We have increased our weekly food kits distribution from 1500 to 1600. Our focus right now is in the Sumy region because of Russian summert offensive from the north, many families there need help with basic groceries.
Villages close to the Russian border have been evacuated, and the city of Sumy, located just 40 kilometers from the front, remains under constant threat. Since the start of the offensive, Hope For Ukraine (HFU) has been on the ground assisting with evacuations and delivering emergency aid to vulnerable populations. Many of those fleeing the region are elderly residents who have left their homes behind in search of safety within Sumy or in towns farther from the frontline.
Delivering aid in Sumy has become increasingly dangerous. HFU vehicles and personnel risk being detected by Russian drones, which jeopardizes both the safety of the teams and the delivery of vital supplies. Most recently, two of Hope For Ukraine’s volunteers were injured by a Russian drone while delivering aid. Still, the organization remains committed to its mission. “This is a story of resilience,” said Boyechko. “As global attention shifts away from Ukraine, we are committed to continuing our work and supporting the people who are still enduring the harshest impacts of this war.”
