"To date, over 300,000 people have received disability status in Ukraine due to two years of war. Society cannot stand aside. Nova Poshta is a socially responsible business. We have opened the first barrier-free branch in Kyiv. Today, we are holding the first barrier-free marathon. We are making running accessible to everyone. Many parents with children in wheelchairs have completed the 42 and 21 km distances today. We saw many parents yesterday running with strollers. Today, we see many defenders on prosthetics covering their kilometres."
