Third Separate Air Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with whom Peykov and his management are in immediate contact.
They are actively involved in the battles for Kyiv and the region, in the counter-offensive for the liberation of Kherson and in the Battle for Donbas, currently on the front in the city of Bakhmut.
The former Bulgarian assembly member also highlighted that on Wednesday, April 12, at 16:00, he is organizing an online auction of artefacts provided by soldiers of the Third Assault Brigade, which were used in the battles in eastern Ukraine. The total amount his management is trying to reach is BGN 21,000.
Peykov also emphasizes that the coming months will be decisive for the war’s outcome and, simultaneously, very difficult for Ukrainian soldiers.
The auction includes artefacts supplied by soldiers of the Third Assault Brigade, which were used in the battles in eastern Ukraine. Currently, he has the following items ready to be provided for the Ukrainian army.
