Dear Friend of Democracy, Freedom, and Peace:
More than 14,000 people have been killed during the most recent Russian war against Ukraine, which began in 2014. Many thousands more have been crippled, disabled, or severely injured; and more then 1.5 million civilians have been displaced, or are internal refugees.
Our small volunteer group in Buffalo, NY organized "Aid For Ukraine" fundraiser to rase money for humanitarian efforts.
Since 2014 we have already made hundreds of shipments of humanitarian aid including sleeping bags, winter coats, boots, socks, tourniquets, bandages, syringes, wheel chairs, and emergency respiratory equipment. Total weight of shipments is much more than 50,000 pounds. From 2014 through 2019 the Buffalo Ukrainian Community has raised $91,208 and we have spent $90,552. Most of our expenses have been for shipping and transportation which has allowed us to leverage several million dollars of medical aid donated by generous American organizations. We also helped displaced people, orphanages, families that lost loved ones and wounded soldiers.

As Russian military supplies continue to enter Ukraine, it becomes harder by the day for Putin to deny that Moscow is providing arms to the separatists.
In fact Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the US Army's top commander in Europe, says that Russian support for separatists has "doubled" since Ukraine and Russia reached a tentative ceasefire.
"When you look at the amount of Russian equipment that the proxies were using prior to the Minsk agreements, that amount has doubled beginning in December into the hundreds," Hodges told reporters on his first visit to Ukraine. Read More HERE
But the Kyiv government still has a mountain to climb.To those who accept Vladimir Putin’s view of Ukraine as an ‘artificial state’, the routing of pro-Russian insurgents from their stronghold in Slavyansk on July 5 might have come as a shock. It certainly appears to have surprised the Kremlin.

(Berlin) – Russian-backed insurgent forces in eastern Ukraine are arbitrarily detaining civilians and subjecting them to torture, degrading treatment, and forced labor. They also have detained civilians for use as hostages.
Beginning in April 2014, armed fighters supporting the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) have captured hundreds of civilians, targeting presumed critics, including journalists, pro-Ukrainian political activists, religious activists, and in some cases their family members.
