Thank you for providing Ukraine with three more large generators! Since December 12, they have all been in operation at their destination. We thank Koridor UA for the transport!
Thank you, you are amazing! The amount of two million was symbolically raised on November 17!
Will we send two more large generators to Ukraine by Christmas? In the first wave, we had to reject a request, for example, from the Pavlohrad City Hospital in the Dnipropetrovsk region, requests also came from other school boarding facilities. Let's celebrate the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and commemorate the upcoming anniversary of 1000 days since the start of the war with solidarity and support for the defenders of democracy. Ukraine is facing a third winter of war. The Russian aggressor is targeting the energy infrastructure and more than 70 % of Ukraine's thermal production capacities are occupied or damaged. This winter may thus be the worst that Ukraine will experience from 2022. Defense units, hospitals and the civilian population will face power outages. Please, let's persevere in support and give warmth and light to Ukraine. We have been buying protective and medical equipment for almost three years and are doing everything to ensure that it reaches Ukraine as quickly as possible where it is needed. Thousands of vests and helmets from us are used by defenders on the front line, tons of medical equipment save lives. Now we want to deliver 107 generators to Ukraine, which will help bridge the power grid outages.
Almost three years have already passed since the beginning of the war. The solidarity felt and expressed by the Czech society gradually weakens and gives way to fatigue and resignation. But Ukraine and its defenders are still resisting. They defend their land with a gun in their hand and give their lives for it. Our own prosperity depends on their victory. Let's help Ukraine in its difficult hour and provide it with warmth and light.
100 small generators with an output of 3.5 kW each for CZK 6 072
In the event of a power outage, it will provide heat and light for the team of defenders in the trenches
5 medium generators with an output of 10 kW at 40,137 CZK
In the event of a power outage, it will provide heat and light for the one-bed ward of the field hospital
2 large generators with an output of 50 kW at 345,520 CZK
In the event of a power outage, it will provide heat and light for one large school facility.
Heaters approx. 270 000 Kč Logistics, customs clearance, transport to Ukraine approx. 225 000 Kč
We cooperate with the humanitarian organization Koridor UA on the logistics and transport of generators. Koridor UA has been helping in Ukraine, as has Paměť národa since the beginning of the conflict, and over the past two years has built an extensive logistics network and exported over 1,000 tons of humanitarian supplies.
Warmth for children We will deliver the first of the large generators to the school facility in Kryve Roh, where 170 children with hearing impairments and severe speech disorders learn and live. Another one will be delivered to the Rehabilitation Center "Pravo vibora" for children with disabilities in Kharkiv.
Since 2022, Russia has been targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure in its attacks and is trying to destabilize the electricity system by knocking out large coal and gas generating units as well as key parts of the transmission system. Before the invasion began in 2022, nuclear plants produced half of the country's electricity, followed by coal plants with 23 percent and gas plants with nine percent. At the end of May this year, approximately 70 percent of Ukraine's thermal generation capacity was either seized or damaged by the Russians, according to data from the International Energy Agency. The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which produced around a quarter of Ukraine's electricity supply before 2022, is under Russian control.
According to President Vladimir Zelensky, Moscow wants to terrorize millions of civilians. "Ordinary families - women and children. Ordinary cities and ordinary villages. Putin wants to leave them in the dark and cold this winter and force Ukraine to suffer and surrender," he described in one of his speeches.
Attacks on energy infrastructure have many consequences - from the interruption of water and heat supplies to further blows to the country's already crippled economy. The lack of heat and light has a huge negative effect on the psyche of both soldiers and civilians.
The 107 generators that we plan to deliver to Ukraine will not only supply electricity, but also show the defenders that they are not alone and that we are still standing by them. Let us show that we are not indifferent and that we will persist in our support for Ukraine.

POST BELLUM
Ukraine is bleeding. We don't have to just passively watch the injustice and aggression our friends are facing because they decided to share our values of freedom and democracy. For almost four years now, we've been buying protective and medical supplies and doing everything we can to get them to Ukraine as quickly as possible and to the places where they're most needed. Thousands of vests and helmets from us are being used by defenders on the front lines, and many tons of medical supplies are saving lives. We also supply fire trucks, ambulances, generators, drones, and optical equipment. The war is still going on. Ukrainian heroes are fighting and still need supplies to defend their country. Please, let us persevere as well. Our own experience with war and totalitarianism in the 20th century compels us to help Ukraine.
UPDATE: Due to the desperate energy situation in Ukraine caused by Russian attacks, we are planning to send another truck loaded with generators. Last week, we delivered 36generators to Termopil, Poltava, Dnipro, and Mykolaiv. After another wave of Russian bombing, Ukraine, through its Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiha, requested urgent assistance in resolving the energy situation. Therefore, another truck with a load of generators will leave this week to help hospitals and other facilities. Please support our efforts with an extraordinary additional donation.
We purchase the generators in the Czech Republic from our long-term partner Hahn & Sohn, who, thanks to the large volume (we have delivered more than 480 generators to Ukraine since the beginning of the war) and their heart in the right place, provides products at a minimum discount of 20-35% off regular prices. Over the next week, we will transport 49 generators of various capacities, from medium to large, including one with a huge capacity of 600 kW (Petbow CD563S).
Example: A 12 kW generator, which we are sending to a school in Kharkiv, normally costs CZK 137,000, but the price for the UA collection is CZK 90,000. A giant generator, which will power an entire hospital, normally sells for CZK 900,000, but the price for us is CZK 390,000.
In 2019, the non-profit organization Post Bellum established a branch in Lviv with the aim of recording the memories of eyewitnesses for the Memory of Nations archive. Our colleagues in Ukraine have recorded dozens of stories, mainly from the period of Stalinist repression, dissidents, and political prisoners. After the outbreak of the conflict, they asked us for help. We couldn't refuse. Thanks to your support, we have already delivered thousands of bulletproof vests and helmets, tons of medical supplies and observation optics, and, last but not least, fully equipped ambulances and fire trucks to the defenders of Ukraine. Aid to Ukraine has a tangible impact—our collection has demonstrably saved dozens of lives. It also has symbolic significance—the victims of aggression know that they are not alone. All of the resources sent are non-lethal in nature.
All materials needed have been consulted with experts from the Army of the Czech Republic. The recipients of our aid are predominantly frontline fighters, members of special forces units. The assistance is implemented through the Embassy of Ukraine in the Czech Republic. Representatives of the Czech Embassy in Kyiv then oversee the correct use and distribution of the material to those in need.
In cooperation with the Donio portal and, above all, six thousand generous donors, we managed to collect funds for equipment of two field hospitals that play a vital role in saving the lives of wounded soldiers.
Together with the general public, we remind ourselves that the war in Ukraine is still on and that we must not be indifferent. On February 23, 2025, together with the organizations People in Need, Million Moments for democracy and the European Congress of Ukrainians we organized a rally for the 3rd anniversary of the war. The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, also spoke at the Old Town Square.
On the evening of August 20, 2024, we organized a commemorative event called "Go Home, Ivan" for the first time in the Boris Nemtsov Park with the same organizations. We recalled the time when Soviet aggression also affected us. We continue the tradition, in 2025 the event "Go Home, Ivan" took place on August 21 at the same place in front of the Russian Embassy. The band Rybičky 48 played at the event.
