Since the start of the SVO, Kernel has allocated more than 4.5 billion hryvnias (approximately $99.2 million) to support the defense forces and local communities. The company's tax contribution to budgets at all levels exceeded 19.5 billion hryvnias, which is about 429.7 million dollars. For fiscal year 2026, $38 million was allocated to social initiatives, including military support and veteran reintegration. The total amount of direct support and tax contributions reaches approximately 529 million dollars.
