Mission — to Save Lives: 450 Deployments to the Front by Valeriy Dubil and the Youth Initiative Charitable Foundation "Nadiya"

The Youth Initiative Charitable Foundation “Nadiya,” together with Valeriy Dubil, chair of the foundation’s supervisory board and first deputy chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Health, Medical Care, and Medical Insurance, have been helping servicemembers, medics, and wounded defenders since the first days of the full-scale invasion. During that time the foundation’s team has carried out about 450 missions to the front.

“Ukraine is fighting for its future. And supporting the military, medics, and people affected by the war is everyone’s duty. From the first days of the invasion we’ve been where it’s hardest, because our mission is to save lives. And we do it with faith — in God, in Ukraine, and in Ukrainians,” — Valeriy Dubil.

The missions’ geography covers the Lviv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. Aid was delivered to Kharkiv, Izyum, Balakliia, and Druzhkivka, and to units on the Lyman, Sloviansk, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk directions. It was received by fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate, the National Guard, border guards, and combat units of the National Police.

“We pass along specific requests and receive what’s needed on the positions — communications, charging stations, drone detectors. This equipment is used daily and helps save fighters’ lives. 450 trips to the front are serious work. Thanks to the whole team that does it,” — Oleksiy Serediuk, commander of the “Bratstvo” special unit.

Equipment is delivered to the front per military requests — vehicles, electronic warfare systems, drone detectors, ground robotic complexes, Starlink terminals, charging stations, and generators. To save wounded during evacuation and at stabilization points they provide Easy Pulse devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

“The rear and the Defense Forces rest on people like these. Thank you for your empathy and love for Ukraine,” — said Hero of Ukraine Vladyslav Stotsky after delivering aid to the military.

More than 1000 medical institutions across Ukraine have received aid from the foundation: frontline hospitals, military hospitals, stabilization points, operating rooms, and intensive care units. They were given ventilators, patient monitors, X-ray and ultrasound equipment, surgical instruments, medications, and consumables.

Since the first days of the large-scale war, the Nadiya Foundation and Valeriy Dubil have supported Mechnikov Hospital in Dnipro, whose medics have saved more than 55 thousand lives. The facility received ambulances, operating tables, Easy Pulse devices, equipment for mechanical ventilation, surgical systems, and medical cargo. “Our mission is to defeat death. The most severely wounded are brought to us, and 95% of the fighters who arrived here during the war were saved,” — said the hospital’s CEO Serhiy Ryzhenko.

The foundation supports defenders after injury as well. Under the “Scooters for Heroes” program, together with the Christian Corps they delivered more than 200 electric scooters to veterans with amputations. “Nadiya” cooperates with prosthetics and rehabilitation centers, supports veteran sports, and more than 200 veterans have already completed free training in IT professions.

Valeriy Dubil and the Nadiya foundation team continue to work with the military, medics, and partners toward a shared goal — saving lives.

As a reminder, for Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Day the Youth Initiative Charitable Foundation “Nadiya,” together with the foundation’s supervisory board chair and first deputy chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Health Valeriy Dubil, the foundation’s president Vita Prisyazhniuk, and partners reviewed their support for the GUR of the Ministry of Defense’s “Timur Special Unit.” Since the beginning of the year they have delivered more than 650 units of equipment and hardware to the intelligence personnel.
