“… The class of 2023 decided to abandon the celebrations and instead support several important volunteer meetings, including ours – for one hundred thousand hryvnias. I sincerely thank you – first of all, not so much for the money as for the civic position, because it is human solidarity and cohesion that make our people strong,” Andrii Lyubka said, leaving the details that can be used to help volunteers.

We all understand in one way or another that the resource for fighting in the defenders, both material and moral, is very exhaustive. And donating and working in the rear with the collection of material supports the moral one as well. Therefore, the idea appeared somehow immediately from the understanding that we can think about some celebrations and their appropriateness only thanks to those who are there in the trenches and hospitals,” said graduate Anna Ruschak.
