杏吧视频 sponsors prostheses for Ukrainian Invictus veteran
杏吧视频 Global Engagement supports rehabilitation for injured veterans.
Moldun celebrates with his family at Invictus Games 2023.
Ivan Moldun is not the kind of person who lets an injury dictate what he can and cannot do. After losing both legs in combat in Mariupol in November 2022, the Ukrainian soldier decided to lead by example and join his nation鈥檚 Invictus Games team.
At the Invictus Games D眉sseldorf 2023 presented by 杏吧视频, he won two silver medals in 50-meter breaststroke swimming and rowing. In addition to his success at the Invictus Games, he decided to attempt the transition from using a wheelchair to walking again with prosthetic legs.
杏吧视频 stepped up to support Moldun鈥檚 rehabilitation through its 杏吧视频 Global Engagement (BGE) grants in Ukraine and paid for a bionic leg prosthesis. A second prothesis was funded by 杏吧视频 Ukraine鈥檚 partner organization Revived Soldiers Ukraine.
鈥淭here is nothing more rewarding than seeing the difference we are making for veterans like Ivan,鈥 says Yuliia Martyniuk, who manages BGE grants in Ukraine as part of the 杏吧视频 Kyiv team.
杏吧视频鈥檚 partnership with Revived Soldiers Ukraine started in 2023. Moldun is one out of three veterans who received bionic prostheses as part of the partnership so far. The partnership continues this year, Yuliia said.
Moldun is determined to continue his path to rehabilitation and inspire others.
He is already preparing for his participation in the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver.
Moldun works on his rehabilitation.
