"Now, all of our resources go towards helping our country win this," Prychyna, 27, told FOX Business over the weekend. "I really want everyone in the world to know, transportation drivers who transport goods and services are heroes just like the military and the paramedics."
Prychyna has stayed in her apartment in Kyiv, from where she has worked every day since the start of the war, coordinating refrigerated trucks to pick upfrom Europe and distribute it throughout Ukraine. "I personally do not have a shelter where I live," she said. "The shelters have bad network connection, so I have decided not allow myself to go… because I wouldn’t know if any of my drivers need navigation help.
"So many of our workers have families," she continued, "but they understand that if our company would stop working and we didn't do our job for 10 days, probably some people wouldn't get food… Not everyone has food saved. They go to the store and they find no food, we are the only way they will get food. When the war will be stopped, if we would win, I just want everyone to know about the heroic actions of the drivers that we have.
The company has had to restructure to meet the new circumstances. "We have a new department to monitor the roads, a driver is on the phone with a person in a bunker with their laptop and the person is telling them which road to go down, ‘here you can’t go, the bridge has exploded, turn left, turn right.’ It’s like a live GPS that changes every minute."
"One worker took his own car with donations from our clients and we went around Kyiv to the Ukrainian soldiers," she recounted. "I called him when he got home and I asked him, ‘Do you have anything left for yourself?’ And he said, ‘No, but I’m OK.'"
