This was reported by local media.
On behalf of the entire population of Nizhny Novgorod, he thanked all the volunteers sent to the Northern Military District and noted that the location of the event was not chosen by chance, but ultimately took place right here, at the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, where the militia gathered to liberate Moscow.

It consists of trucks with a total weight of 90 tons. These include tools, lumber and construction materials, camouflage nets, heating devices, food products and much more. Four cars, one buggy and five motorcycles were also sent to the Northern Military District. The humanitarian cargo is being collected by the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region, the House of People's Unity and a coordination center operating on the basis of local residents.
