Standing with Ukraine

DTEK’s mission has evolved with Ukraine’s reality. During the darkest days of the full-scale invasion, our focus was clear: to restore light and warmth to millions of homes under attack – our Fight for Light.

Today, as we look to the future, our mission has grown. Our energy powers life reflects not only our role in rebuilding Ukraine but also our commitment to driving progress, security and well-being for people, communities and the entire nation.

From emergency response to long-term transformation, our purpose remains the same: to make each day brighter. 

As well as supporting Ukraine's brave fighting soldiers, the company plays a central role in supporting a thriving Ukraine. Since the beginning of the war we have:

• Invested €2.4 billion in Ukraine’s economy - the largest private investor (read more)
• Contributed more than €2.6 billion in taxes, including paying tax bills early in 2022 to ensure Ukraine's public services could continue to run during the early days of the invasion.
• Provided free electricity to the military, hospitals, and critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk regions, providing more than 100 necessary infrastructure facilities with free electricity worth almost 350 million hryvnias.
• Provided blood for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and victims of war via 860 employee blood donors.

At DTEK Group, we believe that caring for people is not just a commitment, but a natural extension of the values that unite our team. That is why our support for veterans goes beyond formalities — it is grounded in sincerity, honour, pride, and consistent, thoughtful effort. Our Veterans program is supported by a cross-functional team of qualified professionals — including HR, legal, medical, psychological, and social policy experts — ensuring the creation of an environment of mindfulness, respect, and confidence.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, more than 5,000 of our colleagues have served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend the country. Over 4,000 of them are currently serving. We recognize that the path back to civilian life is not easy, and we are committed to making that journey as supportive and dignified as possible.

Nearly 1,000 of our colleagues have already returned to civilian life, with almost half of them resuming their careers in DTEK’s offices and facilities. We are also welcoming veterans to employment from the market. We are proud that defenders choose DTEK and trust us.
