The other day, sappers of the 250th engineering support center from the city of Nizhyn received:

The cost of this aid is UAH 10,793,470.4, of which UAH 10 million is a charitable contribution of the Aurora multimarket chain.

In August last year, the company launched the campaign "Let's save the future now."

Shop visitors donated to demining at the cash registers and received unique gifts for this.

Aurora supplemented all donations with her own funds. 

"The project "Save the future now" is very symbolic for us.

After all, buyers donated to the demining of Ukraine and received a unique gift for this - a tube with lids for preservation that survived the occupation in the Kherson region or a magnet made from a liberated Kherson lid.

The Aurora team is proud that, thanks to the partnership and the company's values, it is possible to unite people around charitable goals and help our defenders

," says

Taras Panasenko,

general director of the Aurora multimarket chain.

In total, the "Return Alive" Fund has already given aid to 106 engineering and sapper groups of the Armed Forces Support Forces within the framework of the "Let us live here" project.   

"As of February 2022, sappers of the Support Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces surveyed and cleared more than 17,000 hectares of agricultural land of mines and unexploded ordnance.

They are demining the de-occupied Kharkiv region and Kherson region, Mykolaiv region and Kyiv region.

And they also work on the front lines throughout the front line.

The pickups, equipment, and tools received under the project not only help them perform their daily tasks, but have also saved lives more than once

Viktoriya Dvoretska

, head of the instructional department of the Come Back Alive Foundation. 

The "Let's live here" initiative was launched by the Come Back Alive Foundation and the Kyivstar company in May 2023.

Its goal is to collect UAH 175 million to provide transportation and the most necessary equipment for 146 groups of sappers of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are working at the front or demining already liberated Ukrainian lands. 

So far, almost UAH 170 million has been collected for the project.
