36 Million in Care: How Halychyna Built Systematic Support for Ukraine’s Defense Forces in 2025

For the dairy company Halychyna, 2025 became 365 days of systematic support for Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The company invested UAH 36 million in this effort, along with the daily work of dozens of employees involved in the assistance process.

Throughout 2025, Halychyna consistently supported military units, medical institutions, and rehabilitation centers. The main focus was on providing food supplies, promptly responding to military requests, and supporting those undergoing treatment and recovery after injuries. This was reported by Hromadske.ua, as conveyed by the PromPolitInform portal.

Halychyna regularly supports around 40 military units and 20 medical and rehabilitation facilities in different regions. Among them are the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Magura,” the 1st Rapid Response Brigade “Burevii,” and the 3rd Rapid Response Brigade “Spartan,” as well as the rehabilitation centers Halychyna, Superhumans, and Titani. For many of them, the consistency, predictability, and regularity of assistance are no less important than its volume.

Thanks to planning, well-established processes, and sustainable partnerships, aid from Halychyna is delivered regularly and on time. Each week, a list of urgent requests is compiled and processed by logistics teams, accountants, branch managers, operators, and warehouse staff. Charity here is not a separate activity but a joint effort of various company departments.

“Systematic support means that assistance does not depend on mood or external circumstances. Every week we receive requests from the military and must be confident that we can respond to them. This requires clear coordination, responsibility from each participant in the process, and an understanding that you are doing your part in an important mission,” said Anastasiia Ostapenko, the manager coordinating charitable assistance at the company. “We hear words of gratitude from the military not for individual deliveries, but for the fact that they can rely on us. For us, this is the main indicator that the system is working.”

Halychyna’s Executive Director Volodymyr Petryna noted that the company engages in charity not for reporting or reputation-building purposes, but as a core team value.

“Charity is very important for our employees because it is, above all, an expression of care for the military, the country, and our work. When everyone understands why they perform their part of the daily work, a sense of purpose emerges. In difficult times, this is what helps us hold on and move forward,” said Volodymyr Petryna, Executive Director of the Halychyna dairy company.

For Halychyna, systematic assistance is part of everyday operations built around responsibility, predictability, and an understanding of the shared reality in which Ukraine lives.
