Volunteers from Zaporizhzhya Islamic Cultural Centre and Melitopol Muslim Community collected what’s the most necessary, namely food and warm clothing, for one of the battalions in the ATO zone. They delivered all this to the military on their own as well, having packed full a Volkswagen van, in the end of 2014, just before another cold spell, so the warm clothing was actual as ever.

Honey was among other products, so that fighters could strengthen their immune system. The warming tea also tastes better when one drinks it through some honey. The fighters, with several Crimean Tatars among them, thanked the Muslims for their care.

Ukrainian Muslims try to help both the forced resettlers and the military as much as possible. Kyiv Muslim women, for instance, launched an ongoing benefit on cooking homemade food for the soldiers, wounded in the ATO zone, who get their treatment in Kyiv Military Hospital.

In current situation all people of Ukraine, mostly families with small income, eagerly help the National Guard and the volunteer battalions who protect our common Homeland.Napoleon's dictum says that a nation that doesn't wish to feed its own army will have to feed someone else's, and it has been an adage for over two hundred years.
