Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy and his football club “Rukh” (Lviv) once again came to the aid of the soldiers of the 45th separate artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.Ukrainian soldiers received batteries and, chargers, tires for cars and buses. And also – lubricants and auto parts for cars and trucks.

“Thank you to Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, the management of the Rukh football club and all the guys involved. Our cooperation has been going on for a long time. She is very helpful to the boys who are currently in the east. Because we receive all these things as quickly as possible, and this significantly increases the combat capacity of our soldiers. And this time, what you are transferring today will arrive in the east tomorrow,” emphasised Markiyan Lopachak, junior lieutenant of the 45th separate artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He added that most of these are spare parts for cars because they break extremely quickly – bad roads and shelling cause rubber to deteriorate and tires get punctured. Therefore – constant repairs. The lives of our soldiers depend on how well the cars drive and how well they are in good condition, and this increases the combat effectiveness of our units.

General Director of Lviv FC “Rukh” Ihor Dedyshyn especially emphasised: “With the next batch of aid to our military, we confirm that we do not stop and do not get tired. We understand that it is essential now. They say that good things love silence, but we make our help public because we believe that it will be a certain signal both for society and for the Armed Forces of Ukraine so that everyone is convinced that we have a serious rear, which keeps its finger on the pulse, always is nearby, at arm’s length and ready to help everyone on their front. This signals to entrepreneurs, philanthropists and ordinary people that everyone should participate and help our military bring our Victory closer.”

By the way, Ukrainian gunners will soon receive Poseidon drones from the Rukh football club.

With this in mind, M. Lopachak said: “Now the boys are completing their studies. I think that soon these wings will be transferred directly to work. In addition to the Poseidons, also thanks to the Rukh football club, we received other unmanned aerial vehicles, and another group of military personnel is currently training on them.”

According to him, drones for artillery are eyes. “How good are these eyes? How well can we see the enemy? How precisely can we work on him? Accordingly, there will be a better result. This is a critical help. I think that soon we can demonstrate the quality of this work,” noted M. Lopachak.

In response, the Ukrainian defenders-artillerists handed over the battle flag of their brigade to the “Rukh” football club for numerous help and support.

“This flag will hang in the most prominent place. We are very proud of it. The battle flag will become one of the symbols of the club. It will occupy the most honourable place at our base so that every day every child who works at the “Rukh” academy, every football player, every club employee, and every guest. Everyone sees it and understands what time we live in and why this flag is here,” I. Dedyshyn especially emphasised.
