WOG and Prytula Foundation raise funds for Sokil drones for AFU Air Assault Forces

From 1 October 2026 to 11 January 2027, the WOG gas station chain and the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation are implementing the ninth stage (flight) of their joint initiative, "WOGON' DOPOMOHY" (WOG Fire of Help). This time, funds are being directed towards the purchase of fixed-wing Sokil reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles for the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Fundraising mechanism

Participation in the "Reconnaissance for Air Assault Forces" project is available to every visitor of the network's stations. For each hot drink sold, WOG will transfer 2 hryvnias to the needs of the Defence Forces. Thus, daily consumption of coffee or tea becomes direct financial support for the military.

For those abroad or without access to the nearest WOG gas station, an alternative way to help is provided: direct donations to the account of the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation.

Significance of equipment for the front

Foundation founder Serhiy Prytula emphasised the critical importance of the new equipment for the units:

«Розвідувальні БПЛА Sokil – це "очі" підрозділів ДШВ. Вони дають більш повне розуміння ситуації ще до початку бою: показують, де ворог, дають можливість діяти точно і берегти життя наших захисників. Проєкт "WOGОНЬ ДОПОМОГИ. "Розвідники" для ДШВ" перетворює щоденну каву українців на розвідувальний ресурс для десантно-штурмових військ. Просто, зрозуміло і працює на підтримку нашого війська», – підкреслив Сергій Притула, засновник Фонду. ("Sokil reconnaissance UAVs are the 'eyes' of the Air Assault Forces units. They provide a more complete understanding of the situation even before the start of combat: they show where the enemy is, allowing for precise action and preserving the lives of our defenders. The 'WOGON' DOPOMOHY. Reconnaissance for Air Assault Forces' project turns Ukrainians' daily coffee into a reconnaissance resource for the air assault troops. Simple, clear, and working in support of our army," emphasised Serhiy Prytula, Foundation founder.)

Project history and management comments

The "WOGON' DOPOMOHY" initiative has been active since June 2024. WOG gas station chain Marketing Director Hennadiy Karlynskyi noted that during this time, the effectiveness of the mechanism has been proven, where ordinary consumer activity becomes systematic support for the army.

«"Розвідники" для ДШВ" – дев'ятий флайт проєкту "WOGОНЬ ДОПОМОГИ", який WOG реалізовує з червня 2024 року. За цей час ми довели, що допомагати може кожен, а найпростіша щоденна дія – горнятко улюбленої кави здатна стати системною підтримкою війську. Цей флайт проєкту вкотре доводить, що за підтримки українців і бізнесу нові українські розробки можуть максимально швидко потрапляти туди, де вони найбільш потрібні. Цього разу – до Десантно-штурмових військ. Кожна кава – добра справа», – зазначає Геннадій Карлінський, директор із маркетингу мережі АЗК WOG. ("Reconnaissance for Air Assault Forces" is the ninth flight of the "WOGON' DOPOMOHY" project, which WOG has been implementing since June 2024. During this time, we have proven that everyone can help, and the simplest daily action – a cup of favourite coffee – can become systematic support for the army. This flight of the project once again proves that with the support of Ukrainians and business, new Ukrainian developments can reach where they are most needed as quickly as possible. This time – to the Air Assault Forces. Every coffee is a good cause," notes Hennadiy Karlynskyi, Marketing Director of the WOG gas station chain.)
