In the Kyiv region, within the regional program “Kyiv Region — a Sports Region,” 2026-2027 years, 12 sets of specialized training equipment for adaptive sports were purchased with a total value of 5,3 million hryvnias. The equipment is intended primarily for veterans with disabilities as a result of injuries. One of these sets was handed over to the “Kvit Kalyna” complex, where veterans live and undergo recovery.

KV learned about this from a statement by Yaroslav Dobryansky.

“The specialized training equipment for adaptive-sport activities was handed over, purchased within the framework of the regional program ‘Kyiv Region — a Sports Region’ for 2026-2027 years… These simulators are designed primarily for veterans who have become disabled due to injuries and need special conditions for physical rehabilitation,” the post says.

According to reports, the equipment was transferred to the “Kvit Kalyny” complex during a visit by Yaroslav Dobryansky together with the Kyiv Oblast Governor’s Deputy Ivan Dobrovolskyi and the head of the Kyiv Oblast Youth and Sports Department Andriy Mykhaitchuk. The sports ground was organized with the support of the company “InterAthletics.”

Dobryansky said that the Kyiv Regional Council deputies supported the program to develop sports infrastructure and provided funding for the purchase of such complexes for the communities of the region.

In total, modern training equipment was purchased for 11 territorial communities. This refers to 12 sets for a total amount of 5,3 million hryvnias. The cost of one set is 445 thousand hryvnias.

“Each set includes 43 names of equipment and inventory, among which are multifunctional trainers, treadmills, exercise bikes, benches, dumbbells, barbells, and resistance bands,” noted Dobrovyansky.

According to him, the equipment will allow veterans to engage in strength and functional training directly in their communities.

Additionally, the Kyiv Oblast Council’s Communal Institution “Center of Adaptive and Mass Sports of Kyiv Region” received a Hyundai Staria vehicle. It was purchased with regional budget funds to transport veterans and family members to sports and mass events.

During the visit, officials also inspected the territory of “Kvit Kalyna,” the construction of residential buildings, and spoke with veterans already living in the complex.

According to Dobrovyansky, in the town, on the initiative of Andriy Zasukha and with the support of the charitable fund, the agro-firm “Svitanok” and the football club “Colossus,” 65 residential buildings for veterans and their families were built. He emphasized that state and regional budget funds for the construction of these houses were not involved.

He added that the development of adaptive sport and creating conditions for the rehabilitation of military personnel after injuries remain one of the directions of veteran policy in Kyiv region.

As a reminder, previously KV reported that in Kyiv region they presented the national initiative “Here They Honour Veterans,” which brings together veterans, business and authorities to support servicemen after returning to civilian life. As part of the project, a mobile app “Zakhyst+” was created, where facilities offering discounts, cashbacks, and special terms are collected. The app also provides contacts for support lines where veterans can obtain legal consultation and psychological assistance.
