  "account": "On his birthday, President Petro Poroshenko presented over forty light four-wheel-drive off-road buggies to the Ukrainian military, marking a unique tradition. The buggies, described as fast and maneuverable, will be utilized for various purposes such as evacuating wounded personnel, delivering essential supplies, and serving as mobile platforms for weapons. This initiative comes during a time when the nature of war has evolved, requiring new strategies and resources. Poroshenko celebrated his birthday in the Dnipropetrovsk region, joining representatives of twenty military units. Since 2014, he and his wife, Marina, have contributed nearly 9 billion hryvnias of their personal funds to support the Ukrainian military through the Poroshenko Foundation and the NGO Sprava Hromad. The assistance provided extends to over 200 brigades, regiments, and battalions across the front line. Poroshenko emphasized that the country must continue to endure and protect Ukraine, while acknowledging the ongoing commitment to their cause.",
