After meeting with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, FC Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov commented on the coronavirus situation
"The coronavirus is a disaster that the modern world has faced on this scale probably for the first time. I am absolutely sure that in this situation everyone should think about the specific help they can provide to Ukraine and the Ukrainians.
My Foundation was the first to get involved in providing assistance. And we will not stand aloof from it further - we helped, we help, and we will help on. The Foundation has already purchased the necessary equipment and personal protective gear for doctors. We work in full coordination with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and we will continue to provide assistance as long as necessary.
The SCM businesses will not stand aloof from it either. All our enterprises take responsibility for the lives and health of our employees and residents in the places of our presence. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, we will do our best to prevent the cities and towns of our presence and the whole country from the coronavirus outbreak.
Only by combining our efforts in the face of danger, we can make Ukraine cope with all the challenges it faces."
