On October 11, 2024, the Safety Space of 2402 Foundation hosted a meeting with Christian Borys, founder of the world-renowned brand Saint Javelin, marking the beginning of a new phase of collaboration.
The partnership includes implementing a series of joint projects aimed at strengthening support for Ukraine during the full-scale invasion. This initiative represents a powerful symbiosis of international influence and local expertise in security and humanitarian assistance.
As a member of the Advisory Board, Christian Borys has actively supported all of the Foundation’s initiatives since its founding. His visit was marked by the signing of a memorandum of cooperation, opening new horizons for future projects.
«The main goal of this partnership is to provide better and more comprehensive support to journalists and everyone who tells the truth about what is happening in Ukraine due to Russia’s invasion.» — Kateryna Sergatskova
One of the initial stages of cooperation will be the opening of Ukraine’s first physical corner with Saint Javelin products in 2402 Foundation’s Safety Space. This provides a unique opportunity to purchase legendary items from the brand that has become a symbol of international support for Ukraine.
Christian Borys also had the opportunity to experience the VR technologies that the Foundation uses during HEFAT (Hostile Environment and First Aid Training). Christian and the Foundationʼs team discussed the current challenges facing Ukraine and outlined opportunities for joint projects aimed at strengthening support for the country.

«As a former journalist, I understand the vital role journalism plays during wartime. The world must know the full truth about Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as this directly influences both military support and the pursuit of justice in the future.» — Christian Borys
This is just the beginning of collaboration between the organizations. Several joint projects are planned for the near future, with details to be announced later.
