Remembering the Heroes, Caring for Their Families: Foresters Visited the Families of Fallen, Wounded, and Missing Colleagues Ahead of Independence Day

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 165 employees of State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” have been killed on the frontlines. Another 119 are missing, six of them held in captivity. That is nearly 300 families who require constant care and support.

Therefore, on the eve of Independence Day, representatives from all branches of the enterprise visited these families. Words of gratitude can never match the heroism of these men.

As a sign of our care, foresters delivered food baskets. The most moving moments were the meetings with children. Despite the pain of loss, their sincere smiles bring hope and strength to move forward. In the eyes of these children lies the future of Ukraine, for which their fathers fought.

Such visits are not only a gesture of attention but also an opportunity to better understand the families’ needs. After all, the enterprise’s support is ongoing.

What kind of assistance does SE “Forests of Ukraine” provide to these families?

✔️ Financial support of 7,500 UAH for the purchase of firewood for heating;

✔️ Annual material assistance of up to 15,000 UAH;

✔️ Monthly financial assistance equal to the minimum wage for each child until they reach adulthood;

✔️ Funding for children’s education at higher educational institutions specializing in forestry.

Supporting the families of fallen and missing foresters will always remain our priority. We can withstand these difficult times only through unity and mutual support.
