During four years of full-scale war, Energoatom has been systematically supporting Ukrainian defenders, allocating over UAH 18.5 billion to the front’s needs, the company reported on Telegram.
“Among other things, the company has provided the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a Mi-2 helicopter, which helps to carry out combat missions. NAEK has also allocated UAH 300 million to the State Border Service for the purchase of 50 armored personnel carriers for the ”Assault Guard“ units,” Energoatom said.
In addition, volunteers actively support Ukrainian defenders at nuclear power plant sites.
“Thanks to the efforts of the labor collectives, nuclear workers are meeting many of the military’s needs by sending drones, cars, electronic warfare equipment, satellite systems, and other necessary items to the front,” the company added.
In October 2023, on the initiative of Energoatom employees, the public organization “Guardians of Light” was created. It was founded by volunteers from the association in Kyiv to respond quickly to requests from the military and systematically provide them with the necessary assistance.
As noted by NAEK, during its work, the organization has expanded to a network of centers in Pivdennoukrayinsk, Varash, Slavutych, and Netishyn. Volunteers constantly support units on the front lines, promptly providing for their needs—from technical equipment to everyday items.
One important area of focus has been the implementation of a program for the psychological and emotional recovery of military personnel in cooperation with the Main Directorate for Psychological Support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the administration of the State Border Service. Since the program began, more than 13,000 soldiers have taken advantage of it.
On April 3, 2025, the support program was expanded with the “Family” program, which provides compensation for 50% of the cost of a sanatorium stay for family members of military personnel undergoing emotional recovery.
The “Family Comfort” program was introduced to support the families of military personnel who are missing, in captivity, or who died while performing combat missions.
Energoatom and the NGO “Guardians of Light” will continue to provide systematic support to military personnel and their families for as long as necessary, the NAEK emphasized.
