Hello,for those of you who do not know me I am Arnaud M, First Officer on the Boeing 787, working for Air France since 2006.
I'm back in Ukraine for a third stay of 3 weeks since early March to help our Ukrainian sisters and brothers.
They more than ever need help, the flow of international donations and food supplies drying up 3 months after February 24th.
A first stay in March / April oriented on medical assistance with the campaign hospital established at the Hrebenne / Rawa Ruska border post with the BTIA association, as well as many Medevacs and Transport of Ukrainians leaving the country with a 4x4 received in Donation of an individual whom we had conveyed from Manchester to Ukraine.
A second stay in April / May based in Lviv. Following a departure from France with a Renault traffic received as a donation from the Gueudet car dealerships and a truck filled with donations to the Polish border we were able to supply several humanitarian centers in L’viv as well as several other centers in Zhytomir, Bredichev and an orphanage northwest of Odesa. We have also been very solicited for Medical Evacuations of sick and wounded people and have been solicited to take people out of the country by different humanitarian centers. We also took out of Ukraine French nationals living in Dombass who were oriented towards us following contact with the French Foreign Ministry when they finally managed to flee the conflict zone.
Beautiful stories of families and children out of the country.
For this third stay in Ukraine the situation has changed quite a bit on the field following the "Southern and Eastern" offensives.
As a start, the bulk of the Logistics Centers in Poland and Lviv are near empty and no longer have food supplies /hygiene products to be provided to be brought in areas close to the conflict areas that are no longer normally supplied.
In addition, the evacuation needs have moved from Kyiv to Odesa where we are to be based at least initially.
The fuel scarcity and rationing also complicated the situation for Ukrainians who unlike us can not leave the country and go refuel in Poland or Moldova.
During our first two stays we had needed small donations to pay the diesel of the Trafic mini-van that was our only expense
It has now become a necessity to help in the purchase of basic necessities, namely food and hygiene products.
We know by experience that a fully loaded mini-van of these goods costs us roughly 1000 $ at the METRO Big Box Store in Lviv (which also makes the local economy run a bit) which is almost normally supplied.
The goal is now to get enough funds to make the most “full load” deliveries during our traveling inside Ukrainian to go pick up people needing evacuations.
100% of the donations go to the purchase of food and hygiene products that we will distribute to the Ukrainian people.
The invoices will be put on this Telegram group:
