Pickups for Ukrainian Defenders. April 2022

A full-scale russian invasion has forced Ukraine to increase the number of regular Armed Forces, as well as establish the Territorial Defense Forces. This requires significant additional funding and equipment. International technical assistance is immense, but not sufficient.A newly created unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kyiv Region experienced a lack of PPE, vehicles, optics, and clothes. The leadership of the Unit prioritized the need for transportation and addressed Yellowblue Force Foundation with a clear rationale and technical characteristics.Within 3 days our team communicated the request to partners outside of Ukraine and found a private donor in Slovakia, who funded the sourcing of 3 Nissan Navara pickup trucks. We selected three identical pickups according to the request: 5 seats, four-wheel drive, manual transmission, mud tires, diesel engine - exactly what defenders need on the front line. Volunteers from the Yellowblue Force Foundation team successfully collected and transported the pickups from Slovakia to Ukraine and handed them over to the Armed Forces Unit.The Ukrainian Defenders expressed their gratitude to the donor and the Yellowblue Force Foundation team. In particular, the Unit appreciated the prompt locating and delivery of the vehicles in line with the requested characteristics. These particular vehicles have been used for the de-occupation of the Kyiv Region.We, at Yellowblue Force Foundation, transform each donation into a tangible result.

The largest diesel generator is delivered to Cherkasy

The largest diesel generator as part of the "Light for Hospitals" project has already been delivered to Cherkasy. It is the largest because its maximum power is 44 kW, it weighs 1170 kg (without fuel), and spans more than 2 m in length and 1.5 m in height.It was received by the Cherkasy Regional Centre for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The hospital specializes in infectious diseases which are still relevant in times of war. We believe that a generator of such power will better meet the needs of doctors and patients.The medical facilities’ need for generators remains high.

Five more medical facilities received generators with capacities of 24 to 32 kW! 

Because of persistent russian shelling of energy infrastructure objects, it is essential to provide medical facilities with backup power sources. Even a short-term power outage for one reason or another can cause the equipment to shut down, which can be fatal for patients in intensive care or operating rooms. This time, supported by the global biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and in cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, we delivered generators with a capacity of 24 to 32 kW to five oblast medical institutions. AstraZeneca donated more than UAH 1,984,000 in total.  For example, we provided a generator to a bacteriological research laboratory in the Sumy hospital. Medical facilities in the Odesa oblast, Kharkiv city, and 2 medical institutions in the Dnipropetrovsk oblast also received generators. The need for generators in hospitals is growing.

Hospitals in the frontline Mykolaiv Oblast received two generators

Yellowblue Force Foundation (YBF) delivered two Wattstream diesel generators of medium power 20-30 kW to hospitals in the frontline Mykolaiv region.Since the beginning of the full-scale war only in the Mykolaiv region more than 300 people have died, more than 3,700 infrastructure objects have been destroyed or destroyed as a result of hostilities, and due to the damage to the water supply by the Russian invaders, the regional center of Mykolaiv has been without water supply for almost 3 months.In the context of constant shelling and threats of missile strikes, it is extremely important to ensure the uninterrupted operation of health care facilities in the frontline areas, so that doctors can continue to provide qualified medical care both to defenders and civilians.Providing hospitals with backup power sources has been one of YBF’s priorities, which we implement in close cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. We monitor the needs of healthcare institutions and provide them with targeted support.Thanks to our donor, now hospitals in the Mykolaiv region have two diesel generators, and thanks to the supplier "Hited Ukraine" LLC these generators are also mobile. We believe that even in the event of power supply problems, doctors in the Mykolaiv region will be able to continue saving lives.We are working on two more projects to supply generators for the needs of the Ukraine’s healthcare system and we invite everyone who cares to join us.Every contribution is important and brings Ukraine's victory closer.
