Bulava Funds $7,000 for Winter Uniforms for Various Brigades in Ukraine

The Ukrainian winter is harsh and cold, where some days see temperatures below -20 degrees (Fahrenheit). As the seasons change, Ukraine braces for a battle of stamina during these cold months. Bulava coordinated closely with volunteers and partners on the ground to determine which brigades and factions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces urgently required winter gear. While some brigades received winter uniforms provided by the Ukrainian government, other commanders feared that their soldiers would be left without warm clothes in time for the chilling temperatures.

In total, Bulava received a request to provide more than 200 winter uniforms to soldiers on the front lines. After complex analysis and consultations, Bulava decided to have the uniforms manufactured in Ukraine, thereby supporting Ukrainian businesses as well as soldiers. With the help of various donors, volunteers, and partners, Bulava delivered winter uniforms to more than six different brigades (and counting) ahead of the winter weather.
