Help us to help Ukraine!

The war in Ukraine continues, it is becoming more and more brutal and requires more and more victims, and the suffering of the civilian population is indescribable. What is happening can already be called a general humanitarian crisis: firing and attacks on civilians, lack of food, medicine, drinking water. No basic services available – health care, heat, transport.

The Latvian Red Cross is supporting victims in Ukraine and those those fleeing the war to Latvia.
