CALL FOR DONATIONS

For the Organization of Humanitarian Transports into Ukraine from Austria and the Transport/Evacuation of Ukrainian Refugees to Austria

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Lower Austria will operate – starting next week - a shuttle service between Austria and Polish/Hungarian and Slovak border villages to Ukraine. Objectives are to:

· Buy critical supply goods for Ukrainian refugees and to bring them to refugee arrival centers at the borders or to hand them over at the border to Ukrainian authorities for further transport and distribution into Ukraine. The purchase of goods will be strictly linked to the official request list of supply goods by the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Embassy in Austria.

· Collect refugees at the respective borders and refugee centers and to bring them into Austria. The priority is to collect refugees with already existing family or other links to existing refugees in Austria and to facilitate families to reconnect in Austria.

· To supply and operate transport vehicles for the shuttle service.

· To operate special need transports in/out of Ukraine as soon as the security situation allows.
