On the 24th of February 2022, Russia launched a military offensive into Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and destroying the country’s infrastructure. More than a quarter of the population has been forced to flee their homes. In the first few weeks, more than 4.3 million refugees fled Ukraine, and a second as many were internally displaced. It is the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II.
We cannot be indifferent to the suffering of our neighbours – we immediately set out to help!

According to very accurate reports on the situation at the border crossings, which were prepared by our Warsaw headquarters, the most difficult situation at the moment is at the crossing point in Kroscienko. This is where we will be working today. The location we were at last night is now being taken care of by brave scouts. However, there are no longer as many pedestrians there as there were yesterday, and the crossing itself takes them less than an hour.
We have however received many requests for help from mothers with children on the Ukrainian side of the Krościenko crossing. They need warmth, because the clothes in which they have been standing for hours in a queue of over 700 people are already soaked. They are mainly people from the east of Ukraine, which means that they have already been on the road for several days. The queue of cars to the crossing point already stretches for more than 30 kilometres.
We have just arrived and are entering Ukraine. We did it again! Keep your fingers crossed!

Exactly how many no one knows, because getting aid to the occupied territories is like asking the aggressor for an open day in his trenches. On the 11th of June, the Russians fired on a boat with civilians […]

What if this was your neighbourhood? If, between the billowing smoke, you spotted the ruins of the grocery store where you had shopped since you were a child? To which your mother would still send you with a list written in pencil on a piece of paper so you wouldn’t forget anything? Bachmut had more […]
