Fishing Retreat: Healing for Veterans

Serenity, water, and comrades nearby — this is the essence of recovery.

In the Odessa region, a fishing day was organized for veterans — not just a break, but a chance to catch their breath and connect with those around them.

This event symbolizes care and recognition. For those who have faced the front lines, having a safe space for adaptation and emotional healing is crucial.

Why this matters:

  • informal communication among peers;
  • relief after harrowing experiences;
  • returning to the simple joys of life.

We are grateful to all who have defended and continue to defend our nation. We strive to support their journey towards a peaceful 'after.'

Event organizers and partners:

  • Anatoliy Belev — head of the sports society «Spartak»;
  • Volodymyr Stanislavov — owner of the «Aqua-City» water body;
  • Odessa Art Museum;
  • Odessa Regional Fishing Sports Federation;
  • Department of Physical Culture and Sports of OVA;
  • Rehabilitation Department; Golden Catch; FeederSport; Cool House; Fisherman's Mail.

We support our defenders!
