Borscht for the ZSU Patch

We are incredibly lucky to have been given a few of these rare patches.

We have helped this amazing group many times with money to help buy equipment and also ingredients and other costs. 

They are an incredible help to the health and morale of the guys on the front, giving them healthy and nutritious food along with a taste of home. 

Now more than ever, when being on position can stretch into months at a time, they need the lift that comes from tasting home.

Each Patch purchased will fund the cost of 5 bags of Borscht Soup, that will feed 5 men for a day. 

Wear this patch with pride knowing you are truly helping to look after those who defend Ukraine. 

The patch in the image is a volunteer morale patch for a community initiative called "Borscht for the ZSU" (Борщ для ЗСУ). It is not an official military unit insignia but rather a symbol worn by volunteers or supporters of humanitarian efforts that prepare and deliver traditional Ukrainian food to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU).

Patch Symbolism & Text

Top Inscription: "КОЖНА ПОРЦІЯ — КРОК ДО ПЕРЕМОГИ" (Every portion is a step toward victory).

Center Inscription: "БОРЩ ДЛЯ ЗСУ" (Borscht for the ZSU).

Visual Elements: A bowl of steaming red borscht (traditional beet soup) served on a Ukrainian embroidered towel (rushnyk), set against the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag. 

The patch represents the "food front" of the Ukrainian volunteer movement. It is specifically associated with groups like Borsch for ZSU and the #ПОХС (POHS) volunteer network, which focus on producing dehydrated or "instant" borscht and other nutritional kits for soldiers in the field. 

Purpose: These kits allow soldiers to have a hot, nutritious, home-cooked meal by simply adding boiling water, which is vital for maintaining morale and health on the front lines.

Community Support: The initiative is fueled by local donations and grassroots logistics, often including personal packages with sweets and socks alongside the food portions.
