Petro Shuklinov, a Ukrainian journalist, has been a volunteer raising money for the front lines ever since 2014. When the full-scale invasion started, Petro and his team raised over 10 mln UAH to buy vehicles for the army.
Together with his fellow journalist Mariia Ksondzyk, they have also launched a merch shop where they sell souvenirs made of destroyed russian aircraft with 85% of profit going to vehicle purchase. The idea arose from wanting to thank for all the donations and to make something in memory of the wreckage of enemy equipment, as a symbol that the enemy’s equipment on our land is blown to pieces.
Now, the team is launching an auto repair shop where war veterans will be employed. According to the Ministry of Veteran Affairs, after the victory, the number of veterans and their families in Ukraine will be at least 10%, and they will need job opportunities and a supportive environment. This is what Nesemos will be providing for them, along with the offers of a free repair for the veterans and a community hub with various events for veteran support.
