'War veteran Yurii Lysak opened a craft workshop for working with wood for the
military with a United Nations Development Program grant.

The new organization will allow war veterans to feel that they are needed.
Also, veterans who became disabled due to the war will be able to restore their
mental health.

"When I left the ranks of the Armed Forces, it was difficult for me to find a
job, so I started making wood products. My first piece was a wooden snowman. To
make it, I only had a drill, a grinder, and a jigsaw," says Yurii. "I thought
that if I had more tools, I could do something more interesting and involve my
fellow soldiers in the common cause. That's how the idea to create a workshop
arose."'
