Winter support in Ukraine

For many people who have been displaced due to the conflict, wood-burning fireplaces are how they stay warm and how they have been able to cook this winter due to long power outages, with electricity sometimes available for only an hour or so a day. Some families have made the move not knowing if they will ever return to their homes. Iryna Pylypchuk and her family fled from Donetsk, now they share a tiny house in a rural village in Poltava. “I am deeply worried. I want to go home. I cry, my soul hurts, and every day I dream of my home. But our village no longer exists – it has been completely destroyed and still my soul longs for home,” Iryna said. The Canadian Red Cross supports the Ukrainian Red Cross Society with winterization grants that support people who have been displaced internally meet their needs during the winter – including firewood, winter clothing, or fuel. Thanks to the generosity of people in Canada and the Government of Canada, the Red Cross provides these grants in Poltava and Cherkasy Oblasts.
