Quote: "Lumina Run is an evening of neon lights and a sense of unity that brings Ukrainians from different corners of the world together. It is about how light overcomes darkness – and how joint efforts help bring victory closer".

More details: All funds raised will go toward purchasing protective anti-drone EW systems for Khartiia, a National Guard unit that grew from a volunteer Territorial Defense unit into a core formation of the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine.

Quote: "Today the biggest threat on the frontline is hostile drones. EW jams their signals, saving the lives of our defenders: it prevents guidance, disrupts coordination of attacks, and makes the sky safer for our people".

Background:

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the fund has provided more than 25 military units with vehicles, drones, night vision systems, and medical equipment worth over US$500,000, or about UAH 21 million.
