The event aims to show the strength and resilience of Ukraine\u2019s tech industry. To emphasize the IT sphere unity and willingness to go beyond being the country\u2019s economic backbone in these tough times, Lviv IT Cluster and JustAnswer joined the initiative to support the Boryviter school, which has already provided military training to over 1,000 soldiers in the following areas:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Military Topography Basics;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Military Radio Communication Basics;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Management of UAVs and Aerial Reconnaissance;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leadership Essentials for Sergeants and Officers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boriviter continues training soldiers who will go to the frontline soon and needs support. Therefore, Lviv IT Cluster and JustAnswer supported the initiative of the Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation and donated \u20b42,000,000. This step became part of large fundraising, which aims to collect \u20b48,000,000 to train\u00a0 thousands of military in different directions including drone pilots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cJustAnswer and the Arizae Foundation have donated many drones to Ukraine. Just like the US giving Ukraine HIMARS, these tools are much more effective when combined with high-quality teaching. Sometimes a single observation can save hundreds of lives, and proper training will increase the effectiveness of these drones. We hope our donation to Boryviter School will enable the Ukrainian forces to recon enemy positions better and save many lives,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> adds <\/span><b>Andy Kurtzig,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> CEO at JustAnswer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFrom the first day of the full-scale invasion, the community of Lviv IT Cluster implements a series of Victory projects, to help internally displaced persons, support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, strengthen the Air Force of Ukraine and improve the region\u2019s security. Each of these projects and the active involvement of companies in their implementation bring\u00a0 Ukraine\u2019s victory closer. I am convinced that such a significant donation will encourage others to support our military training,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">says <\/span><b>Stepan Veselovskyi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, CEO of the Lviv IT Cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The founder of the Fund, Serhiy Prytula, said that at first, his team bought only equipment. But now, the organization is actively working on education and training. After all, equipment in the hands of trained people becomes more efficient, works longer, and saves more lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn such a way people\u2019s donations work more effectively. We provide training in various spheres: from piloting drones and working with EW devices, to tactical medicines and military communications. A donation of <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u20b42<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> million from the Lviv IT Cluster will help us implement this project and train as much military personnel as possible.
