New collection for Ukraine launched on anniversary of 1968 invasion

The civic organisations Team4Ukraine and Gift for Putin have launched a new collection for Ukraine, on the eve of the 55th anniversary of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet-led troops. The collection is being promoted by a spot that uses an analogy with the 1968 invasion. Within hours of the collection’s launch people had donated hundreds of thousands of crowns. The money will be used to buy drones, night vision devices, anti-tank weapons and even equipment for a field hospital. Czechoslovakia was invaded by Soviet-led Warsaw Pact troops on August 21, 1968 with the aim of crushing democratic reforms in the country.
