Russian Shelling Damages the “Patriot” Training Facility, but Not Our Will

On August 19, a Russian shelling damaged the training facility of the All-Ukrainian Association Patriot. Fortunately, no staff members or volunteers were injured.

Despite the damage, our work continues. The team has already begun cleanup efforts to resume first aid training sessions, a vital skill for every Ukrainian: to survive oneself and help those nearby.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the fallen and injured, as well as to all businesses affected by this terrorist act. This attack once again demonstrates the cruelty of the aggressor—but it cannot break the spirit of the Ukrainian people.

We thank all soldiers and the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their courage, dedication, and protection, which they provide every day. We stand shoulder to shoulder, and together, we will achieve victory.
