HELP FOR UKRAINE NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER

My name is Mick Antoniw. I am a second-generation Ukrainian living in Wales, where I am Member of Senedd (the Welsh Parliament) for Pontypridd.

Since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, I and others have been fundraising to take vehicles and life-saving supplies to Ukraine.

Alongside other Senedd Members under the 'Senedd 4 Ukraine' banner, and with significant support from Trade Unions, businesses and private individuals, we have made 12 trips to Ukraine, delivering a total of 30 vehicles and over £1million in aid.

Our previous trip to Ukraine was our first time using the Go Fund Me platform - that raised £12,470 which went a long way towards buying the vehicles and meeting the costs of preparing and transporting them.

We will be making our 13th delivery to Ukraine in July 2025.

Testimonies from recipients of our help have told us that the support has been invaluable and has saved lives.

The situation in Ukraine remains dire, with much of the country's infrastructure destroyed, and with a dangerous shift in global politics, they need our help now more than ever. The recent attack on Sumy and the resultant loss of life there shows how much the people of Ukraine need our solidarity.

Please give what you are able. The money will be used to purchase and deliver 4x4 vehicles to be converted into field ambulances.

Diolch yn fawr/ Thank you.
