NEIGHBOR IN NOT board member Andreas Knapp, together with board member Michael Opriesnig and Lisa Zuckerstätter from ORF, takes stock of 1.5 years of aid to Ukraine immediately after his trip to Ukraine.
Vienna (OTS) – When on 24.2. When millions of people in Ukraine were woken up at 4 a.m. and had to flee in the days that followed, nobody expected that war and violence would still be raging more than 500 days later and threatening the lives of local people. Suffering and death, flight and expulsion are back in our immediate vicinity.
On February 24, 2022, the ORF and NEIGHBOR IN NOT started an appeal for donations to help the needy population in Ukraine. Thanks to the overwhelming solidarity and willingness to donate on the part of the Austrian population, the help of NACHBAR IN NOT was able to start immediately after the Russian attack on Ukraine. The aid from Austria reaches the people in Ukraine quickly and directly and always responds to current needs.
