The Kyiv Regional Military Administration has handed over nine new Toyota Hilux pickup trucks to the unmanned aerial vehicle unit of the 114th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade. Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the regional military administration, announced the delivery on Facebook, stating that he had “handed the keys to the vehicles to our servicemen, who immediately departed for combat operations in the east.”
The 114th Brigade played a crucial role in liberating the Kyiv region during the early days of the full-scale invasion and continues to defend Ukraine on multiple fronts, including Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Kalashnyk emphasized that the pickup trucks are essential for the brigade’s drone unit, currently operating in the Kupiansk sector. “Reliable transportation is not a luxury—it’s a necessity,” he explained. “It ensures rapid mobility, enables timely responses to shifts on the battlefield, allows us to transport equipment, and evacuate the wounded.”
Kalashnyk expressed confidence that the new vehicles will enhance the unit’s combat effectiveness and contribute to saving the lives of Ukrainian defenders. The delivery underscores the ongoing support for Ukraine’s territorial defense forces as they continue to face challenging conditions on various fronts.
