What we do

We run several projects dedicated to supporting the defenders of Ukraine. These initiatives are organised into three key areas—Defend, Survive, and Recover—each focused on providing essential resources that help protect, aid, and restore the well-being of those who serve.

Make selection:

Retreats for widows and children

We support Dreamers UA, a Ukrainian NGO that organises healing camps for children of fallen defenders and restorative retreats for widows. Together, we help families who have sacrificed so much to regain their strength, resilience, and hope — both physically and emotionally.

Blood bank

Ukraine’s blood services are fragmented, leaving many patients—from mothers and children to wounded soldiers—without timely transfusions. Even before the war, two-thirds of patients lacked access to the blood they needed. Thanks to Protect Ukraine, funding is now being provided to address this critical shortage.

Ambulances

Ambulances enable medics to treat and quickly evacuate wounded soldiers and civilians, radically increasing survival chances in combat zones.

Support for veterans venter

Training equipment for the rehabilitation of military veterans.

EMDR equipment

We deliver EMDR therapy equipment to provide effective treatment for PTSD and help reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Drone training for veterans

We provide drone training for veterans, helping them apply their skills in vital, modern military roles and continue to contribute to Ukraine’s defence.

Evacuation robots

Protect Ukraine has teamed up with Ukraine’s General Staff and a drone manufacturer to develop an armoured ground robot for the save evacuation of wounded soldiers under fire. Equipped with medical monitoring and communication tools, this robot reduces the dangers medics face from Russian attacks. The design has now been approved, a prototype is currently being tested, and serial production

Trauma packs

Every convoy we send includes trauma kits for Ukrainian forces, including a tourniquet, chest seals, haemostatic gauze, and an emergency bandage — essential for treating severe bleeding and lung injuries. Due to shortages on the front line, every service member has to carry such kits.

Combat medic training (TCCC)

Ukraine needs to significantly expand its training capacity for the use of trauma kits (Combat Medic Training – TCCC). Every soldier needs to complete this training before entering a combat zone, as it dramatically increases the chances of survival for the wounded.

Helmets and vests

Many soldiers are still inadequately equipped with helmets and protective vests. For example, not many soldiers have helmets compatible with communication headsets.

Jammers

To reduce the effectiveness of drones, we need to disrupt their radio and GPS signals. This can be achieved using signal jammers.

Anti-drone nets

Drones can also be captured by stretching fishing nets between trees or across roads — especially those undetectable drones that use fibre-optic cables. Traditional fishing nets are currently the only effective countermeasure. Instead of exploding, the drones become entangled and are safely caught in the netting.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are essential for transportation, logistics and mobility on the front line, especially in terrain where cars struggle to operate.

SUVs and pickups

The military has to secure its own SUVs and pickup trucks, which are essential for transportation, logistics, and mobility on the front line.

Mobile shower units

Research indicates that poor hygiene and lack of sleep are major contributors to depression and low morale among soldiers. Protect Ukraine is providing mobile shower and laundry units to improve soldiers’ hygiene, sleep and morale, with several Ukrainian brigades and regiments set to receive them soon.
