The “Ukrainian Titans” charity event organized by the International Institute of Optimal Solutions Foundation, took place at the Premier Palace Hotel in Kyiv. The event brought together prominent Ukrainians, service members, philanthropists, and public figures to support fighters of the 12th Special Forces “Azov” Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.
The central part of the evening was a charity auction featuring unique items symbolizing strength, courage, and gratitude to Ukrainian defenders. These included an Olympic medal from Oleksandr Usyk, a football jersey from Andriy Shevchenko, a personal training session with Oleh Verniaiev, a surgical instrument from the practice of cardiac surgeon Borys Todurov, an antique embroidered towel from Viktor Yushchenko’s collection, and other valuable items. A special highlight was Oleksandr Usyk purchasing the competition singlet of Zhan Beleniuk, who was also present at the event.
Thanks to the active participation of guests, the event raised UAH 1.8 million. All funds will be directed toward supporting the children of Azov fighters.
The entertainment program featured performances by Kozak System, Nataliia Buchynska, Vadym Oliynyk, and violinist Ihor Cherniavskiy. The children’s ensemble “Zerniatko” performed a spiritual hymn of Ukraine, adding a deeply emotional note to the evening.
On behalf of the National Guard of Ukraine, Brigadier General Oleksandr Bilous expressed his gratitude to the organizers and guests for their support of Ukrainian service members.
The charity event became another example of the unity of Ukrainian society and a shared sense of responsibility for those who defend the country every day. Every contribution made by participants is a meaningful act of support and gratitude to Ukrainian defenders.
