UAH 15 Million to Mark the 15th Anniversary of Yalantis: a Project to Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine

This year, the Ukrainian IT company Yalantis is celebrating its 15th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the 15×15 project was created to provide the Armed Forces with at least UAH 15 million worth of the most necessary supplies. The “Come back alive” foundation has already received UAH 10 million, in particular for the needs of the newly formed 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade. Over the next 5 months, Yalantis is going to donate a million per month to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.  

“We were very delighted to meet the newly formed 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade from our Dnipropetrovs’k region since they are our countrymen and need literally everything. It automatically maximizes the payoff for every hryvnia spent, as the most urgent essentials are purchased. Our contribution will help to supply them with several dozens of different drones, Starlinks, tablets, walkie-talkies, batteries, charging stations, etc.” – comments Oleksandr Kholodov, the CEO at Yalantis. 

“Our brigade is being trained to go into action. It is a common thing to ‘go to zero’ first, and only then to be equipped. However, we were lucky. I would like to emphasize the importance of aerial reconnaissance, as it is the eyes of the army. In my opinion, 90% of the war today is about UAVs and artillery.” – says Heorhiy, the Head of the UAV service at the 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade.

The 15×15 project is not the first company’s social activity since the full-scale invasion.

“Since the beginning of the all-out war, we have managed to accumulate about UAH 17 million from the company and UAH 7 million from our specialists as part of the volunteer movement for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and IDPs. Over this time, we have been helping the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 39th Anti-aircraft Missile Regiment, the 3rd Assault Brigade, and the Separate Mechanized Infantry Battalion “Sarmat”. We have supplied them with transportation, body armor, helmets, UAVs, and many other things. We also funded the renovation of premises for internally displaced people,” – comments the CEO.
