30-METER-LONG MURAL WITH UAV SHARK APPEARED AT OKKO STATION IN KYIV

A new art object appeared at one of OKKO’s gas stations in Kyiv. An outstanding mural covering the entire wall of the station can be found at the intersection of Bogatyrska and Luhova streets. The image of 30 meters length and 9 meters height represents a soldier holding on the shoulder his aide - the SHARK drone.

OKKO network and "Come Back Alive" foundation have been raising funds for the purchase of 25 intelligence complexes for the Armed Forces since November 2022. Currently, there have been already collected the sum equal to 14 SHARKS.

"By creating this art object, we were eager to express our gratitude to all Ukrainian defenders. And also, to all Ukrainians who joined our initiative "OKO ZA OKO" (EYE FOR AN EYE), who fuels up vehicles with the Pulls of revenge and donates money on SHARKs. After the victory, the mural will remind us of the strength and unity of the Ukrainian people," saidYaroslava Polyakova, the Head of OKKO's corporate communications department.

The idea of the mural was inspired by the flash mob of Ukrainian illustrators who posted on social networks a whole series of works, dedicated to SHARKs. As it was stated, the final choice among all the works was difficult, as all of them were filled with creativity and patriotism, but still the choice was made for the illustration of the author Dartsya Zironka.

We remind that from November 1, 2022, OKKO gas station network launched "OKO ZA OKO" initiative together with "Come back alive" foundation, with the aim to purchase 25 SHARK intelligence systems for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For this need, the company transfers 1 hryvnia from every sold liter of PULLS 95/DIESEL fuel.

SHARK is a modern development of the Ukrainian company Ukrspetssystems and partners, which has a number of unique technological advantages, it is able to adjust artillery fire, including HIMARS salvo fire systems, and to perform a number of different combat missions. One complex includes a ground control station based on a modified four-wheel drive vehicle, launcher and unmanned aerial device.
