The fight against the Russian invader must be fought by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are the only ones who can stop the violence, the killing and the war crimes performed by Russians.    
From the onset of war, we realised we had to support the Ukrainians by any means available. We started off as a private initiative by friends and family, raising funds to buy essential first aid and protective materials for the Ukrainian Military. Not before long, this initiative turned into a coordinated effort and became “Protect Ukraine”, a non-profit organization entirely run by volunteers and governed by Dutch law.    

We closely cooperate with our Ukrainian counterparts, such as Army units and the TRO, the Ukrainian Volunteer Army. They tell us what they need, we buy it or fund it, ship it or bring it.
