Muscovites from the "Networks for their own" movement sent more than 50 tons of humanitarian aid to the fighters.

In the first nine months of 2026, the volunteers of the Networks for Their Own movement sent more than 50 tons of cargo to the special military operation zone. This was announced on October 16 on the official website of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. mos.ru .

Activists are collecting aid at the request of the military and hospitals, and more than 4,500 people have already joined the movement. According to the organization, 445 tons of parcels have been delivered to the front line since the beginning of the SVO. In October, representatives of the "Networks for Their Own" movement from the Voykovsky district plan to transfer a new batch of humanitarian aid to military units. It will include "Leshy" camouflage capes, fleece sweatshirts, camouflage nets, trench candles, hygiene products, energy bars, generators and diesel heaters.

The movement appeared in March 2022 on the initiative of the Novozhilov family. Over time, the volunteers expanded their work areas: they began to weave camouflage nets, make tactical stretchers, raincoats, raincoats and anti-drone blankets. Now one of the most sought-after products remains the "Leshy" capes, designed for scouts and stormtroopers. Activists sew sweatpants and fleece sweatshirts for hospitals. You can work both at headquarters and at home, collecting materials for making necessary things.

"We are a united team, today we have more than 4,500 people: we weave, sew, assemble, then we take them to the guys. Camouflage nets are required by the military all the time. Usually we need standard ones — three by six meters, but sometimes special ones," said Ksenia Novozhilova, the leader of the volunteer organization.

She also gave an example of working with large networks: in June, activists produced canvases measuring five by six meters to disguise Ural cars, and in July they were delivered to the recipients.

At the end of September, the volunteers prepared about 2 tons of aid to be sent. The cargo included three generators, medicines, hygiene products, 60 camouflage nets and 30 "Leshy" capes, as well as children's letters and drawings for military personnel. In addition, at the request of the hospitals, the activists produced about 400 hoodies and sweatpants. Humanitarian convoys are sent to the front line on a weekly basis.

Anyone can join the "Networks for their own" movement. Information about the work of the association and other volunteer organizations can be obtained from the administration of the Voykovsky district at 2/1 1st Novopodmoskovny Lane, or on the official website of the district.
