Half a billion for the Air Assault Forces: "Come Back Alive" launches its biggest project with business

The Come Back Alive Foundation for Competent Assistance to the Army together with OKKO filling stations have launched the Eye for an Eye 3 fundraiser, which aims to raise UAH 500 million for the Air Assault Forces.

“Our new project is a record-breaking fundraiser for the Foundation and business. We will spend half a billion hryvnias that we accumulate together to help the Air Assault Forces, native to me. We will provide companies of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (RUBAK – Ukr.) in 10 units of the Air Assault Forces. UAVs are highly effective, and partially take over the function of artillery, and under favorable conditions can significantly change the theater of operations,” comments Oleh Karpenko, Deputy Director of the Come Back Alive Foundation, veteran.

As part of the “Eye for an Eye 3” initiative, the Air Assault Forces will receive 10 combat Pulstron systems – reconnaissance and destruction systems worth 50 million hryvnias each. The Pullstrons will include attack and reconnaissance drones, transport, communications and everything necessary for control.

“We have long chosen strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a key area of assistance. As a responsible business, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, our company has already allocated more than UAH 1.3 billion to help the army and restore the country. In particular, as part of the first stage of the Eye for an Eye, we provided artillery brigades and reconnaissance units with 25 Shark reconnaissance systems, and as part of the second stage, we accumulated UAH 400 million for weapons for the Territorial Defense Forces. Now we have an even more ambitious goal – half a billion hryvnias for detection and destruction systems for 10 Air Assault units. That is why we are launching Pulls of Revenge again,” comments Vasyl Dmytriv, OKKO Vice President for Marketing.

You can support the “Eye for an Eye 3” project by refueling at all OKKO filling stations with branded fuel: 1 hryvnia from each liter of Pulls 95 or Pulls Diesel automatically goes to the reconnaissance and destruction complexes for the Air Assault Forces. 

You can also support the project by transferring money to a special account.

Or by donating to the “bank“.

As a reminder, “Eye for an Eye 3” is the third joint project of the Come Back Alive Foundation and OKKO. 

The first stage started on November 1, 2022. Its goal was to accumulate UAH 325 million for 25 Shark aviation systems. The fundraiser was completed on April 10, 2023. And as of September 11, 2023, all 25 reconnaissance systems were handed over to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Almost all artillery brigades and reconnaissance units fighting in the Armed Forces received them. In addition, four complexes were handed over to the Marines, three to mechanized brigades, two to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine and one to a technical intelligence unit of a training center that performs combat missions at the front.

The second stage of “Eye for an Eye” started on April 11, 2023. Its goal was to raise 400 million hryvnias for machine guns, 82-mm mortars and large-caliber grenade launchers for the Territorial Defense Forces. The fundraiser was completed on December 10, 2023. As of February 1, 2024, the Territorial Defence Forces received the entire batch of machine guns and the first batches of mortars and grenade launchers.
