More than 50 soldiers and veterans who were injured during combat have recently participated in adaptive sports training in Myronivka. The event featured a variety of activities, including archery, wheelchair basketball, handbiking, and rowing on a machine. These sessions were conducted by champions from national and international competitions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Among the trainers was Volodymyr Moisei, a powerlifter renowned for setting a Ukrainian record by lifting a 260-kilogram barbell with one hand. Hailing from the temporarily occupied Berdiansk in the Zaporizhzhia region, Moisey has been competing professionally for eight years, three of which have been with a disability. Despite losing an arm in a car accident in 2019, Moisei has continued to excel in sports.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t change the circumstances, change your attitude towards them,\u201d says Volodymyr Moisei. \u201cI aim to demonstrate not just strength but an unbreakable spirit and determination, proving that disability is not a sentence. I hope to inspire a shift in how society views people with disabilities after the war. My goal is to set an example.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At the sports training session, Moisei showcased his ability to lift a 200-kilogram barbell with one hand. \u201cThis is something everyone can achieve. Many people who face similar traumatic experiences ask, \u2018Why did this happen to me?\u2019 The real question is, \u2018What can I do with this?\u2019 Our world needs genuine change, and individuals like us can drive that transformation. We must offer support and encouragement, helping them become strong athletes, parents, and individuals. This is the reason why everyone stands guard for our country.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trainers highlight that adaptive sports are essential for the rehabilitation of soldiers, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. These activities not only boost physical health by strengthening muscles and bones but also enhance cardiovascular function and overall fitness. Engaging in sports can also improve social interaction, help overcome physical and psychological challenges, restore self-confidence, and inspire new goals and motivations.<\/p>\n

Andriy Kucher, a veteran and head of the NGO \u201cUnion of the Wounded Military of Ukraine \u2018Strong 300\u2019,\u201d explains, \u201cReaching milestones and winning medals helps veterans find motivation, not just in sports but in their daily lives. By integrating injured military personnel into sports and veteran communities, we ensure the safety of their families and local communities. That\u2019s why my project, \u2018VetSport \u2013 Into Communities!\u2019 focuses on visiting local communities, as this is where national veteran policies begin. We provide inclusive equipment, introduce inclusive sports, and share our experiences.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sports event held in Myronivka was organized by the NGO \u201cUnion of the Wounded Military of Ukraine \u2018Strong 300\u2019\u201d and the Charitable Foundation \u201cMHP-Gromadi,\u201d with support from the \u201cMHP Poruch\u201d reintegration program for military personnel and veterans.<\/p>\n

Valentyna Vedrovska, a veteran and Regional Development Manager at MHP, said, \u201cThe \u2018MHP Poruch\u2019 program aims to provide opportunities for both physical and mental recovery, as well as social integration. Adaptive sports training is particularly beneficial in this context, as it not only supports physical rehabilitation but also helps build a strong veteran community. It facilitates interaction, collaboration, and mutual support between veterans and other community members.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It was symbolic that the event took place in the newly renovated sports and wellness complex on its opening day.<\/p>\n

Dmytro Zhukotansky, First Deputy Mayor of Myronivka, stated, \u201cThe reintegration of our soldiers is a collective challenge for all segments of society: families, communities, authorities, and businesses. We rely on the support of socially responsible partners. Thanks to MHP, adaptive sports training is being conducted in various communities across the country. Today\u2019s event in Myronivka sees the participation of more than 50 veterans from the Myronivka community.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

About \u2018MHP Poruch\u2019<\/p>\n

The \u2018MHP Poruch\u2019 program provides individual support and comprehensive assistance to military personnel, veterans, and their families. It targets employees and residents in communities where MHP operates. Since February 24, 2022, over 3 000 MHP employees have left their offices, production sites, and fields to serve in the war, representing more than 10% of the workforce with military experience. Nearly 400 veterans have since returned to work.<\/p>\n

MHP was one of the first companies in Ukraine to offer extensive and systematic support for soldiers and their families, including legal and psychological assistance, medical treatment and rehabilitation, professional retraining, and social integration. The program now focuses on supporting veteran spaces, communities, and adaptive sports for the rehabilitation and reintegration of our warriors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
