On February 28, 2026, the All-Ukrainian competition for war veterans “Strong Ukraine” took place in Kropyvnytskyi for the third time. Aurora traditionally acted as a partner of the event, supporting initiatives that promote the recovery and social adaptation of our defenders.

This year, nearly 300 veterans from different regions of the country took part in the competition. Such a number of participants is highly indicative — sport is gradually becoming a widespread tool for the physical and psychological rehabilitation of military personnel who sustained injuries and wounds during combat. It is not only about physical strength, but also about restoring faith in one’s own abilities, supporting fellow service members, and returning to an active life.

The “Strong Ukraine” competition is organized specifically to support the rehabilitation of veterans and active-duty service members who have been injured. Participation in such events helps restore physical fitness, improve emotional well-being, and foster a sense of unity within a community that understands without words.

Aurora continues to support initiatives that create opportunities for recovery, growth, and confident progress forward for our veterans.
