Members of the "We Don't Abandon Our Own" movement, together with residents of the Molzhaninovsky District of the Northern Administrative District, have been supporting Special Military Operation (SMO) fighters for over three years. Around 10 times a month, they send protective equipment, hardware, and other humanitarian supplies to the front lines. The activists also organize ongoing production of equipment, provide support to hospitals, and conduct workshops for children and adults. Anyone can join their efforts.
Delivered to the address
Over the past year, the "We Don't Abandon Our Own" public movement has donated over 35 tons of humanitarian aid to the SVO fighters. All humanitarian aid packages are compiled in direct consultation with unit commanders. Volunteers regularly receive words of gratitude from the fighters.
"We started with hospitals and caring for the wounded. Today, we assist military units on the front lines at their request—in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk sectors, in Kherson, and elsewhere. In December, for example, we sent equipment: radios, repeaters, chargers, as well as New Year's gifts, letters, and children's drawings. We also donated humanitarian aid: trench candles, medications, food packages, thermal underwear, and socks," says movement coordinator Natalia Chuprynina.
Convenient and mobile
One of the activists' new activities is donating special two-wheeled carts to soldiers for transporting the wounded. Each cart is equipped with spare wheels.
"About two years ago, we began collaborating with a factory in the Tula region that manufactures two-wheeled carts on a charitable basis. We offered them to those we help. That's how we began receiving and donating carts to soldiers at the front," shared Alexandra Plotnikova, the movement's coordinator.
Daily work
At the movement's headquarters, they constantly weave camouflage nets—50–60 pieces per month—make camouflage helmets, assemble hygiene kits, prepare freeze-dried soups and porridges, and make trench candles and periscopes.
Activists also conduct training and workshops for children and adults. One of the classes was dedicated to preparing individual dry soups. And for children aged nine to 15, they are organizing separate workshops on crest weaving.
Currently, the headquarters on Sinyavinskaya Street is actively preparing for Defender of the Fatherland Day. Children are making handmade cards, drawings, and souvenirs for the service members.
The movement's participants also provide support to hospitals. They collect and deliver new sports uniforms and warm clothing, including pants, jackets, fleece sweatshirts, hats, gloves, and boots, to soldiers.
Help from the heart
Vyacheslav Martynov, chairman of the Molzhaninovsky District Council of Public Advisors, actively supports the fighters in the SVO zone. As early as 2022, he and his family began making trench candles, then weaving camouflage nets, collecting homemade food, and other humanitarian aid. His wife, Olga Kulakova, and her sister, Tatyana, help at the hospital, caring for the wounded and delivering personal items.
During his work, Vyacheslav Martynov, together with active residents of the Molzhaninovsky district, sent more than 70,000 candles and portable stoves made from them to the combat zone.
You can join the activists' work by contacting the district administration at 4th Novosyolki Street, Building 2.
