We all have one family today: How Rivne Flex brought Christmas to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

On the eve of Christmas, the Rivne Flex team made a 4-day trip to visit relatives, employees, and friends from Rivne and the region who are now defending Ukraine. Having traveled about 500 km along the front line, the team visited more than a dozen locations in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, from Kupiansk to Pokrovsk.

"The main mission was to communicate, to hear, to listen to our defenders, to give space for their emotions and experiences, to congratulate them on Christmas. It is a family holiday, and we all have one family today," said Mykola Livshuk, founder and CEO of Rivne Flex. " However, one does not go home empty-handed, which is why we brought the guys and girls some goodies for their souls to give them a sense of family comfort and warmth, and to thank them for the titanic work they do.

Together with its partners, clients, local responsible businesses, local governments and the community, Rivne Flex managed to collect 2000 kg of aid and deliver it to more than ten teams. The aid included food, groceries, drinks, coffee from Kulturrra Coffee; warm blankets, pillows, clothes, and hygiene products provided by the Rivne City Maternity Hospital; individual packages with various sweets and gifts; and an FPV drone for testing from a local manufacturer and 300 camouflage nets.

By the way, the delivered camouflage nets were developed by the partner company in cooperation with Rivne Flex. The company is also co-financing this project. The advantage of such nets compared to other analogues is their greater availability in operation, lower cost, and lighter weight, which allows for faster maneuvers and camouflage of any equipment. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 2,000 sets of nets have been delivered to the frontline.

During the trip, the military from the 115th Brigade, 117th Brigade, 63rd Brigade, 95th Air Assault Brigade, 82nd Air Assault Brigade, 24th Brigade, 116th Brigade, 110th Brigade, 53rd Brigade, 36th Brigade and the field hospital received assistance. Among them, we were able to visit one of the eight Rivne Flex employees who are now fighting for victory for our country.

"After such visits, the military's outlook changes, and they realize that they are not left to fend for themselves. From my experience, after such visits they get motivated and confirmation that we are united. I was once again convinced that our support is extremely important to them, so we will definitely continue," added Mykola Livshuk.
