Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!
Ukraine is in
danger! As it happened in ancient times, the danger came from the East. Russian troops openly entered the territory of Ukraine's mainland and
have footholded in the settlements are being held
by militants, separatists and terrorists.
This military force has dozens of battalion
tactical groups formed on the
basis of the Russian Special Forces. Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), the National Guard (NG) and volunteer battalions are facing elite troops of the aggressor.
Based on the information from Kyiv and
battlefields, in Ukraine, they are doing everything possible to protect
its sovereign territory and civilians,
despite stiff resistance from the anti-Ukrainian forces, corrupt officials and a state crisis of Ukrainian
society as a whole. The economic
situation in Ukraine and the slowness
of the bureaucratic system complicates
the provision of AFU, NG, and especially - the
volunteer forces with modern
weapons, ammunition and food
supplies.
In this regard, we call upon the organizations and activists
of the Ukrainian diaspora to increase
pressure on governments of friendly
towards Ukraine countries in order to
activate an urgent deliveries to
Ukraine of weapons, ammunition
and provisions using speed up and simplified procedures. Ukraine needs this assistance
immediately!
In turn, we are initiating the collection of the most essential household items and dry foods (the list is published separately) that are not considered as military or dual-use, for
immediate delivery to Ukraine and
for passing them to Ukrainian military in combat zones and civilians evacuated from areas of combat operations.
Consolidation and shipping of essentials for personal usage and dry food products to Ukraine is being provided by Ukraina, Inc. Funds for shipping these goods are
being collected and consolidated by Leadership
International Foundation. The cost of donated goods and products, as well
as funds for the shipping are tax deductible
in accordance with applicable United States laws.
We invite activists and volunteers to
join us.
