Forum "Everything for Victory!" launched at the National Centre RUSSIA
More than a thousand activists from all regions of the country have gathered at the National Centre RUSSIA for the forum of the People's Front, timed to coincide with three years of work under the motto "Everything for Victory!". Among the participants are volunteers, war correspondents, artists and public figures, inventors and manufacturers of innovative equipment for soldiers, doctors, veterans of the special military operation, and employees of corporations that have made significant contributions to supporting the humanitarian mission of the People's Front.
"Today we have gathered at the National Centre RUSSIA to express our gratitude to the people of this country who, over these past three challenging years, have been supporting the front. Seamstresses, cyber brigades, engineers, volunteers, war correspondents. And the greatest thanks go to the five million people who have donated to the 'Everything for Victory' fund. Thanks to their ongoing participation, we have been able to purchase everything necessary for Russian servicemen on the front line. Altogether, we have raised over 50 billion roubles. Of that amount, 24 billion came from ordinary citizens, with the average donation not exceeding 1,000 roubles. I believe that for many, these were not their last savings, but they certainly counted on them in their family budgets. Yet they made the choice to give that money to the guys on the front. I bow low to them, and offer my heartfelt thanks," said Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Executive Committee of the People's Front.
Over the past three years, the motto "Everything for Victory!" has united millions of patriots across the country. Standing shoulder to shoulder for a common victory are volunteers and engineers, military doctors and government employees, grassroots militias, ordinary pensioners, and major entrepreneurs. Everyone contributes — from a handmade camouflage net to an armoured vehicle or an electronic warfare system delivered to the front line.
The work under the motto "Everything for Victory!" has become a truly nationwide effort: over three years, people from across Russia have provided support to more than 500 military units, delivering thousands of quadcopters, scopes, generators, and other essential equipment. Since the start of the campaign, more than 130 fundraising drives have been launched, bringing together people of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, and professions to support the soldiers. Among those who helped spread the word and deliver aid were television presenters, war correspondents and journalists, artists and musicians, athletes and politicians. This nationwide support has helped the soldiers feel that the entire country stands behind them.
"Today, all the most dedicated people have gathered here — those thanks to whom the soldiers on the front line have received more than 13,000 quadcopters and much other essential equipment and gear needed at the line of contact. We are grateful to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which, on the President’s instructions, is procuring vehicles. The People's Front has managed to organise the delivery of 6,000 new vehicles, purchased by the Ministry, to the military. From the very beginning of the special military operation, a humanitarian mission has been operating to support residents of the new regions of Russia. In the early days, aid was given literally from hand to hand, but now it is a fully functioning system that unites 12 logistics centres across eight regions. Tens of thousands of people are involved in volunteer work — we are always the first to step in to tackle the most difficult challenges. After the terrorist attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region in August 2024, a humanitarian headquarters was set up within 24 hours," said Vladimir Taranenko, Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of the People's Front and Head of the Youth Wing of the People's Front.
The vehicles supplied by the Ministry of Industry and Trade are equipped with additional gear, and the People's Front hands them over to the Russian Armed Forces. Over the past three years, the military has received thousands of units of equipment — UAZs, Niva vehicles, other types of automobiles and motor vehicles. Some of the vehicles were specially modified at the ChechenAvto plant. In addition, using funds raised by concerned citizens, the People's Front has delivered more than 2,400 motorcycles, 1,600 quad bikes, 70 buggies, over 1,000 watercraft, and 700 units of specialised equipment to Russian servicemen, along with over 11,500 sights and monoculars, and 4,500 generators.
To ensure that servicemen on the front line receive the most up-to-date innovations, the People's Front’s Kulibin Club identifies and supports them across the country. Dozens of types of unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic intelligence and electronic warfare systems have been tested at training grounds and in combat zones, and after undergoing upgrades, they are helping our soldiers bring victory closer.
"At present, more than 70 types and models of products have been supplied to the troops (strike and reconnaissance UAVs, ground-based robotic systems, EW Intel systems, EW equipment, unmanned surface vessels). Thanks to the efforts of the military and the People's Front, around fifty high-tech independent teams have been formed that are capable of serial production and solving advanced tasks," said Alexander Panichev, Head of the People's Front’s Kulibin Club.
Among the devices supported by the Kulibin Club are "Courier" ground-based robotic systems, capable of engaging enemy targets, laying mines, and conducting evacuation missions. One of the first kamikaze drones with machine vision, "Ovod," has also been tested on the front line with support from the People's Front. Great attention is paid to the protection of soldiers: a batch of "Rubin" modular EW systems has been delivered to protect infantry and vehicles.
The People's Front contributes to the fight against the enemy not only on the front line but also on the information front. More than 60,000 cyber volunteers are making their contribution to Russia’s information security. Every day, activists from the youth team of the Presidential movement work to block social media groups spreading fakes, disinformation, and attempts to discredit the Russian Armed Forces, as well as promoting Nazi ideology and inciting suicide. In cooperation with Roskomnadzor, more than 5,000 harmful and deceitful communities have been identified and blocked.
"The 'Radar.NF' emergency response app we developed for reporting sightings of unmanned aerial vehicles is already installed on the phones of over one million Russians. Recently, we integrated it into the 'Titan' system, which is used by transport security personnel across the country," said Mikhail Kamyshev, representative of the People's Front and head of the "Radar.NF" app development project.
The People's Front pays special attention to supporting military medics by providing them with thoroughly tested and refined equipment, gear, and consumables that meet the conditions of the front line. Modern vehicles, medical equipment, and essential medications are supplied to ensure that doctors can effectively save lives even in the most challenging environments.
The forum programme includes a ceremonial event with a concert, during which government officials, artists and public figures will present the "Everything for Victory!" award to those who have helped participants of the special military operation, their families, veterans and civilians from the new and border regions.
Additionally, the forum will host an exposition dedicated to the outcomes of the "Everything for Victory!" project, the humanitarian mission in support of Donbass and Novorossiya, the achievements of the Kulibin Club, and the People's Regiments — volunteer communities that produce essential items for those on the front line and in military hospitals.
