Residents of the southeast of the capital have been providing assistance to soldiers and civilians since the very beginning of the special military operation (SMO). They have sent 16 convoys carrying over 100 tons of humanitarian aid to the combat zone and new territories. The aid is going where it is needed most: to social and medical institutions, including orphanages and hospitals in Luhansk and Donetsk, to military hospitals, and directly to the soldiers.
During this time, activists collected various items for the front and for everyday needs. These included equipment, technology, and electronics, including bulletproof vests, radios, quadcopters, and excavators. Volunteers also donated approximately 100 orthopedic beds, rehabilitation equipment, personal protective equipment, furniture, and medications to hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, thanks to caring Muscovites, several vehicles were sent to the front lines.
"From the very first days of the SVO, an entire support system has been built in the district, involving thousands of people. In addition to collecting essential supplies, volunteer projects, such as weaving camouflage nets, play a huge role. This demonstrates true unity and everyone's desire to contribute to the common cause," said Elena Khromova, Deputy Prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District.
More than 200,000 people—volunteers and ordinary residents of the South-Eastern Administrative Okrug—are currently involved in preparing humanitarian supplies. This number is constantly growing. The last convoy departed at the end of September. The supplies were delivered to the Luhansk Boarding School and a military unit.
Volunteers in the southeast of the capital have woven around seven thousand camouflage nets. Several districts in the region have volunteer work stations. There, they weave fabric strips into a base, creating camouflage for equipment and personnel. The finished nets are donated through charitable foundations for distribution to military units.
One of the sites is located in Maryino. The group of concerned citizens began with two people, Nina Burmistrova and Marina Rogacheva. They have been working daily since March 2022. Their example has inspired other residents of the area. Nina Burmistrova said that the volunteers weave four to six camouflage nets a week and also conduct dry army showers. She expressed hope that the help and support of residents will bring victory closer.
You can start weaving camouflage nets in several districts of the South-East Administrative Okrug: in Vykhino-Zhulebino on Tashkentskaya Street (building 26, block 2); in the 3rd quarter of Kapotnya (building 23); in Kuzminki on Yeseninsky Boulevard (building 14, block 1); in Lublin on Lublinskaya Street (building 53); in Maryino on Donetskaya Street (building 11) and in Tekstilshchiki on Malysheva Street (building 19, block 2).
Help for SVO fighters and residents of new regions: how to join and supportSince the beginning of the Second World War, Moscow's public advisers have collected over 800 tons of humanitarian aid.
At the aid center in Lublin, they not only weave nets but also make trench candles and accept donations of first aid kits, bandages, clothing, and food from caring residents.
"Our first order of business was sending heating stoves, radios, and quadcopters to the front. At the same time, we launched the production of camouflage nets and trench candles. We started with a small team of deputies, and gradually more than 200 volunteers joined in. In September of this year, we collected about two tons of humanitarian aid," noted Ruslan Bagautdinov, head of the Lyublino municipal district.
Collection points for items to be sent to the special military operation zone and to new territories are located in the Nizhegorodsky District on Nizhegorodskaya Street (building 56); in Vykhino-Zhulebino on Samarkandsky Boulevard (block 137a, building 5); in the 2nd block of Kapotnya (building 22); in Kuzminki on Volgogradsky Prospekt (building 86, building 2); in Lefortovo on Lefortovsky Val Street (building 16a); in Lyublino on Krasnodonskaya Street (building 24); in Maryino on Novomaryinskaya Street (building 3, building 2); in Nekrasovka on Rozhdestvenskaya Street (building 27, building 2); in Pechatniki on Guryanova Street (building 2, building 4); in Tekstilshchiki on Yunyh Lenintsev Street (building 12, building 1); in Ryazan on 1st Novokuzminskaya Street (building 22, block 2); in Yuzhnoportovy on Melnikova Street (building 14).
