Prometey Group of Companies during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has implemented a number of socially oriented projects to support civilians in Mykolaiv and the region, materially meet the needs of Ukrainian warriors, and for the safety and social security of its employees.
According to a press release of the holding on Wednesday, 8 million UAH were allocated for these purposes, during which dozens of humanitarian projects were implemented.
For example, in December 2022 Prometey allocated funds to the Mykolayiv Regional Military Administration for the purchase of generators for units of the AFU.
As noted, “Prometey” was established in Nikolaev, so the company provides feasible assistance primarily to this city and the Nikolaev region.
“We buy food, medical equipment. Our help is in person, without intermediaries. We ourselves, for example, carried food to the front line of our military. Today, generators are the thing of prime necessity, so we promptly responded to the needs of the military,” the grain trader quotes Raphael Goroyan, head of the holding’s nabs council.
Prometey Group provides services in storing, processing and logistics of crops. Before the Russian aggression the holding owned 34 elevators in the Mykolaiv, Kirovograd, Kiev, Khmelnytsky, Zaporizhzhya, Sumy, Odessa, Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
By the end of 2021, the group planned to receive $45 mln EBITDA, while in 2020 this figure reached $32.6 mln and in 2019 – $30.5 mln.

“The first ladies of Ukraine and the United States paid considerable attention to a number of humanitarian projects aimed at alleviating the suffering of people affected by the war. In particular, they talked about the treatment of Ukrainian children in the United States and their prosthetics in American clinics, as well as a number of educational initiatives and assistance to temporary internally displaced persons,” the statement said.

The First Lady of Ukraine emphasized that “the main thing today is the supply by the United States of Ukraine of powerful precision weapons that will help us protect children and civilians, as well as accelerate victory in the war.”
In addition, Zelenskaya “told about the project ‘The Book of the Executioners of the Ukrainian People’, which collects confirmed data on war criminals from the Russian army.”
The wife of the head of the Ukrainian state thanked the United States for significant efforts in the UN for isolation and deprivation of a seat in the UN Human Rights Council of the Russian Federation, as well as for condemning Russia, and called for further strengthening of sanctions and recognizing the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism.

“The concept of a “strong woman” is the same in Ukraine and in America: a woman takes responsibility and makes decisions in the most difficult situations. She told the American “power women”, among whom are diplomats and senators, about strong Ukrainian women. This is how each of us is now “About those fighting in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who go to work under shelling, who start all over again in a new place for the sake of children. We have a whole country of power women!”, the First Lady of Ukraine stressed.
Germany will allocate EUR 850,000 in 2020 for humanitarian projects of the charity organization ADRA in Ukraine.
“The assistance will be available to people in eastern Ukraine who are particularly affected by the long-lasting conflict. From 2016 to 2019, ADRA’s work was already funded from Germany at EUR 4.6 million. In addition, ADRA will contribute an additional EUR 200,000 from its own funds,” the press service of the German Embassy in Ukraine reports.
The funds will be used to help older people, people with disabilities, single parents, large families, and among them, internally displaced persons. ADRA also plans to improve the humanitarian protection and psychosocial health of victims of conflict with post-traumatic syndrome, among whom there are many children, and provide access to basic services (especially medical and social services) and drinking water. Also, social transport services will be offered to people in need.
