From the beginning of Russia's large-scale aggression, Vlad decided that it was impossible to stand aside from this situation and, from the first days, joined in supporting Ukraine. At the initial stage, together with other volunteers, he concentrated on supporting the military and TRO units, initially supplying walkie-talkies, medicines, and other protective equipment. During the first 3 weeks of the war, more than 1,000 walkie-talkies were delivered, and 5 courses were made to the Ukrainian border. Over the next few months, it was possible to manufacture, deliver to Ukraine and distribute more than 600 bulletproof vests to end users. More about the project here.
