Vital Aid: despite the shelling, the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation delivered 4,000 food kits to frontline Selydove

Fighting is taking place a few dozen kilometres away. Enemy shelling is hitting residential areas of the city, but people live here. Despite the risks, the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation's mobile humanitarian aid teams went to the frontline town of Selidovo in the Donetsk region. The trucks are carrying 4,000 food packages.

The food packages include pasta, sugar, salt, flour, cereals, canned beans, sunflower oil, stewed meat, pate, and biscuits. For local residents, mostly elderly, this help is a necessity to get on with their lives.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Foundation has sent more than 348,000 food packages to residents of the Donetsk region and those who have temporarily evacuated from the region.

Since 2014, the Foundation has provided 13 million food packages to Ukrainians. Over this time, more than 18 million people have benefited from the assistance provided by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, SCM businesses and Shakhtar Football Club.

The assistance is provided under the Rinat Akhmetov - Saving Lives programme.
