MoD procured over 600,000 adaptive clothing items under the ‘Wounded Warrior Package’ initiative

Throughout 2025, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine procured and supplied over 600,000 adaptive clothing items to military medical facilities under the ‘Wounded Warrior Package’ initiative. 

The initiative forms part of the National Strategy for Creating a Barrier-Free Environment and focuses on maximizing comfort for wounded and ill service members during treatment and rehabilitation.

In particular, the State Operator for Non-Lethal Acquisition (DOT), the procurement agency of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, organized procurement and delivery of the following adaptive clothing items this year:

• 100,000 adaptive sleeveless shirts
• 100,000 adaptive shorts
• 100,000 adaptive short-sleeve shirts
• 100,000 adaptive long-sleeve shirts
• 50,000 adaptive trousers
• 150,000 pairs of summer socks

These items were prioritized for delivery to military medical facilities in frontline and border regions, including the Sumy, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Furthermore, an additional 50,000 personal hygiene kits were contracted under the project, including 48,000 for men and 2,000 for women, to cover the basic needs of service members arriving for medical treatment. 

The ‘Wounded Warrior Package’ project, implemented since the beginning of this year, ensures centralized provision of adaptive clothing and personal hygiene items to address the needs of service members during treatment and recovery. This is a practical application of the barrier-free principle: clothing adjusts to the individual's needs, not the other way around. The initiative also accounts for gender-specific needs, ensuring inclusivity for both women and men.
