Veterans of the GUR finished one of the most difficult races in the world.
Veterans of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with amputations became finishers of one of the most difficult races in the world, the Spartan Ultra World Championship. The Ukrainian defenders covered 52 kilometers of mountain track on prosthetics.
The defenders conquered a course with over 60 obstacles and an altitude gain of over 2,800 meters, enduring for 9.5 hours. They continue to actively serve Ukraine, proving the indomitable spirit of Ukrainian warriors.
The defenders shared their impressions: 'We feel exhausted, but we need no 'extra'. We have a task, a goal — and we have achieved it.'
Another veteran noted: 'This challenge allowed us to reveal our character and will to live, to be unyielding and strong, not only for ourselves but for others.'
Participation in the Spartan Ultra World Championship is part of the Limitless project aimed at raising funds for the rehabilitation of veterans of the GUR MO of Ukraine. Previously, veterans made an ascent to the base camp of Everest on prosthetics, which became the first such achievement in the history of Ukraine.
Ukrainian intelligence veterans continue to amaze with their courage and resilience, actively participating in various challenges and events that confirm the indomitable spirit and the significant role of veterans in society.
