12/07/16 By helping each other, we help Ukraine

We did a small but really important thing. We helped a guy who was injured defending all of us during the fighting in eastern Ukraine.

Maxim Kokun is a guy who was one of the first to go to defend his homeland in difficult times as part of the Volunteer Battalions. He went through Dokuchaevsk, Maryinka, Volnovakha and, finally, Ilovaisk...

During a reconnaissance mission, he was seriously wounded by a shell that exploded nearby. Maksym's leg was blown off. For almost 16 hours, they tried to get him to a medical centre.

Maksym survived. But the authorities, as is not uncommon, were in no hurry to help in return. The "battle" with the bureaucratic machine lasted almost a year just for the right to be recognised as an active serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Now Maksym is full of energy and determined to return to normal life. We, for our part, decided to help him in some way and presented him with a special exercise machine.

We do not forget about those who have not forgotten their dignity!
