In Crimea, volunteers launched the production of potbelly stoves for the front
In Crimea, volunteers launched the production of stoves for heating dugouts.
Workshops were set up in Yalta and the Leninsky district of the republic, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Thus, Sergei Tkachenko, a blacksmith from the regional center of Lenino, launched the production of stoves from household gas cylinders.
“This is the most accessible material,” he noted on Crimea 24. – And a lot of people are involved in this. We have a group “For Victory and Help to the Front.” We called out, people bring the cylinders themselves. And we make stoves and take them to the administration of the Leninsky district. They themselves contact the military and direct where there is a need.”
Frost and winter weather changed the preferences of the soldiers on the front line. If earlier they asked volunteers to bring energy drinks and chocolate bars, now they need potbelly stoves on the contact line.
“Weather conditions have changed, there is a great need for potbelly stoves, because the guys there are in trenches, in dugouts,” explained Vitaly Irkha, president of the Crimea-Ours charity foundation. – We worked out the issue with the administration of Yalta, and we were given a room in which we make potbelly stoves on a volunteer basis. I was on the front line, asking the guys what was needed. They are asking for potbelly stoves. Everything is fine with food, but it’s cold, and any shoes freeze from the ground, the temperature is completely different. That's why the guys ask for what they need. Previously, they asked for candy bars, now equipment is important for them - thermal imagers, drones, and what makes it possible to warm up in the dugouts.”
Compact potbelly stoves in Simferopol are also produced by the municipal enterprise Ekograd.
