On 20 September, Oleh Meleshko, Director of the Foundation, held the first auction for Hello, Ukraine.

During a business networking event in Kyiv organised by Talan Events, Oleh invited guests to join the fundraising for EcoFlow charging stations for the 98th separate battalion of the 108th separate brigade of the Ukrainian Army's Special Forces. For the largest donation, a business networking participant received a bottle of wine from Bakhmut.

“Holding an auction is a new experience for me and in the history of our foundation. We are striving to scale up our assistance to the military, so we are using every opportunity to do so”, said Oleh.

The funds raised during the event were donated to the needs of the soldiers of the 98th separate battalion of the 108th separate brigade of the Ukrainian Army's Special Forces, who need portable energy sources that can be quickly moved and silently launched to effectively fight the enemy.
