Several hundred boxes with essential items and gifts were handed over by residents of the capital for participants in the special military operation (SVO), families, including children. Some of the items sent were collected in the winter in the “Houses of Good” of the project “Moscow helps”.

Since August 2024, 29 deliveries of humanitarian aid have already been organized from Moscow to this destination. Over the entire period, more than 172 tons of aid have been delivered to the region,” she said.
