As the war continues, Ukraine has gained immense practical expertise in demining, becoming an unlikely but vital center of innovation in this life-saving field. Our team is committed not only to supplying equipment but to helping develop and test the tools of tomorrow. Between April and June 2025, Prytula Foundation USA and Ukraine Rises supported certified field testing of two cutting-edge technologies for humanitarian demining in Kharkiv Oblast: the ZMIY robotic demining complex and the ST1 aerial reconnaissance drone. Tests were conducted by the national operator “Humanitarian Security” across real contaminated sites and evaluated under IMAC protocol standards. This effort aimed to assess technical performance, field readiness, and potential for scalable integration into humanitarian mine action (HMA) activities.

On April 25, 2025, the Hospitallers Medical Battalion's base in Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk region, was destroyed in a russian drone strike. Overnight, the place that had served as a gathering and deployment point for medics since 2015 where they trained, equipped, and headed out to save lives ceased to exist. Vital medical equipment and vehicles were lost in the attack. In response, we launched a memorial fundraiser to honor the life and legacy of Iryna "Cheka" Tsybukh, a paramedic, warrior, and unshakable force for good. Together, we raised $19,000 to help rebuild what was lost.

As the war in Ukraine rages on, critical infrastructure continues to be hit hard, leaving communities cut off and humanitarian operations stretched thin. That’s why we’ve stepped up once again. Through our Logistics and Transportation projects, we’ve purchased and deployed 43 vehicles to ensure aid gets where it’s needed most and responders stay mobile in the toughest conditions.

As 2025 moves forward, the war in Ukraine continues to create huge challenges for people on the ground. Communities are struggling, and getting basic supplies to those in need is harder than ever. That’s why we’ve stepped up, securing 50 vehicles to keep humanitarian aid moving where it’s needed most. Here’s what we’ve put on the road: Volkswagen Transporter – 12 Mitsubishi L200 – 11 JEEP PATRIOT – 10 Volkswagen Amarok – 6 Toyota Hilux – 3 Iveco M752 – 2 MAN TGM03 – 1 Krone AZ – 1 Coachman Amara – 1 Ford Ranger – 1 Isuzu Rodeo – 1 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter – 1

To address the urgent need for communication, power, and technology in frontline communities, we have successfully delivered essential equipment through a humanitarian initiative. This project provided 112 laptops, 75 Starlink kits, 75 inverter generators, 75 portable power stations, and 75 3D printers, offering critical support to thousands of individuals striving to stay connected, coordinate aid, and rebuild during the ongoing conflict.

As 2025 begins, the war in Ukraine continues to create significant challenges for those living in affected regions. In response to the growing humanitarian needs, we acquired and deployed 46 versatile vehicles, including models like Iveco, VW Caddy, VW Transporter, Krone, and Ford in December 2024. These vehicles will help deliver essential resources, support emergency operations, and provide reliable transportation in areas where it’s needed most.
