13.03.2025

The Ukrainian Defense Forces have received 35 vehicles from the HeroCar project of the Ruslan Shostak Charitable Foundation. The large-scale handover took place in central Lviv, with clergy, military personnel, and city officials in attendance.

Funds for these vehicles were raised jointly by HeroCar and the “Lachen Pyshe” initiative. More than ₴10 million (approx. $250,000) was collected in just one week, with over 49,000 people contributing to the fundraiser.

The vehicles are being sent to troops operating in the Kursk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, and Donetsk sectors.

“This is the largest single delivery of vehicles HeroCar has ever carried out. It would not have been possible without the support of the Ukrainian people who joined our initiative and contributed to strengthening the country's defense. Thanks to your help, we delivered 35 reliable vehicles to the front lines. HeroCar is doing everything it can to provide the Defense Forces of Ukraine with dependable transport vehicles that save the lives of soldiers and civilians. We urge everyone to join in and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with everything they need, especially transportation, as the need remains consistently high,” said Yevheniia But, CEO of the Ruslan Shostak Charitable Foundation, of which HeroCar is a part.
