14/ 01/ 2026

Sayenko Kharenko and the Breathe Charity Fund have raised UAH 1 million through the “Christmas Miracle Starts with You” initiative for Ukrainian defenders and veterans. Ukraine’s fourth wartime Christmas proved that support for those defending the country remains strong. For 25 days, the advent calendar revealed what was needed right now on the frontline or for veterans. The initiative supported four organisations working across Ukraine’s defence: 425th Separate UAV Battalion 3rd Separate Reconnaissance Battalion Vidchaidushni DoLadu Mental Health Lab Every donation became specific equipment. A battery powering reconnaissance drones. A tourniquet stopping bleeding. A therapy session helping a veteran finally sleep peacefully. Three years into full-scale war, the campaign’s results speak clearly: global support for Ukraine persists. Hundreds of private contributions. Sayenko Kharenko, as promised, ensured the million was reached. Mission accomplished. “Real miracles are not magic,” says Nazar Chernyavsky, partner at Sayenko Kharenko. “They are created by people who choose action. This Christmas hundreds joined us in such action and we are vey grateful for that!” Sayenko Kharenko has conducted Christmas charitable initiatives for five consecutive years. Each year focuses on different critical needs. The firm’s commitment remains unchanged: support will continue as long as Ukraine needs it.
