This way, the politician wants to raise financial donations together with the NAFO organization to purchase the necessary four-wheel drive vehicles and FPV drones for the Unmanned Systems Force of Ukraine and the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade.

The purchase of two pickup trucks equipped with night vision cameras, mudproof tires, and built-in electronic warfare systems costs 18 thousand euros, and 35 FPV drones costs 14 thousand euros.

Last year, Vaga became the Baltic champion among amateur cyclists in group races.
