DAVINCI project

The charity project of the Association of Ukrainian Banks: "Da Vinci" documentary

 

About the project:

The Da Vinci documentary tells the story of the life and heroic deeds of Dmytro Kotsiubailo, a Ukrainian volunteer, commander of the Da Vinci Wolves battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who died on March 7, 2023, in the battle for Bakhmut.

The Association of Ukrainian Banks is convinced that it is important to honor and remember the deeds of those who gave their lives to protect Ukraine. The story of Dmytro Kotsiubailo is a story of true courage, dedication and patriotism. The Da Vinci movie gives people from all over Ukraine and the world the opportunity to get to know this incredible man and his feat.

AUB became a partner of the project, securing charitable support from 20 financial institutions. This assistance made it possible to complete the shooting of the film and organise its screenings throughout Ukraine and abroad. Project budget: UAH 1 570 000.
