A ten-year-old volunteer from the Vinnytsia region, Svyatoslav, purchased an FPV drone for the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the funds from the sale of seeds of flowers and vegetables he had collected himself.

His grandmother, public figure Inna Suvertok, reported this on Facebook, Ukrinform reported.

"We have done it and are moving on. Svyatik has an FPV drone in his hands, which will be handed over to our soldiers in the coming days," Suvertok wrote.

According to her, Svyatoslav is not going to stop there. He also has seeds of tomatoes, peppers, and marigolds, which he used to buy his first drone for the army. From now on, the boy will offer those who want to help the defenders to buy mallow and hibiscus seeds from him.
