OLENA SOSYEDKA RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE OF UKRAINE RUSTEM UMEROV

On April 1, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov awarded the co-founder of the Charity Exchange "DobroDiy" Olena Sosyedka with the "Cross of Honor" award for her significant personal contribution in providing comprehensive assistance to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, active volunteering in martial law conditions.

The liberation war of the Ukrainian army against the russian occupiers continues. For more than two years since the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, helping the Defense Forces has become a matter of life for many of our compatriots. We also had to rethink our work in charity and allocate maximum resources to the cause of honor.

Charity Exchange "DobroDiy" unceasingly supports defenders of Ukraine in the hottest spots. No one wanted this, but at a certain point, helping the Ukrainian military turned into a priority area of our organization's work.

During this time, we managed to manage and satisfy more than 550 requests for a total amount of over UAH 90,900,000. You can find out details about reports and transfers to the military using the hashtag #доброЗСУ.
