Serhii Tsytrykov, a volunteer from Ternopil, embarked on a journey of more than 400 kilometers in a wheelchair over nine days. This marks the second phase of a fundraiser organized by this man to collect donations for FPV drones for the Ukrainian military.

Suspilne reports this.

Serhii Tsytrykov makes drones on his own. He recently gathered funds and traveled to several towns, including Zboriv, Kozov, Berezhany, Pidhaitsi, Monastyryska, Buchach, and Zarvanytsia. Today, July 23, he has returned to Ternopil.

"I managed to collect 236,000 hryvnias—about 15 drones. My promotion is as follows: "Thousand kilometers in a wheelchair." And I am planning the third stage in the direction of Terebovla, Chortkiv. It will turn out that I will go around all the former district centers of the Ternopil region ".

In May this year, the man launched the campaign "Thousand Kilometers in a Wheelchair." According to Serhii Tsytrykov, he covered over 700 kilometers during the race's first two stages. He announced that the third stage is scheduled for September.

For reference:

Rubryka reported that a blind schoolgirl from the Lviv region collected ₴2 million [over 50,000 USD – ed.] for the Ukrainian army by singing in churches and on the street. The girl started volunteering at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation when her older brother went to defend Ukraine.

It was also reported that Sviatoslav, a 10-year-old volunteer from Vinnytsia, purchased an FPV drone for the Ukrainian military with the proceeds from the sale of self-harvested flower and vegetable seeds.
