Archa III is already helping to preserve cultural heritage in Ukraine

MND is continuing its support for Ukraine through a second charity project in collaboration with Olena Zelenska’s foundation. Following the success of the first project, which helped dozens of foster families in Ukraine, the company has decided to support a unique initiative aimed at children in hospital.

MND, a company that has been operating in Ukraine for many years, has purchased a total of ten electricity generators, costing eleven million crowns, for the residents of Kyiv. The generators vary in size – ranging from high-output units with a capacity of 140 kW, capable of supplying electricity to large apartment blocks, to smaller generators with an output of 13 kW designed for smaller buildings.

KKCG founder and Chairman of the Board Karel Komárek has confirmed our commitment to Ukraine on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the war. Take a moment to revisit our support for local businesses and communities – and why it is so essential not only to continue this support, but also to stand openly behind it.

"Yay, notebooks!" exclaims the ten-year-old girl enthusiastically, happily taking her school supplies out of her new backpack. Ordinary school supplies – something that most children in the Czech Republic take for granted – are a rarity for her.

More space, more light and room for growth. On 18 November this year, MND Ukraine officially opened its new modern offices in Lviv. The spacious, wood-panelled and airy premises offer employees significantly better working conditions and a representative setting for meetings. The new headquarters in the very centre of the city also allows for further planned growth of the team.

The MND Group has been operating in Ukraine for over ten years and, despite the war, it has managed not only to maintain operations but also to gradually develop gas production. However, everyday work takes place in conditions that most of us in Czechia or Germany can hardly imagine. We talked to Volodya Stebletsky, Technical Director of MND Ukraine, about how MND Ukraine works today, what is most difficult and what gives them the strength to continue.

MND in Ukraine is expanding the scope of its assistance. Representatives of the company signed an agreement with the Olena Zelenska Foundation and supported two of its projects. At the same time, in the Lviv region, they have started sponsoring parasports, contributing to the reintegration of people with disabilities into normal life.

At the end of 2024, the five-year contract between Russia's Gazprom and Ukraine's Naftogaz for gas transit to Europe expired. Ukraine had previously announced that it was not interested in extending the contract, so the gas flow was stopped as of 1 January 2025.

Last year Pavel Kratochvíl participated as a geologist from Hodonín in 3D seismic measurements on the Zukivska licence in the Poltava region in eastern Ukraine. In the interview he describes his experiences from the trip and the specifics of working in the area crossed by missiles.

MND Ukraine consists of a group of several companies. Today the main company in Ukraine is the company Horyzonty. MND Ukraine owns exploration and production rights from a total of eight licenses covering an aggregate area of almost 400 square kilometres and with a daily production of 500,000 cubic metres. MND's activities are currently managed by 59 colleagues.
