yanaya obukhovska ON LIFE ROBOTS UA project

• Why did you decide to join the Life Robots UA project?Because it is impossible to stay away when you have knowledge, energy and resources that can save lives. It is like an internal duty to be useful.
• Do you remember the moment when you realized that you could not stand aside?Yes. My husband went through the war, now my cousin is on the Kursk front.
• What does this project mean to you personally?This is an attempt to protect those who protect us every day. It is about love, care and responsibility for the country.
• How has your life changed since you started participating in this project?There was more meaning, more strength, more faith in people, in joint action.
• Why robots? Why is it important for the front?Because a robot does not die. It can replace a soldier or a sapper in the most dangerous place. These are technologies that really save lives.
• What story touched you?I know dozens of war stories, each one is in my heart. The guy who was left without arms and sight was remembered the most... Imagine, we have the opportunity to reduce the number of such cases🙏
• How do you explain the essence of the project to those who are not in the know?We are raising money for robots that work instead of people on the front line - demining, delivering, rescuing. It's like armor for life.
• What is unique about the project?We don't just buy equipment - we create a system, the whole world is involved!!! Our goal is not 1-2 robots, at least 100!!!
• Can ordinary people influence the course of the war?Yes, and we are already doing it! Every Ukrainian who donates or helps with information!!!
• What do you tell yourself when it's hard?I say: "This is temporary. It's not about you. It's about them - and they are waiting for you."
• What strength did you see in people?We, Ukrainians, are the embodiment of strength, courage, endurance, freedom. We create reality. We win!
