The press service of the foundation reported about this on its social media.

The funds have been raised since April this year as part of the ''Eye for an Eye 2'' initiative. The aim of the project is to purchase and deliver 300 82mm mortars, 200 heavy machine guns, and 100 automatic 40mm grenade launchers to the Armed Forces' brigades.

As funds are received within the framework of ''Eye for an Eye 2'' project, the Come Back Alive Foundation purchases the relevant weapons and sends them to the Ukrainian military.

In particular, 200 DShKM large-caliber machine guns had already been purchased abroad and handed over to the Territorial Defense brigades in August. This amount is enough to fully cover the regular requirement of the Territorial Defense brigades in such weapons.

The machine guns can neutralize enemy infantry and hit Russian light armored vehicles at a distance of up to 800 meters. This weapon also helps to combat the invaders' low-altitude air targets.
