“Ukrainian Paralympians are real heroes! Thanks to them, the Ukrainian flag is raised on the world sports stage, the Ukrainian anthem is played in different parts of the world, and many people from different countries unite to help Ukraine in a difficult time in our country's life. Our sincere desire is to support these courageous athletes. In addition, we consider cooperation with the Paralympic Movement to be another component of Oschadbank's inclusive program “My Barrier-Free”, which, among other things, aims to remove obstacles to the full life of people with disabilities. We thank our partner - the National Committee - for its huge contribution to the development of inclusiveness in Ukrainian sports”, comments Serhiy Naumov, Chairman of the Management Board of Oschadbank.

As part of the “My Barrier-Free” program, Oschadbank, based on its own experience, research, and best international practices, implements many projects aimed at helping people with disabilities and, in particular, veterans. The bank's internal transformations cover three main areas: physical accessibility of branches, communication barriers and a special service model, as well as the development of digital technologies. A separate major area of work is to promote the physical rehabilitation of veterans and their reintegration into the country's economic life. An important component of the program is to initiate a broad public discussion on the need to create a barrier-free environment in Ukraine. To this end, the bank, together with its partners, holds special events, supports the release of popular shows and relevant media materials.

The National Paralympic Team of Ukraine consisting of 140 athletes (96 men and 44 women) will take part in 17 of the 22 sports represented in the 2024 Paralympic Games program: Para Athletics, Para Powerlifting, Para Judo, Para Archery, Para Table Tennis, Para Wheelchair Fencing, Para Shooting, Para Swimming, Para Rowing, Para Cycling, Para Goalball, Para Canoeing, Para Triathlon, Para Badminton, Para Taekwondo, Para Boccia and Para Seated Volleyball.

The motto of this Paralympic Games is Games Wide Open, which symbolizes equality. The motto of the Ukrainian National Paralympic Team is “Your support is our victory!”

We wish victories to the national Paralympic team at the 17th Summer Paralympic Games in Paris!
