Players help Ukraine during the war.
Footballers of Dynamo Kyiv Georgy Bushchan, Sergei Sidorchuk, Nikolai Shaparenko and Shakhtar Donetsk players Taras Stepanenko, Nikolai Matvienko and Sergei Krivtsov have set up a military and humanitarian aid fund.
“We unite and help each other for the victory of Ukraine. Today, together with Taras Stepanenko, Sergei Sidorchuk, Nikolai Matvienko, Nikolai Shaparenko and Sergei Krivtsov, we decided to talk about our foundation. At first, everyone helped with their own hands, but over time divided into two parts: humanitarian and military.
We collect inquiries from all over Ukraine and pass them on to proven people in Spain and Italy – now these are our main partners, perhaps the geography will expand later. Then logistics are organized to transport things to Ukraine, which is not easy now, but nothing is impossible for Ukrainians. Our heroes prove it every day, “Bushchan wrote on Instagram.
It is reported that 500 Ifak aids first aid kits, 50 bulletproof vests (4+ protection) and 5 thermal imagers have already been purchased.
We will remind, on February 24 the president of the Russian Federation Putin made the urgent statement on carrying out special military operation in the territory of Ukraine, having begun large-scale invasion of the Ukrainian cities.
