Volunteering is a collective effort—we all need to contribute every day! Our entire team stands by this belief. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, you, our viewers and readers, have helped raise over 50 million hryvnias for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We are deeply grateful for every donation!

Through joint efforts, Espreso, together with volunteers from partner organizations and charitable foundations, has sent 39 vehicles, numerous drones, electronic warfare systems, surveillance equipment, protective gear, and much more to the frontline.

During the cold season, we team up with colleagues and friends to prepare vitamin blends for our defenders through our Volunteer Kitchen initiative.

"Bringing Ukraine closer to victory by supporting our soldiers is both an honor and a civic duty. Assisting our defenders on the frontline is a key focus for Espreso. Our colleagues, friends, and loved ones are at war, and we will do everything we can to support them," said Espreso CEO Kateryna Yermolovych.

On the eve of the New Year, the command of the 76th Battalion, 102nd Brigade, awarded Kateryna Yermolovych for her volunteer work and continuous support and assistance.

Kateryna Yermolovych expressed her gratitude to our soldiers for the opportunity to work, learn, and live. “The war continues, and our troops tirelessly defend us, so we must not stop supporting them. Together, we are strong! Every hryvnia, every effort matters greatly,” she added.

Espreso most significant campaigns in 2024 to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces included:

  • A fundraising campaign was held in collaboration with the Iryna Koval Charity Foundation to support the 141st Separate Infantry Brigade, which is carrying out tasks in the Zaporizhzhia direction. Radios, batteries, Starlink devices, binoculars, rangefinders, periscopes, drone detection devices, and other equipment were purchased.
  • The fighters of the 12th Separate Special Purpose Detachment received buggies for evacuating the wounded. In less than a month, we raised 480,000 UAH.  
  • Over 2.1 million UAH was raised for the soldiers of the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade Holonyi Yar.  Quad bikes were sent to the front for evacuating the wounded and transporting ammunition.
  • Nearly 4 million UAH was raised to purchase 163 drones and 2 Mavics for the Sapsan UAV platoon within the 93rd Brigade.  The initiative was supported by the Petro Poroshenko Foundation, which doubled the amount raised by our viewers.
  •  In November, a large fundraising campaign was completed in partnership with the Vesna charity foundation, raising 3.5 million UAH in 3.5 months.  
  • Modern drones and electronic warfare systems were delivered to the soldiers of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, and the 110th and 47th Brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.  
  • We raised 4 million UAH for drones for the strike UAV unit of the 76th Battalion, 102nd Separate Brigade.

Besides helping on the frontline, for the third winter in a row, Espreso staff have been organizing a volunteer kitchen to make vitamin mixes for the troops, helping to support and warm them during the fall and winter months.

Espreso TV's office turns into volunteer kitchen twice a month.
