Press conference: How Razom for Ukraine helps to bring the victory of Ukraine closer

Topics of focus:
– The total volume of financial and advocacy support for Ukraine from Razom for Ukraine after russia’s full-scale invasion;
– Why Razom for Ukraine doesn’t collect funds in Ukraine, but instead raises funds abroad.
– Why does Razom for Ukraine deliver aid to defenders not to warehouses, but directly to the front line?
– Why are means of secure communication needed at the front today no less than drones?
– How tactical medicine from the RAZOM foundation saves lives on the front lines and in the rear.
– Pickup trucks and SUVs on the front line: why are they needed and why are they considered “expendable”?


For reference:
Razom for Ukraine charity organization is the largest American-Ukrainian foundation, which was founded in New York in 2014. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the fund has managed to collect over USD 100,000,000 in aid for Ukraine. During this time, the fund transferred hundreds of tons of tactical medicine, medical products and supplies, thousands of drones, radios, radio stations, pickup trucks, power generators, portable charging stations and other things to Ukrainian defenders, emergency services, clinics and hospitals with a total worth of more than USD 66,000,000.
