Approaching victory: “Alliance Energо Trade” strengthened the Ukrainian defenders

On October 16, the company “Alliance Energо Trade” (AET) handed over a car tank for the transportation of fuel to the 228th separate logistics battalion. This was reported to enkorr in the company’s press service.

“This is a high-quality Kassbohrer STS-35 tank with a volume of 35 m3 on a modern chassis,” noted Petro Bilko, head of the company’s logistics department. According to him, this semi-trailer is the sixth unit that the company has given to the military since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Prior to this, AET had already transferred 5 units of equipment with a total cost of about 3.9 million UAH from its own fleet to various units of the Armed Forces. The press service of AET also noted that the transfer of equipment is only part of a large program to support the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

The commander of the 228th separate battalion, lieutenant colonel Vasyl Uryvko, noted that fuel and lubricants are a key product of military logistics, and the effective organization of the process of providing military units with fuel directly affects the quality of combat tasks at the front.

“Thank you to the partners from the Alliance Energо Trade company for the provided tank semi-trailer, which simplified logistics and increased the efficiency of delivering fuel to combat brigades. Thanks to this help, we replaced four smaller tanks, which means reduced costs for wheels, repairs and refueling. This significantly increases the effectiveness of the use of resources,” Vasyl Uryvko said in an enkorr comment.

He also noted that the battalion needs 5 more fuel tankers with a volume of 28 m3 or more: “This quantity will make it possible to completely reorganize the fuel delivery system to combat brigades, make it as efficient as possible.”

The 228th separate logistics battalion is a young unit that provides fuel to a significant number of combat brigades and battalions performing tasks on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. The battalion’s daily task is to efficiently and quickly receive, unload, and organize the logistics of important cargo for the front line: fuel, ammunition, and food. The battalion also carries out the tasks of evacuating damaged equipment and weapons from the battlefield, restoring them and returning them to service.

“Alliance Energо Trade” is one of the largest suppliers of fuel to Ukraine and one of the largest wholesale traders in the domestic market. The operator maintains one of the largest specialized fleets of vehicles for the transportation of bitumen and light petroleum products, which has about 500 units. Due to the Russian invasion, AET automobile bases in Gostomel and Havrylivka (both – Kyiv region) suffered significant losses, more than 140 transport units were damaged, in particular, 47 tankers and 62 semi-trailer trucks were completely destroyed.
