Andrii Matiukha Foundation Supports the “Ukrenergo Repair Workers Protection” Project

More than 1,500 company energy workers to receive first aid training

The Andrii Matiukha Foundation has become a partner of the “Ukrenergo Repair Workers Protection” project, which will train repair crews and technical staff of NPC Ukrenergo in life-saving skills. As part of the initiative, 75 one-day training sessions are already planned.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been targeted by missile and drone attacks. Since 2022, more than 63,000 facilities have been damaged, and over three years of war, more than 30 large-scale strikes on the energy system have been recorded. As a result, at least 160 energy workers have been killed, and over 300 injured. Thirteen Ukrenergo employees lost their lives on the job while simply performing their duties.

Ukrenergo repair crews work on high-voltage substations and power lines under constant threat of shelling. In these conditions, first aid skills are often critically necessary on site.

“Energy workers are the people who keep the lights on in Ukrainian homes even after the heaviest Russian strikes. This project will provide Ukrenergo employees with knowledge and skills that, without exaggeration, can save lives in the crucial first minutes while waiting for paramedics,” said Andrii Matiukha, founder of the Foundation.

The initiative is expected to reach approximately 1,500 Ukrenergo employees. Participants will learn how to act under direct threat, apply tourniquets, dress wounds, quickly assess the condition of the injured, and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Each participant will receive a personal certificate upon completion.

Supporting the “Ukrenergo Repair Workers Protection” project is part of the Andrii Matiukha Foundation’s systematic efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience during the full-scale war.

In 2025, the Andrii Matiukha Foundation has already funded the purchase of modern surgical equipment for the urgent surgery department of Okhmatdyt National Children’s Hospital twice, and also joined the “Origami for Ukraine” project to support the rehabilitation of Ukrainian defenders.
