Over 135 million hryvnias for the front lines from ANTS Pharmacy: communications, equipment, and medical supplies for the military
27 March 19:07
ANC Pharmacy consistently and systematically supports the Ukrainian Armed Forces, directing significant resources toward the critical needs of the front lines. For the company, charitable aid is not a one-time initiative, but a conscious and ongoing commitment, realized through support for large-scale government and volunteer projects, as well as by fulfilling specific requests from military units. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the total amount of charitable aid provided by the company has exceeded 135 million hryvnias.
At the start of winter, the company transferred 1,000,000 hryvnias to the “Mission 077” fundraising campaign—an initiative implemented by the “Come Back Alive” Charitable Foundation. This was reported on the ANC network, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
This aid is entirely earmarked for the purchase of modern communications equipment for four newly formed army corps: the 12th, 15th, 18th, and 21st, which are defending Ukraine’s northern borders. Reliable communications are the foundation for effective management of military operations, coordination of unit actions, and rapid response to threats on the front lines.
“Reliable communication and well-coordinated logistics are the foundation of effective operations on the front lines and the safety of our troops. They are what enable us to quickly coordinate units, make decisions, and carry out missions under the most challenging conditions. Supporting these needs of the army is critical today. For our team, supporting Ukraine’s defenders is a conscious and unwavering commitment. We are pleased to join initiatives that strengthen the country’s defense capabilities and are grateful to everyone who supports the military alongside us,” noted ANTS Pharmacy.
The funds raised will be used to provide the military with power banks, food, cables, laptops, monitors, interactive panels, telecommunications containers, vans, pickup trucks, and other equipment necessary for carrying out combat missions.
The “Mission 077” project is the seventh large-scale joint fundraiser by Kyivstar and “Come Back Alive,” with the ultimate goal of raising 77 million UAH to provide Ukrainian troops with modern communication equipment.
An important component of the ANC’s charitable activities is also support for individual combat units. One such donation is 1 million UAH to the “One of the Pack” charity fundraiser for the “Wolves of Vinci” separate mechanized battalion. This charity fundraiser is a traditional annual initiative of the battalion, organized in honor of the birthday of Dmytro Kotsyubailo—Hero of Ukraine, the battalion’s first commander and founder. The goal of last year’s fundraiser was to raise 15 million UAH to provide drones for combat missions.
Medical support is no less important. The ANTS Pharmacy donated medicines worth 400,000 hryvnias to the soldiers of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. A total of 2,500 packages of medications are already being used on the front lines, including meloxicam and paracetamol to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as tranexamic acid, which is used to stop massive bleeding and can save lives in critical situations. Each such delivery provides military medics with additional opportunities to act quickly and effectively, and thus saves more lives.
At the same time, the company is systematically addressing other critical needs, particularly in the area of power supply, which often determines the effectiveness of combat operations on the front lines. Soldiers of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade received two BLUETTI AC180 portable charging stations, which allow equipment to remain operational in conditions of complete or partial power grid failure. Even a few extra hours of power in the field can be crucial to the success of operations.
For the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade, which is carrying out combat missions in the Zaporizhzhia sector, the ANC provided two generators that ensure a stable power source for communications and equipment.
In addition, the company allocated 150,000 hryvnias to the Zaporizhzhia sector for the purchase of charging stations, generators, and diesel heaters. An inverter generator worth 92,000 hryvnias was also received by the communications platoon of the 5th Assault Battalion of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade. These are basic but critically important items that provide heat, light, and the ability to stay in contact.
With the arrival of spring, it is not only the weather that changes—conditions on the front lines change as well, and with them, the needs of the troops. Melting snow, rain, and muddy roads turn the movement of equipment into a real challenge. Where there was a solid surface in winter, there is mud, rough terrain, and increased strain on vehicles in spring. In such conditions, high-quality tires become particularly important. They are not just consumables—they are a critically important element of unit mobility. Due to constant use, tires wear out quickly, so requests for their replacement or replenishment arise regularly. At the request of the 55th Artillery Brigade, the ANTS Pharmacy donated several sets of spring tires for military vehicles.
Since the start of the full-scale war, the ANTS pharmacy chain has regularly participated in charitable and humanitarian initiatives, collaborated with the UNITED24 platform, the “Come Back Alive” and Serhiy Prytula Foundations, and fulfilled local requests from military personnel for medications, technical equipment, drones, and logistics.
