February 24, 2022 is a sad date that divided the flow of Ukrainian history into before and after.
The first step of the enemy’s boot on our land, the first rocket fired at our homes – left the theories of “fraternal nations” and “Russian peace” in the past, unbelievably united all layers of society in the fight against the enemy.
Frankly speaking, it is difficult to remember such a consolidation, because in one day all political quarrels were put an end to, hundreds of thousands of volunteers joined the ranks of the Armed Forces and territorial defense units, and the civilian front united in volunteer movements that ensure the supply of millions of tons of aid.
At the same time, the war tore off the masks from the faces and put everyone in their place – the majority of society remained on the side of good, but there were also those who took millions of looted funds, expensive cars and watches, openly supported the hostile actions of the aggressor, merged the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, marked them, or even went over to the side of the enemy. A standard situation for any war, which is a kind of purgatory for souls.
In the first part of the publication, we want to focus on those who help to win – volunteers. People with a broad soul and a big heart! No, we do not rank them by popularity or amount of aid, we only highlight their activities.
Since the annexation of Crimea and the occupation of Donbas, Serhiy Prytula has devoted himself to volunteer activities. The total volume of funds collected by him and the equipment purchased with them reaches tens of millions of dollars, while the volunteer projects created by him have never been at the epicenter of corruption or other scandals and deserve a high level of trust.
The last of Serhiy’s good deeds is the opening of a volunteer headquarters and the transfer of more than a hundred units of drones, including expensive ones specialized for the needs of the Armed Forces.
As a reminder, the details of the Serhiy Prytula charity fund: BO Charitable Foundation Serhiy Prytula

We cannot ignore the deputy of the Kolomyia City Council, Halyna Yaroslavivna Belya, who single-handedly organized a wonderful volunteer team, which, since the beginning of the war, managed to collect and deliver dozens of tons of humanitarian aid. In addition, taking into account the urgent needs of today, the in-house production of tactical equipment, which is in deserved demand in the military, has been started.
We would like to give a special place, among those who have shown true human qualities, to the creative periscope manufacturer Denys Silynnyk, who personally prints, assembles and sends such desperately needed products to the troops. And he does it absolutely free. During the war, Denis’s team managed to deliver more than 10,000 products and receive hundreds of positive reviews.
Of course, we should also mention the famous Ukrainian lawyer Kazbek Tadeev, who was remembered by many of us for his act when he dived into cold water and saved people in the city of Kyiv, but after the war, Kazbek openly expressed his pro-Ukrainian position, causing thousands of threats to his address from the side of the occupiers, and even compatriots, but he was not afraid and continues to defend our peace with you.
This list can be continued with hundreds and thousands of real Ukrainians, patriots of their homeland, among whom there are those who were born in Russia, but with the beginning of the military aggression in 2014 – voluntarily renounced the citizenship of the aggressor, moved to Ukraine and began to create dozens of jobs, actively engage in volunteer activities.
Among them, I would like to note the owner of multimillion-dollar enterprises in the EU, Asia, and Ukraine – the founder of the Vision company group, Dmytro Buryak. Since 2014, Dmytro has been actively financing numerous domestic projects, has openly expressed his position regarding Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and every day makes every effort to provide military units and build housing for refugees at his own expense.
This is the Spirit of Ukrainian patriotism, which unites hundreds of thousands of people of different faiths, nationalities, and places of birth with the sole goal of quickly defeating the enemy and ensuring peace and tranquility on our native Ukrainian land.
To be continued…
