Czech volunteers from the Skupina D group have raised more than 203.7 million kroner (more than 8 million euros) for drones for Ukraine as part of the Drony Nemesis initiative.

This was reported on the website Drony Nemesis, reports Ukrinform.

It is noted that this amount is enough to buy 20,000 FPV drones. 15,000 have already been purchased, of which 12,000 have already been delivered to the Ukrainian military, and another 3,000 will be delivered by Christmas.

The collection was announced two days before Christmas last year. "The solidarity of the Czechs is a pleasure," commented Ondrej Vetchy, one of the group's founders and a well-known actor in the Czech Republic, at a press conference in Prague, recalling that the initial goal was to raise 100 million crowns.

In addition, activists this week presented a new project, Operation Just Retribution, which aims to raise funds for the purchase of 100 tons of plastic explosives and other engineering and pyrotechnic materials for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The account has already received about 84,000 kroner, which can be used to buy about 42 kg of explosives. He will be handed over to Ukrainian defenders through the Ukrainian Embassy in Prague.

The name Skupina D is a reminder of Special Group D, which was created in 1941 in the UK to train Czechoslovakian paratroopers.

In addition to major government support, the Czech Republic continuously raises funds for military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
