He published a letter from the board of directors of the company “Baykar”.
“We would like to express our gratitude to all the Polish people who supported such a meaningful campaign. We were impressed that hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens participated in the campaign you organized. We want to participate in your humanitarian solidarity movement on our side with an offering. In light of your campaign, we will provide a Bayraktar TB2 to the people of Ukraine so that they can better protect their homeland,” the company said.
He also noted that during the campaign, more funds were raised than was necessary to buy a drone.
“Since we have collected a surplus, that is, approximately 1.8 million zlotys (and the proceeds from the auction), we will transfer them to the fund of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is managed by the National Bank of Ukraine. By the end of the week, when the collection is finally closed, this amount may increase even more. In general, our financial assistance to Ukraine amounts to about 50 million zlotys ($10.6 million),” Sierakowski stressed.
