JV PPC Donates UAVs to the 72nd Black Zaporozhians Separate Mechanized Brigade

The Poltava Petroleum Company joint venture (JV PPC) continues to provide systematic
support to Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The company has donated two Tailsitter unmanned
aerial vehicles to the 72nd Black Zaporozhians Separate Mechanized Brigade.

The 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade has participated in the war between Russia and
Ukraine since 2014. Its units have carried out combat missions in the Azov Sea region and
in the Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kyiv regions. At the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion,
the brigade’s service members helped defend Kyiv, including taking part in the battles for
Moshchun and Irpin and operations in the Brovary sector.

The donation forms part of JV PPC’s ongoing programme of technological support for the
Ukrainian military. The company has previously supplied units of the Defense Forces with
DJI Mavic 3T quadcopters, General Chereshnya Air and Baton 10 Opto UAVs, a Tandem
operational-tactical UAV, and a Sych long-range aerial reconnaissance system.

In total, JV PPC allocated more than UAH 3.4 million to support military units between
January and June 2026.
