In the early days of the unwanted conflict between Ukraine and Russia, there was a lot of media coverage about the airstrikes and how the attacks displaced 44.13 million people. However, the CNBC mentioned that 'the Ukraine conflict is heavily affecting some of Russia’s most capable units, said the U.K.’s Defence Ministry in its daily intelligence update. It added that it will “take considerable time and expense for Russia to reconstitute its armed forces.” However, the war is not over and no matter where you are here are a number of ways you can help refugees caught in the conflict.
This foundation launched in 2014, and became the biggest organization providing support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our fund supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine through financing purely defence initiatives. Since 2014 we have provided around 1000 thermal imagers and over 250 UAVs. In addition to the material support, we increased technological capabilities of the Army through providing 1,500 tablets with Armor software aimed at stopping the artillery. Come Back Alive also organizes trainings to equip our military with crucial skills. In 2015 we launched trainings for medical workers, artillerists, snipers, minesweepers, and defence analysts. After coming back from the front line, our military members have access to sport rehabilitation and veteran business opportunities. Their organization does not use funds for purchasing weapons. Any profits generated from donations help supply technology, trainings, and accouterments to help our warriors defend Ukraine and save the lives of its citizens.
