“Mission 077”: Kyivstar and “Come Back Alive” launched a fundraiser for communication for the military
Kyivstar and the Come Back Alive Foundation have launched their seventh joint project to support the army — “We Live Here: Mission 077.” The goal of the initiative is to raise 77 million UAH for communication, so that the military can act more coherently and effectively. The initiative is implemented with the informational support of 1+1 Media.
“Reliable communication enables the military to make decisions quickly, coordinate actions, and save lives. As a national mobile operator, we clearly understand the value of uninterrupted communication. Therefore, together with the Come Back Alive Foundation, we launched a new fundraiser to provide Ukrainian defenders with modern means of communication, on which their safety and effectiveness directly depend,” — comments Oleksandr Komarov, CEO of Kyivstar.
Within the framework of the “We Live Here: Mission 077” project, four newly created corps that hold the defense along the northern border of Ukraine will be provided with reliable communication. The military will receive various types of property: for communication on the front lines, for command posts where operations will be planned, as well as pickups and vans for fast logistics.
“Communication is the foundation of control and combat capability of the army. The transition to a corps system requires a full-fledged communication architecture capable of working under any conditions. We help to create it in the North, providing six regions with modern means of communication, mobile stations, and backup channels. This allows the command to effectively coordinate actions, quickly respond to threats, and strengthen the security of state sovereignty,” — says Taras Chmut, Director of the Come Back Alive Foundation.
You can support the “We Live Here: Mission 077” initiative by donating to the special account of the foundation and the project’s “bank.” Kyivstar prepaid subscribers can join the fundraiser by activating the “Help the Armed Forces+” Superpower — via SMS or a call to 88032. Up to 50 UAH from each tariff payment is transferred by Kyivstar to the fundraiser.
Kyivstar systematically supports Ukraine. As of the beginning of October 2025, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the mobile operator has invested over 3.7 billion UAH in aid to the Armed Forces, society, national digital recovery programs, free services, and subscriber support.
The project “We Live Here: Mission 077” started on October 27 and will continue until the full amount of funds is collected.
