[Global Ukraine Rail Task Force] Thank you! Help is on its way to Ukrainian railway workers and their families
A short time after the beginning of Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine, the Global Ukraine Rail Task Force set up a targeted donation campaign to help the Iron Family (the workers of the Ukrainian rail sectors) and their families.
In the course of several months, more than 100.000€ were collected thanks to the generosity of the donors. The proceeds will be used to purchase 5000 food packages that will be shipped and delivered to railway workers and their families at the frontline and newly liberated territories of Ukraine. Because of recurrent supply issues due to the war, Ukrainians at the frontline go sometimes hungry. Therefore, food packages are truly vital to their wellbeing.
[Global Ukraine Rail Task Force] Russian Railways (‘RZD’) is not telling the whole story
Russian Railways RZD sent an appeal to the Council of the European Union with the urgent request to lift the sanctions that were placed upon it just days after Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
However, RZD keeps playing a crucial role in supporting and protracting Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
