From Starlink to resuscitation equipment: the Nadya Foundation and Christian Corps delivered aid to defenders of Kharkiv region

The head of the supervisory board of the charitable fund for youth initiative “Nadiya” (Hope), Valeriy Dubil, a member of parliament, and the fund’s team led by Vitta Prisyazhnyuk, along with the Christian Corps, carried out a 457 mission to Ukrainian defenders in Kharkiv region. The military personnel received charging stations, Starlink terminals, and drone detectors, and combat medics received equipment for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Particular attention was given to supporting wounded service members who need rehabilitation and prosthetics.

The mission was organized with the support of partners Artem Chaplygine, Anton Bahur, Oleg Krot, and Ihor Huda.

Equipment for combat units on the Kharkiv front.

During the trip, aid was received by servicemen of the 81-st separate air assault brigade, the 3-st separate assault brigade, and the 50-st separate mechanized brigade, as well as the border detachment named after Yevheniy Pikusa.

Units were provided with charging stations, Starlink satellite communication terminals, and drone detectors. This equipment is necessary to ensure autonomous power supply, maintain a stable connection, and promptly detect air threats.

The aid handover was organized in accordance with the needs of the military units operating on the Kharkiv front.

About 20 resuscitation devices for military medics.

A separate area of the Hope Foundation’s work remains the “Resuscitation on the Frontline” program, aimed at equipping combat medics with specialized equipment.

As part of the program for evacuation vehicles and stabilization points, the 1-st separate medical battalion received about 20 Easy Pulse devices for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

This medical unit provides assistance to service members along a front line of about 150 kilometers, covering the needs of four army corps.

Easy Pulse devices allow mechanical chest compressions during resuscitation. They can be used in evacuation transport and at stabilization points, including underground.

Thanks to automation of compressions, medics can simultaneously perform other urgent procedures necessary to aid the wounded.

Over 300 electric scooters for wounded defenders.

Another area of the 457 mission was the support of service members undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after injuries.

As part of a joint program by the Hope Foundation and the Christian Corps, “Scooters for Heroes,” electric transport was delivered to Kharkiv hospitals where Ukrainian servicemen are treated, as well as to defenders of the 225-st assault regiment.

The electric scooters are intended to ease the movement of service members who have limited mobility due to injuries.

In total, since the program began, participants have received more than 300 units of such transport.

Valeriy Dubil, head of the Hope Foundation’s supervisory board and first deputy chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health, emphasized that support for the military should cover not only provision for combat units but also assistance to medics and the wounded.

“On the front, you need connectivity, power supply, and means to detect enemy drones. Combat medics need equipment to save lives. Wounded defenders need the opportunity to recover and regain independence. That’s why during our trips we work with combat units, medics, and veterans,” stated Valeriy Dubil.

Free prosthetics for military personnel with amputations.

During visits to Kharkiv hospitals, representatives of the charitable fund and the Christian Corps also told wounded service members about opportunities to participate in the free prosthetics program.

The initiative is implemented in cooperation with MCOP Ukraine and the Future for Ukraine charitable foundation.

The program provides the manufacture and individual adjustment of upper and lower limb prostheses in accordance with the needs of each service member.

The first veterans from Kyiv and Chernihiv regions who joined the program with the help of the Hope Foundation and the Christian Corps are already undergoing prosthetics.

Organizers aim to expand access for wounded defenders to specialized assistance necessary for restoring mobility and returning to everyday life.

Continuation of cooperation among volunteers, military personnel, and benefactors.

The Kharkiv trip continued the agreements reached during the first Coordination Meeting of the Christian Corps, held in 9 October in Kyiv.

Then representatives of the Corps, the Hope Foundation, military unit commanders, volunteers, business representatives, and representatives of foreign charitable organizations discussed further mechanisms for collecting and delivering aid to Ukrainian defenders.

Participants at the meeting agreed to coordinate efforts according to the specific requests of military units and medical divisions.

This cooperation includes supplying technical equipment to perform combat tasks, equipping medics with resuscitation devices, and supporting service members undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after injuries.

The 457-th mission to the Kharkiv direction became another stage of this work, uniting aid to combat units, military medicine, and wounded defenders.

As a reminder, StopKor previously reported the transfer of about 20 resuscitation devices Easy Pulse to the 1-st separate medical battalion. The equipment was provided by the Hope Foundation and the Christian Corps with support from Valeriy Dubil, Oleg Krot, and partners within the framework of the “Resuscitation on the Frontline” program.

StopKor also wrote about the “Scooters for Heroes” program run by the Christian Corps and the Hope Foundation. In August 2026, benefactors delivered another batch of electric scooters to one of the hospitals in Vinnytsia for soldiers undergoing treatment and rehabilitation.
