Ukraine is in the fight of its life.
Our energy system is the foundation of our democracy.
With power, we have food and clean water, warm homes, connectivity, jobs, transport and information.
By systematically attacking Ukraine’s energy assets, russia is trying to destroy our whole way of life. To cast our democracy into darkness.
Help us defend Ukraine’s energy.
Oleksandr Usyk is leading our fight.
Fresh from his victory in Riyadh, the newly-crowned Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World is partnering with DTEK to help draw global attention to the plight of Ukraine’s civilian power system.
The #FightForLight partnership between Usyk and DTEK aims to highlight the critical state of Ukraine’s energy sector to global allies and to appeal for urgent technical assistance (such as replacement generators, transformers and turbines) to energy companies across the sector, before the onset of winter in six months’ time.
Usyk was supported in Riyadh’s Kingdom Stadium by around 30 war veterans who have returned to work at DTEK after frontline action in some of the war’s most intense battles.
With a plan anything is possible. In Riyadh, Usyk’s plan helped him claim victory. We have a clear plan for restoring power to Ukraine. To execute it, we need help.
The fight for light continues.

“DTEK is doing everything possible to draw the attention of the world community to the energy infrastructure destroyed by the enemy and the need to restore it and protect it from new criminal attacks by russia.
We appreciate that Oleksandr Usyk and his team share these aspirations and will help Ukrainian energy workers be heard. We have a common goal and a common task – to protect our people and Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, so that every Ukrainian family has light and heat.
“We are confident in what we are doing, we are confident that they will not destroy the power system, our company and Ukraine. We know what to do. But we need help.”
