We kept silent about this contract, even though we had been closely involved in it for the past three days. But the payment was made, so bye-bye!
The Poroshenko Foundation - a payment of a quarter of a million euros. And the sweetest wording of the payment is for personal protective equipment. Today, components for 2750 bulletproof vests of the 5th (DSTU) protection class have been paid for. The steel is Finnish, and the plates are already being manufactured. The estimated delivery date to Ukraine is 21/22 March. In the next 24 hours we will work out the logistics and distribution scheme between the battalions of the Theater of Operations.
Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters":
"You know... I have the most brutal déjà vu.
In March 2014, Dmytro Marchenko and I were looking for armor for the 79th Brigade. We bought plates for Temp-3000, and in Voznesensk they sewed us plate carriers. In a month and a half, we supplied the entire brigade.
In March 2022, there were no armor again. They were gone because Marchenko was imprisoned on a completely fake suspicion and we were raising money to pay his bail. Now we buy the slabs in Finland, and the tile carriers will be sewn in Lviv."
