In 2025, members of the Savelovsky Networks community manufactured and sent 285 camouflage nets to the special military operation (SMO) zone, and over 600 since its inception. Furthermore, the activists not only weave camouflage nets to conceal fortifications and equipment but also collect humanitarian aid for the troops.
Regular support
The group was founded in 2023. With the advent of the Second Military District, active district resident Elena Suprun decided to find a way to help the service members. She approached local authorities, and the municipality and district administration supported her and provided premises.
"We went to the mortar battery where the Savelovsky soldiers served, talked to the guys, and realized that camouflage equipment was the most important thing. Since then, we've been sending them regularly. Furthermore, the service members contact us directly. For the past year and a half, we've been delivering nets to a military unit in the Zaporizhzhia region," says Elena Suprun.
Today, more than 20 activists work daily at the center on Nizhnyaya Maslovka. They primarily make standard-sized nets—three by six meters—but also custom-made ones upon request. Over time, the center has developed a close-knit team where everyone can work at a schedule that suits them.
Family business
The Pshenbaev family—Ekaterina, Denis, and their four children—participates in the work almost every day. The eldest child comes on weekends and during school breaks. The younger children have also learned the craft. Ekaterina's father, Vladimir Anatolyevich, also helps out by sewing nets.
"I try to arrive every day at opening time, at two o'clock. The middle children come after school, and I pick up the youngest after kindergarten. They've learned how to cut ribbons and weave nets. And right before they leave, they make drawings for the soldiers and write letters. Many relatives in our family fought in the Great Patriotic War. And now it's important to help our children at the front as much as possible to preserve their health and lives," says Ekaterina.
Any help is important
The group members maintain constant contact with the service members. In addition to making nets, they also collect items that the soldiers urgently need. Local residents, members of the youth chamber, community advisors, and veterans are helping with this. Among them are representatives of a wide range of professions: kindergarten and school teachers, kindergarten staff, and clinic staff. They bring food, hygiene products, medications, and clothing.
In 2025, in addition to camouflage nets, the group sent nine humanitarian convoys to their fellow Savelovsky residents. The donated aid included an ATV and a mobile trailer, electronic warfare equipment, and building materials. Eleven convoys were also sent to the regiment in the Zaporizhzhia sector, and medical equipment was sent to hospitals and clinics in the Donbas.
On February 23, the soldiers received a special gift—approximately three tons of humanitarian aid. It included camouflage nets, food, and essential items.
