About
Empowering Ukraine Through Mriya
The Mriya aircraft, officially known as the Antonov An-225 Mriya, is a one-of-a-kind cargo aircraft that holds the record for being the largest and heaviest airplane ever built. "Mriya" means "dream" or "inspiration" in Ukrainian, aptly reflecting the ambitious vision behind its creation.
When Russia started the full-scale invasion on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Russian troops have seized control of Hostomel Air Base, where the AN-225 “Mriya” was located and destroyed it when retreating from the Kyiv region.
Mriya Fund works with preserving the memory of the famous Ukrainian Mriya aircraft, destroyed by Russia and raises international funds to support Ukraine against the Russian aggression.
