Helping the Ukrainian army in 2014-2015.

When the war in the east began in 2014, we had neither military experience nor connections. All we had was work that earned money. So we started giving part of our earnings to the army.

We helped through people we trusted. In particular, through Yurii Biriukov's Wings of Phoenix foundation, which supplied the 79th Brigade and other units.

Over time, charity tours were added: guests paid for equipment for the military and delivered it to the front line themselves. This was the first time tourism became a way for us to help the front. Eight years later, this experience would be needed again.
