Courage and Triumph: Stepan Korobkin at Kilimanjaro
On September 1, 2025, in Kyiv, at the Respublika Park shopping center, a documentary film about Ukrainian Armed Forces veteran Stepan Korobkin premiered.
The film recounts the events of December 12, 2024, when the veteran, supported by Ukrainian record-holder Tetiana Yalovchak, ascended Africa's highest peak, Kilimanjaro (5895 meters), choosing the challenging Machame route.
Stepan Korobkin set a record with his right arm amputated. He underwent osteointegrative prosthetics and rehabilitation at the 'TYTANOVI' center.
His background includes participation in combat since the ATO, a severe injury, amputation, and 32 surgeries.
Stepan Korobkin's story exemplifies that nothing is impossible, emphasizes Viacheslav Zaporozhets, founder of the 'TYTANOVI' rehabilitation center.
“Each of our patients faces their own challenges after injuries, but the strength of spirit, family support, and modern rehabilitation methods can bring them back to an active life. Climbing Kilimanjaro is not only a sporting achievement but a symbol of victory over adversity that inspires other veterans to fight for their future,” added Viacheslav Zaporozhets.
Respublika Park highlights its commitment to supporting projects that showcase the spirit of Ukrainians.
“Stories like Stepan Korobkin's demonstrate incredible willpower and inspire others. We take pride in and support joint charitable initiatives with our partners,” said Yuliya Shchaslyva, CEO of Respublika Park.
The film featuring Stepan Korobkin is available to watch online via the link.
Those interested are encouraged to contribute to the fundraising for titanium implants for veterans' osteointegration.
