Flags of States Helping Ukraine Were Raised in Vinnytsia as a Token of Gratitude

"Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Great Britain, USA, Switzerland. Thank you to the peoples of these states! Vinnytsia residents know who is a true friend of the city and the country. The war dots the "I's" and crosses the "T's". We appreciate the incredible support of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. From the first days of the Russian invasion, the sister cities of Vinnytsia, Kielce and Panevėžys, immediately responded to our plight. We are grateful to our old friends - partners from Switzerland. The defense and financial assistance of Britain and the United States is of great importance to the state. Today we are side by side in the fight against the russian horde. And from today, our flags will also be flying nearby on the central square of the city. Glory to Ukraine! We will all win a great victory together!” says the head of Vinnytsia community Serhii Morhunov.

From the first days of the war, the peoples of these states have been helping Ukraine in such a difficult time. In particular, Vinnytsia is well supported.

Lithuania provides humanitarian and financial assistance. In addition, the authorities of the sister city of Panevėžys hold meetings with IDPs and organize actions in support of Ukrainians. There are also refugee assistance centers.

Since the beginning of the russian invasion of Ukraine, tens of tons of humanitarian aid have been delivered to Vinnytsia from Polish cities. In addition, Poles receive immigrants from Ukraine. Free evacuation buses are also sent from Vinnytsia to Poland.

Switzerland has deployed a humanitarian mission in Vinnytsia to provide for affected cities and displaced persons. The Swiss bought goods from Ukrainian and Vinnytsia enterprises, thus supporting the Ukrainian economy.

Vinnytsia receives humanitarian support and medicine from the sister city of Peterborough (Great Britain). In addition, the United Kingdom supplies Ukraine with weapons and military equipment and imposes tough sanctions against Russia. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, is one of the world leaders who helps Ukraine the most, not in words but in deeds: it is both about arms supplies and calls for other countries to increase their support.

The United States and Latvia provide strong defense and financial support to Ukraine.
