eVidnovlennia (“eRebuild”) is a Ukrainian government scheme that allows some people to claim compensation for damaged homes.
This conversation took place in February 2024. Since then, the new Russian assault on Kharkiv Oblast led Kseniia to reorient the focus of her attention to FPV drone production for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
