“We cannot relax”: Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy calls on business to actively support the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Thanks to his financial support, a significant amount of technical equipment was purchased
The founder of the Ruh football club and Academy, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy, received a commemorative award “For Assistance” from the 45th Separate Artillery Brigade named after General Myron Tarnavsky. The award was presented to the philanthropist by Brigade Commander Oleh Faidyuk as a sign of gratitude for his systematic assistance and significant contribution to the defense capability of the Ukrainian army.
Recognizing Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy’s contribution to Ukraine’s defense capability
The commander of the 45th Air Assault Brigade, Oleh Faidyuk, emphasized that in the context of a prolonged war, support from every citizen and business representative is critically important. According to him, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy’s contribution has become a significant factor in strengthening the artillery’s technical base.
“Our enemy has been threatening us not for a hundred or even two hundred years – this threat is constant. Now Ukraine is at war, so everyone must support their homeland. I am honored to award Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy with the honorary award of our brigade. The entire personnel is grateful to Hryhoriy Petrovych for his contribution to the defense capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole,” said Oleg Faidyuk during the presentation.
Position of the Ruh founder on systemic assistance to the front
Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy noted that helping the army is a duty that will not stop until Ukraine’s complete victory. He emphasized that business has no right to get used to the war or slow down its support for the defenders.
“It is nice to receive such awards, but it is better to live in a peaceful country. I would like to call on businessmen and all Ukrainians once again: we cannot relax. We must constantly support our defenders to bring victory closer. Only through joint efforts will we be able to defeat the enemy,” emphasized Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy.
This award is another proof that the path of the “yellow and black” family is the right one. With the “Badge of Honor” from the Ministry of Defense and the award from Valeriy Zaluzhny, Hryhoriy Kozlovsky continues to stay in touch with the soldiers 24/7.
A large-scale charity initiative: UAH 2 million for the 45th Artillery Brigade
The assistance to the 45th Brigade is regular. In particular, on New Year’s Eve, Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy and Emily Resort transferred UAH 2 million to the artillerymen. This amount was part of an annual charity initiative that has been implemented for three years in a row.
The funds were accumulated through New Year’s events at Emily Resort. Thanks to this financial support, a significant amount of technical equipment has already been purchased and delivered to the military:
- two ground control stations for UAVs;
- additional equipment for unmanned systems;
- a lavet for the transportation of heavy machinery;
- rechargeable batteries and charging stations;
- five sets of tires for automotive vehicles;
- 13 special guns to destroy enemy drones.
Hryhoriy Kozlovskyy and FC Ruh continue to coordinate their efforts with military units, responding promptly to requests from the front and providing the defenders with the necessary modern equipment.
