Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Committee chair says Canadians’ donations totalling $52-million was desperately needed
Canadians donated $52-million for aid efforts in Ukraine last year and their continued support is needed, Ukrainian Canadian organizations said Wednesday as the conflict neared its one-year mark.
Hetmanczuk said $26-million of the funds raised has so far gone to providing food, medical assistance and power supplies such as generators to those affected by the war. The remaining funds will go to further humanitarian efforts, he said. Millions have been forced from their homes, 60 per cent of public infrastructure has been destroyed and around 30 per cent of the country’s territory is now contaminated with landmines, she said via Zoom at Tuesday’s press conference.“Each of that donation, each bunch of support, whether it was food, clothes or de-mining equipment saving lives of many Ukrainians who are still living in Ukraine in a very tough and dire circumstances,” she said.
Chyczij said she was among a group of Ukrainians who took part in a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a year ago to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine right before the war had started.
